This $200,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will strengthen undergraduate learning in molecular biology and cell biology at Regis University. The funding will be used to purchase critical laboratory equipment, including three thermocyclers, one qPCR machine, classroom sets of compound and stereo microscopes, and one confocal microscope. This equipment will enable an estimated 690 students and 12 faculty per year to conduct research and coursework in molecular biology, cell biology, developmental biology, genetics, virology, and immunology. The project aims to enrich the learning and research experiences of undergraduate students by upgrading and providing access to state-of-the-art molecular and cell biology instrumentation. The impact of the funded equipment will be assessed using portions of the Survey of Undergraduate Research Experiences (SURE) and the Biology Self-Efficacy Scale. No sub-awards are planned for this project.
