An award is made to Northern Kentucky University, a primarily undergraduate institution, for the acquisition of a Miltenyi Biotec MACSQuant VYB digital benchtop flow cytometer for their Biology and Chemistry teaching laboratories, faculty research capabilities, and undergraduate research training. Current undergraduate students will have access to this innovative and sophisticated technology to answer research questions in neuroscience, immunology, microbiology, and biochemistry. This instrumentation will enhance outreach programs with regional high school students by providing exposure to advanced research equipment and methodology. The flow cytometer will generate detailed biological data that students may use for training on data organization and analysis.The flow cytometer expands research opportunities for faculty studying neuroscience, immunology, aquatic microbiology, and the mechanics of gene expression. All research faculty at Northern Kentucky University work closely with undergraduate students as research assistants in their laboratories and undergraduate students receive hands-on experience with all instrumentation. The instrumentation acquired through this award will allow faculty and students to answer questions related to brain development, genome quantification in eukaryotic algae, immune responses to novel vaccine vectors, and the molecular machinery of protein translation. The flow cytometer allows students to access and to analyze complex data sets that they will generate through experiential learning. Data generated using this machine will be disseminated to the public via presentations and peer-reviewed publications. The expansion of research infrastructure at Northern Kentucky University is critical to the mission of a student-centered education and graduates that contribute to the region in meaningful ways.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

北肯塔基大学（主要是本科机构）颁发了奖励，以获取Miltenyi Biotec MacSquant Macsquant Vyb Digital Bactop流式细胞仪，用于其生物学和化学教学实验室，教师研究能力和本科研究培训。当前的本科生将可以使用这项创新且复杂的技术，以回答神经科学，免疫学，微生物学和生物化学方面的研究问题。该仪器将通过提供先进的研究设备和方法来加强与区域高中生的外展计划。流式细胞仪将生成学生可以在数据组织和分析上培训的详细生物学数据。流式细胞仪扩大了研究神经科学，免疫学，水生微生物学和基因表达力学的研究机会。北肯塔基大学的所有研究学院都与本科生紧密合作，作为其实验室和本科生的研究助手，都可以获得所有乐器的动手经验。通过该奖项获得的仪器将使教职员工能够回答与大脑发育，真核藻类中的基因组定量有关的问题，对新型疫苗媒介的免疫反应以及蛋白质翻译的分子机制。流式细胞仪允许学生访问和分析通过体验式学习生成的复杂数据集。使用该计算机生成的数据将通过演示和同行评审的出版物传播给公众。北肯塔基大学研究基础设施的扩展对于以学生为中心的教育和以有意义的方式为该地区做出贡献的毕业生的使命至关重要。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准来通过评估来通过评估来支持的。
