A major goal of OK-INBRE is curriculum redesign and course development intended to improve the
preparation of future biomedical researchers. Funds for salary ($2,500) will be provided to assist faculty members at the OK-INBRE network Community Colleges to develop new courses or improve existing ones to augment the science curriculum, and to stimulate and strengthen the role of research into curricula traditionally limited to classroom instruction. Applications will be
accepted throughout the year for either the fall, spring or summer
terms.
The $2,500 budget maximum can consist of salary only with the institution committing to provide fringe benefits and taxes, or the $2,500 can consist of both salary and fringe.
