These grants benefit the WV-INBREas a whole as well as the PUIs, and each focused on a biomedical research project. Project proposalscould be for initiation of a new research endeavor or to continue an ongoing project. Individual investigatorsat each PUI could apply for a maximum of award of $40,000. Funded projects were required to involveundergraduates in the research. Continuation of funding for previously funded projects required solidevidence of research progress.SUBPROJECT PROGRESSFaculty Research Development Awards granted this year were to: Dr. Kaushal, University ofCharleston, $13,200; Dr. Linger, University of Charleston, $10,000; Dr. Kim, Shepherd University,$28,800; and Dr. Luo, Alderson-Broaddus College, $40,000.PROTECTION AGAINST RESEARCH RISKSN 1. Will human subjects be involved next year?N 2. Will vertebrate animals be used next year?N 3. Will recombinant DNA experiment(s) be conducted next year?Y 4. Are there potential hazards to laboratory workers (carcinogens, pathogens, ionizing radiation, etc.)involved in the proposed research for next year?
