Goal

The goal of this grant is to give students the opportunity to pursue research they are passionate about while giving them the chance to engaged in hands-on learning with higher-level research.  

What will be done with my students

Students will carry out their research projects using the materials provided through this grant. Diverse research methods will be used by the students; for example, scientific research on the effects of types of sleep on the immune system will be done through analysis of protein levels in saliva and correlational and quantitative research will be done by many students through the use of survey and data analysis using surveys and medical equipment.  

Benefits to my students

The 18 students will be given the opportunity to go beyond surface-level research to implement methods that will give them a greater understanding of conducting research and the wide variety of research methods available. These methods include mass surveying, experimental research, naturalistic observation, and correlational studies. Students will also be able to dive into different fields of study such as social science, biology, and psychology. The current and future students will have more valuable resources made available to them through this grant. For example, proper equipment to conduct experiments with, access to software used to set up and analyze data, and resources used to create and send out surveys.  

Budget Narrative

The tools and materials we are asking for are necessary for students to carry out their individual research projects. This grant will provide cytokine measuring kits that will be used to measure immune function in relation to sleep, a blood pressure cuff to measure blood pressure and stress levels of coaches and athletes, survey software will be used by most if not all of the class to develop better quality surveys and reach out to a wider margin of people, four cases of copier paper will be used to print surveys and consent forms. More conclusive, and descript data is possible if contacting a larger body of participants is made possible.
