Immunohematology Gel Technology Grant uri icon

abstract

  • The East Carolina University (ECU) Department of Clinical Laboratory Science requests $9104.50 in funding for an Ortho Clinical Workstation and consumables for gel testing (immunohematology) for one year. Our program serves undergraduate students who major in Clinical (Medical) Laboratory Science and culminates with a bachelor's degree. This request speaks to each of the funding categories in this grant program. Currently, we provide students with manual tube-testing experiences in our Immunohematology curriculum, although many hospitals are now adopting the newer gel technology. The ability to provide our students with laboratory exercises using gel testing creates a richer environment for student learning that will translate to career, and supports classroom theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience.
