New England College is a recipient of a National Institutes of Health INBRE ( IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence) grant which supports the NEC INBRE Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP). SURP offers students research training opportunities at New England College with NEC professors/mentors in Psychology or Biology and Health Science for an 8 to 10 week period during May – August 2012. The specific time depends on the research project. The goal of the INBRE grant is to provide research opportunities that help encourage students to pursue graduate programs in biomedical research. For more information see the NEC INBRE at the NEC webpage http://www.nec.edu/inbre and NH INBRE web page http://nhinbre.org/ or contact the professors listed below.
- Student Profile
-
My name is Christy Atkinson; I am currently a senior working toward a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology. For the first fifteen years after high school graduation I journeyed through several occupations including the United Sates Marine Corp, a small café owner, a nursing assistant and a habilitation specialist. As a habilitation specialist I was working with dually diagnosed, mentally compromised, teenagers in a federal hospital to gain life skills to live and work outside of an institution. I am a veteran of the Gulf War of 1990, a single parent, and a non-traditional student attending New England College in Henniker, a small college originally began to educate returning WW11 veterans.
- INBRE GRANT TRANSFORMS RESEARCH LABORATORIES AT NEC

The linoleum floors, standard black slate countertops, and old cabinets painted in bright primary colors didn’t exactly scream “RESEARCH” when New England College students walked into the science laboratories. With little storage facilities, cramped working spaces, and meager equipment, conducting any serious study has been a challenge for them. But thanks to about $68,000 from the National Institutes of Health in the form of the INBRE grant, that’s all changed. New England College was the only INBRE partner in New Hampshire to be awarded renovation funds as part of the larger $650,000 grant received by the College in September.
