在美国国立卫生研究院/国家老龄化研究所 (NIH/NIA) (R15/AREA) 的资助下，作者提供了四学分的本科研究课程，该课程交叉列出了老年学和社会学。该顶点课程旨在为学生提供机会：(1) 获得有关糖尿病和疾病管理中的种族/民族差异的知识；(2) 使用行为风险因素监测系统 (BRFSS) 数据集培养二次数据分析方面的专业知识。每个学生都设计并进行了自己的研究项目，并以团队形式制作了团队海报和演示文稿。作者检查了学生前测/后测问卷数据、基于标准的学生作业评估以及学期中和学期末的学生评估，以突出课程的三个不同方面：(1) 学生获得的技能，(2) 学生对课程的评估，以及 (3) 实施课程的成功和挑战。
With National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Aging (NIH/NIA) (R15/AREA) funding, the authors offered a four-credit hour undergraduate research course that was cross-listed in gerontology and sociology. This capstone course was aimed at providing students with the opportunity to (1) gain knowledge about diabetes and racial/ethnic disparities in the management of the illness and (2) develop expertise in secondary data analysis, using the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data set. Each student designed and conducted her or his own research project and, working in teams, created a team poster and presentation. The authors examine student pretest/posttest questionnaire data, rubric-based assessment of students' work, and mid- and end-of-the-semester student evaluations to highlight three distinct aspects of the course: (1) skills acquired by students, (2) students' evaluation of the course, and (3) successes and challenges of implementing the course.
