With NSF support, Delaware State University will establish a program in molecular and cellular neuroscience, strengthening the research and research-training infrastructure at Delaware State University. The neuroscience MS program will: (1) build the academic and research skills of recent graduates who are interested in pursuing an advanced degree; (2) foster interest in pursuing a Ph.D. by involving graduate and undergraduate students in research experiences; (3) create a graduate education partnership between DSU and the Neuroscience Ph.D. program at Drexel University that will strengthen both undergraduate and graduate programs at DSU; (4) improve the preparation of biology undergraduates by increasing the number and variety of advanced courses available to them, and (5) increase the research and research training opportunities of Delaware residents by developing the first neuroscience degree program in the state. The project includes faculty start-up support, summer salaries, stipends and travel allowances. The partnership between DSU and Drexel could serve as a national model for similar collaborative efforts that result in M.S./PhD. programs.The intellectual merit of this project lies in its contribution to the knowledge base in molecular and cellular neuroscience. The broader impact of this project lies in the expanded research opportunities for students including underrepresented minority students and expected increases in the number of minority students who successfully pursue advanced degrees and research careers in STEM disciplines.

在NSF的支持下，特拉华州立大学将建立一个分子和细胞神经科学项目，加强特拉华州立大学的研究和研究培训基础设施。神经科学硕士项目将：(1)培养有兴趣攻读高级学位的应届毕业生的学术和研究技能；(2)通过让研究生和本科生参与研究经验，培养他们攻读博士学位的兴趣；(3)在密歇根州立大学和德雷克塞尔大学的神经科学博士项目之间建立研究生教育合作伙伴关系，这将加强密歇根州立大学的本科生和研究生课程；(4)通过增加生物学本科生可供选择的高级课程的数量和种类，改善他们的准备工作；以及(5)通过开发该州首个神经科学学位课程，增加特拉华州住院医生的研究和研究培训机会。该项目包括教师创业支持、夏季工资、津贴和旅行津贴。苏黎世州立大学和德雷克塞尔大学之间的伙伴关系可以作为类似合作努力的全国典范，从而产生理科硕士/博士学位。这个项目的学术价值在于它对分子和细胞神经科学的知识库做出了贡献。这一项目的更广泛影响在于扩大了学生的研究机会，包括未被充分代表的少数族裔学生，预计成功攻读STEM学科高级学位和研究事业的少数族裔学生人数将会增加。
