A long range goal of the University of Southern Colorado is to expand its research and thus increase the opportunities for students to train in and pursue careers in health science fields. Because of the composition of our student body, this goal is particularly directed toward increased involvement of minority individuals. The proposed program has as its objectives: (1) to increase the number of ethnic-minority undergraduates who elect majors in the health science disciplines; (2) to encourage, recruit, and retain undergraduates in these disciplines by involving them in active research programs; (3) to increase the numbers of ethnic minority graduates in these areas so as to help provide a larger pool of researchers having advanced degrees in biomedical research. To accomplish these objectives, it is proposed that approximately fifteen minority undergraduates be recruited to work as apprentices on six research projects. The projects are sufficiently diversified in design and discipline to offer a variety of training opportunities to interested students. The areas of research training range from basic laboratory projects including the role of copper in hemoprotein biosynthesis, studies relating morphine tolerance and Pavlovian conditioning and studies relating obesity and sensory factors, to applied medicine, cardiac pacing in a community hospital setting and hemispheric locus of time-information in schizophrenia, to a community project in cultural medical-education which investigates the knowledge-compliance rates among Hispanic diabetic patients. As evidence of competence in laboratory and technical skills becomes apparent, students will be encouraged to assume research responsibilities which will provide for individual input. A principal effort of the multidiscipline-program will be to help ethnic-minority students become knowledgeable in the mechanics and opportunities of biomedical research activities. A further advantage of the program will be provided by a monthly seminar, offered specifically for participating students but also useful as a recruiting tool, which will include topics relevant to the program. Success of the program will be indicated by participant enthusiasm, publications, and by the number of students who subsequently pursue graduate degrees.

南科罗拉多大学的长期目标是扩大其 研究，从而增加学生接受培训和培训的机会 追求健康科学领域的职业。 因为我们的组成 学生团体，这个目标特别针对增加 少数民族个人的参与。 拟议的计划已作为其 目标：（1）增加少数民族本科生数量 谁选择健康科学学科专业； (2) 鼓励， 通过让他们参与来招募和留住这些学科的本科生 正在进行的研究项目； （三）增加少数民族人口 这些领域的毕业生，以帮助提供更多的研究人员 拥有生物医学研究高级学位。 为了完成这些 目标，建议大约十五个少数族裔 招募本科生作为六项研究的学徒 项目。 这些项目在设计和设计方面足够多样化 为感兴趣的学科提供各种培训机会 学生。 研究培训的领域包括基础实验室 项目包括铜在血红素生物合成中的作用、研究 吗啡耐受性和巴甫洛夫条件反射以及相关研究 肥胖和感觉因素，应用医学，心脏起搏 社区医院环境和时间信息的半球轨迹 精神分裂症，一个文化医学教育社区项目 调查西班牙裔糖尿病患者的知识依从率 患者。 作为实验室和技术技能能力的证据 变得显而易见，将鼓励学生进行研究 提供个人投入的职责。 一位校长 多学科计划的努力将是帮助少数民族 学生变得了解机械和机会 生物医学研究活动。 该计划的另一个优点是 由每月一次的研讨会提供，专门为参加者提供 学生，但也可用作招聘工具，其中包括主题 与程序相关。 该计划的成功将通过以下方式表明 参与者的热情、出版物以及学生数量 随后攻读研究生学位。
