MBRS PROGRAM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN COLORADO

南科罗拉多大学的一个长期目标是扩大其 研究，从而增加学生接受培训的机会和 追求健康科学领域的职业。因为我们的构成 学生团体，这一目标特别针对增加 少数族裔个人的参与。拟议中的计划有其 目标：(一)增加少数民族本科生 选择健康科学学科的专业；(2)鼓励， 招募和留住这些学科的本科生，让他们参与进来 积极开展研究项目；(3)增加少数民族人数 这些领域的毕业生，以帮助提供更多的研究人员 拥有生物医学研究方面的高级学位。要实现这些目标 目标，建议大约15个少数民族 本科生将被招募为六项研究的学徒 项目。这些项目在设计和设计上都足够多样化 学科为有兴趣的人提供各种培训机会 学生们。研究培训的范围从基础实验室到 包括铜在血红蛋白生物合成中的作用的项目，研究 吗啡耐受与巴甫洛夫条件反射及其相关研究 肥胖和感官因素，到应用药物，心脏起搏在 社区医院设置与半球时间信息轨迹 精神分裂症，到一个社区文化医学教育项目， 调查西班牙裔糖尿病患者的知识遵从率 病人。作为实验室能力和技术技能的证明 变得明显，学生将被鼓励承担研究 将提供个人投入的责任。一位校长 多学科计划的努力将是帮助少数民族 学生变得更了解机械和机会 生物医学研究活动。该计划的另一个优势是 由专门为参与者提供的月度研讨会提供 学生，但也是一个有用的招聘工具，将包括主题 与该计划相关。该计划的成功将通过以下方式来表示 参与者的热情、出版物和学生的数量 随后攻读研究生学位。

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.
