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.

南科罗拉多大学的一个长期目标是扩大其 研究，从而增加学生的机会， 从事健康科学领域的职业。 由于我们的组成 学生团体，这一目标是特别针对增加 少数民族的参与。 该计划作为其 目标：（1）增加少数民族大学生的数量 卫生科学学科专业的选择;（2）鼓励， 招募并留住这些学科的本科生， （3）增加少数民族的数量; 这些领域的毕业生，以帮助提供更多的研究人员 拥有生物医学研究的高级学位。 完成这些 目标，建议大约15个少数民族 招收本科生作为学徒从事六项研究 项目 这些项目在设计上充分多样化， 学科提供各种培训机会感兴趣的 学生 研究培训的领域从基础实验室 项目包括铜在血红素蛋白生物合成中的作用，研究 与吗啡耐受性和巴甫洛夫条件反射有关的研究 肥胖和感觉因素，应用医学，心脏起搏， 社区医院设置和大脑半球的时间信息轨迹 精神分裂症，一个社区项目，在文化医学教育， 调查西班牙裔糖尿病患者的知识依从率 患者 作为实验室能力和技术技能的证据 变得明显，学生将被鼓励承担研究 将提供个人输入的责任。 一个主要 多学科项目的努力将是帮助少数民族 学生变得在力学和机会的知识， 生物医学研究活动。 该计划的另一个优势是 每月举办一次研讨会，专门为参加 学生，但也作为一个有用的招聘工具，其中将包括主题 与节目有关。 该计划的成功将通过以下方式表示： 参与者的热情，出版物，以及学生的数量， 随后攻读研究生学位。
