The Minority Biomedical Research Support Program, funded by the National Institutes of Health, provides opportunities for Hispanic, American Indian and African-American students to gain scientific research experience while earning bachelor's degrees and preparing for advanced studies. Under the guidance of NMSU faculty members, the students involved in MBRS conduct independent research in the areas of animal science, biology, chemistry, microbiology, molecular biology and plant sciences.
Students present their research at professional scientific conventions.
The objective of the MBRS program is to increase the number of minority graduates who pursue careers in biomedical research. The program offers students paid apprenticeships to work up to 20 hours per week during the academic year and full-time during the summer. The MBRS Program supports graduate students as well as undergraduates. Go back to University Communications Homepage.
