The Minority Biomedical Research Support Program is based at Shiprock Campus. The objective of the D'C-MBRS Program is to attract students into the biomedical sciences and provide them with a sound education in biomedical research methods.
Undergraduate students receive work experience in on-going scientific research projects.
They learn about significant health problems on the Navajo Nation and work alongside faculty researchers who study such problems as diabetes treatment, cardiovascular health, water quality from local area springs and wells, and the relationship between uranium mining and public health.
