PEMBROKE STATE UNIVERSITY ?V Oil* WAWWH 1 PSU RECEIVES 1500,000 GRANT FROM NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH Pembroke State Univer sity has received a 1500,000 grant over a five-year period from the National Institute of Health to encourage its stu dents to enter research ca reers in the biomedical sci ences. PSU's top students in bio logy or chemistry will have the opportunity to apply for trainee expenses under the grant, which will pay them 1341 a month tax-free plus tuition and fees during a 24-month period they are involved in the program. Confirmation of the grant came from Edward Bynum, director of MARC (Minority Access to Research Careers). The plan is to select four students for the program this year: two seniors and two juniors. Thereafter, PSU will select six students for each of the next four years. In future instances, the students will be mostly sophomores and jun iors. Pembroke State was chosen because of its "history of commitment to minority stu dents," said Dr. David Max well, professor of biology who wrote the grant proposal. However, students of all races should apply immediately to Maxwell for consideration to enter the program, he said. "A student should have at least a 3.0 grade point aver age in biology or chemistry," said Maxwell. Whereas half of the grant will go for trainee expenses, etc., the remainder will be for equipment and resource ma terial for PSU plus faculty salaries, said Maxwell. "The equipment will be for both research and teaching," he noted. "There will also be funds for speakers and library resources." The ideal situation would be for a student.to spend the summer of his sophomore year in the specially designed curriculum which would pre pare him to enter the research program. During the summer of his junior year he would study at a research institution under a special arrangement between PSU and that school. "After graduation, these stu dents will be highly sought after by graduate schools." claimed Maxwell. "The benefits to our cam pus will be many," said Maxwell. "It will stimulate everyone, making us even more academic and challeng ing--and broadening our scope." He said Dr. Leon Rand, vice chancellor for aca demic affairs who helped to obtain the grant, is "very supportive and enthusiastic about the program." "It's the biggest grant we've received in our depart ment of study in my 17 years at Pembroke State," added Maxwell. 800 ATTEND WINSTON SALEM MEETING Each of the seven regions of North Carolina is showing a multi-media slide presenta tion about the services ren dered by the 16-campus UNC system, of which Pembroke State is one.
