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.
