Note:
This is a renewal application of the SMART MIND (Summer Mentoring and Research in Transdisciplinary Methodologies in the Neuroscience of Drug-Abuse) Program conducted at the University of Texas at El Paso(UTEP). Over the past 10 years of funding, we have provided an intensive training experience for 79 undergraduates, 18 high school teachers, and 8 high school students from underrepresented groups in science. Our overarching goal is to provide quality and effective summer research experiences for diverse trainees to increase knowledge and skills in substance use disorders (SUDs). The program will utilize a transdisciplinary approach, involving training from a 13-member Interdisciplinary research Faculty Team (IFT) on state-of-the-art behavioral and molecular bench science, community-based and health disparities research to address the multifaceted impact of SUDs on the brain and behavior.
