The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has awarded the University of Texas at El Paso a federal grant of $100,000 per year for four years to support the university’s drug abuse and addiction summer research program. The Summer Mentoring & Research Training: Methods in Neuroscience of Drug Abuse, or SMART MIND program, is set to start May 14. The 11-week program will introduce eight undergraduate students – four from UTEP and four from other universities across the country – to participate in neuroscience research related to drug use. It will also involve two high school teacher-student teams for six to seven weeks every summer. For more information, contact smartmindREU@utep.edu
