Working with UT-Brownsville College of Health Sciences

Beginning in the Fall 2004, the UT Brownsville and Texas Southmost College (UTB/TSC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) embarked on a research opportunity for UTB undergraduate students and faculty through the MBRS Minority Biomedical Research Support Program. MBRS is a federal project to strengthen minority institutions research capabilities both for the students and the faculty. The overall goal is to enhance the competitiveness of the students in pursuit of graduate research opportunities upon graduating from UT Brownsville. UTHSC-H works with UT Brownsville in the overall evaluation of this NIH project.
