LOS ANGELES - Dec. 17, 2018 - Californer -- Cal State LA has been awarded a five-year, $500,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to provide biomedical and behavioral sciences research opportunities to undergraduates.
The grant, from the NIH's Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, will establish the Summer Program of Research Opportunities for Undergraduate Training (SPROUT) at Cal State LA to offer firsthand research experience to students, along with a paid stipend for the summer.
"We are super excited to receive this funding because it will allow promising students the opportunity to focus their efforts on research," said Ray de Leon, who is one of the grant's principal investigators and director of the School of Kinesiology and Nutritional Science at Cal State LA. "We know our students want to do research, but a lot of them can't because they have jobs or other commitments."
Coordinated by de Leon and co-principal investigator Kimberly Morland, SPROUT will be housed in the university's Rongxiang Xu College of Health and Human Services.

Through a 15-week summer intensive training program, undergraduate students will gain expertise and develop research skills in behavioral and biomedical sciences, including the areas of rehabilitation and child development.
Participants will learn about graduate programs and careers in research. They will also attend workshops on scientific writing, analytical techniques, data management and data presentation. SPROUT scholars will work with professors engaged in a wide range of research.
"One SPROUT scholar may be doing research focused on helping toddlers with language disorders, while another may be researching health disparities in immigrant populations," de Leon said. "Others may be using biological assays to study exercise in humans or animal models of spinal cord injury."
For more information on the summer program or its application process, please go to the Cal State LA SPROUT's webpage (http://www.calstatela.edu/hhs/kns/sprout).
