Undergraduate and Graduate students from the nursing school and other schools and disciplines may work with the center through an Applications of Research course offered at The UTHSCSA SON or through case by case partnerships with other universities such as The University of Texas at San Antonio. Other existing external educational enhancement opportunities that students may apply for that support center work include the National Research Service Award, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration Fellowship Program, and the Minority Supplement Program.
