An enriched research experience for minority undergraduates--a step toward increasing the number of minority nurse researchers.
This article describes a partnership between a research-intensive university and a historical minority-serving institution to create a year-long Research Enrichment and Apprenticeship Program for 9 undergraduate minority nursing students. The apprenticeship program provides undergraduate students an opportunity to directly experience nursing research and has the long-term goal of increasing the number of racial and ethnic minority researchers in nursing.
