Minority Student Enhancement
Program (M.S.E.P.)
The Minority Student
Enhancement Program (MSEP) is part of an initiative to address and enhance
the research and professional rehabilitation skills of African-American
students and faculty from Historically Black Colleges and Universities
(HBCU).
MSEP provides minority students and faculty at local HBCUs with training
and experience in disability issues, rehabilitation, and substance abuse
research. The effort to enhance research and rehabilitation experiences
for minority students and faculty has evolved from long-standing collaborative
efforts between Central State, Wilberforce, and Wright State Universities.
Essential to this effort are the unique and distinguished histories of
Central State University and Wilberforce University, both of which have
demonstrated an exemplary commitment to higher education opportunities
for African-Americans.
The MSEP initiative is designed to expose students and faculty to rigorous
rehabilitation research environments; to enhance specific areas of knowledge
and skill development focusing on disability, rehabilitation, and substance
abuse; and to foster and augment professional writing skills, which will
permit students and faculty to become more successful professionals,
clinicians, and grant applicants.

Short-Term Training Program to Increase Diversity in Health-Related Research (STREAMS)
The SARDI Program recently finished its first year of participation in Wright
State University's STREAMS Program. STREAMS is designed to encourage members of under-represented minority groups and students with disabilities to choose careers in cardiovascular-related research. The SARDI Program joined in the endeavor by hosting a WSU undergraduate
student for the duration of the summer. Guided by faculty, the student completed
an independent study related to "the changing age of HIV: sexual risk among
older African American women living in rural communities."
