Prostate Cancer Research Training Program
Abstract
The HBCU Summer Research Training Program accepted a total of 8 students from Lincoln University for each of the eight week sessions during the summers of 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we did not have a program in 2020, but had one Lincoln student the summer of 2021. Each student was assigned to a laboratory of a participating mentor and also paired with a member of the mentor's laboratory. This laboratory member assisted with day to day aspects of the research project. During the summer the students worked diligently on their research project, participated in meetings of the mentor's laboratory, attended workshops and seminars associated with our and other summer programs, and attended a special course in prostate cancer. We integrated the Lincoln students into social programs held throughout the campus for summer interns. At the end of the summer sessions the students presented a poster and gave an talk on the research results from the summer experience. They also presented the results of their research in the fall at Lincoln University. Of the students that have graduated from Lincoln, 62.5 percent are attending, or have attended, postgraduate programs. Eleven of them attended graduate programs at the University of Iowa; three of them are currently in PhD programs.
