Delaware Consortium for Undergraduate Minority Training in Prostate Cancer
Abstract
Six academically qualified students 3 each from Delaware St. University (DSU) and Lincoln University were offered slots in the PCRP program. Five accepted: 3 from Lincoln and 2 from DSU. Students did 10-week research rotations in addition to attending research seminars and roundtable discussions on the basis of health disparities. This latter topic was not in the initial grant but was received favorably. Students presented research posters in a joint undergraduate research symposium at the end of the summer with almost 200 other students from several summer student research programs. In a poster session at Lincoln University our DoD students swept the prizes for biology I group competition. Students also took their posters to other national meetings. Graduating students from Lincoln University and Del. St. University are applying to Graduate Schools for post-baccalaureate education. One still intends to apply to Medical School. The PI Co-PI and a mentor (Cooper) gave prostate and health disparity lectures at Lincoln University and Delaware State University in 2006. This will continue in 2007. In addition outside speakers of prominence are being recruited to speak in the program.
