Minority Undergraduate Research in Prostate Cancer: Bridging Opportunities for Post-Baccalaureate Education
Abstract
Five students (2 DSU) and (3 Lincoln U) qualified and were placed into our training program. All students wrote research proposal for the upcoming summer work experience. All students attended the 10 week enrichment program including specialized health disparity round table discussion designed for the HBCU students enrolled in our program. This year faculty from sociology joined our discussions and provided valuable new insight and opportunities for new prostate cancer research at UD. Two of our five students were selected to present their research at regional and national meetings where one student received a second place award. All 5 students were required to generate posters from the data acquired during their 10 weeks of research. These posters were presented at the annual Undergraduate research day at UD that now attracts over 500 participants from UD, Wesley, Lincoln, and DSU and includes the HHMI, INBRE, EPSCOR and DOD students. This is held in a format that feels like a national conference and students have 1 our presentation times followed by scheduled speakers of national reputation.
