Prostate Cancer Research Training Program

Abstract

The HBCU Summer Research Training Program accepted a total of 10 students from Lincoln University for the eight week session during the summer of 2010. Three of the students were supported by this grant, five of the students were supported by the second grant awarded in 2007, and 2 were supported by a no-cost extension of a previous grant award.. 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 and they attended and participated in the CIC Conference at Ohio State University. At the end of the summer sessions the students presented a poster of the research results from the summer experience. They also presented the results of their research in the fall at Lincoln University. All of the students are continuing their undergraduate education at Lincoln University.
