Collaborative Undergraduate HBCU Student Summer Training Program Award

Abstract

The HBCU Summer Research Training Program accepted a total of 17 students from Lincoln University for the eight week session during the summers of 2010, 2011, and 2012. 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 Conferences. 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. Of the students that have graduated from Lincoln, approximately 72.4% are attending postgraduate programs.
