The Florida Prostate Cancer Research Training Opportunities for Outstanding Leaders (ReTOOL) Program: Creating Opportunities for Minority HBCU Students
Abstract
This research training program proposes to create opportunities and promote prostate cancer (CaP) research careers for minority HBCU students through the Florida Prostate Cancer Research Training Opportunities for Outstanding Leaders (ReTOOL) Program. Within this reporting period, 13 minority students applied to participate in the ReTOOL program and five students were accepted in 2013. The students participated in didactic and experiential CaP research training from May 10 August 3, 2013 within the scientific environment of the University of Florida (UF) Health Cancer Center. The training program ended on August 2nd with the ReTOOL Annual Research Showcase, which included poster and oral presentations by the ReTOOL students. The scientific achievements for this reporting period included: presentations, publications in press, extramural grant submissions based on the ReTOOL program and award. A total of 10 students have participated in the program. Currently, we are interviewing to bring back one more student for the 2014 research training program.
