The Partnership Research Summer Training Program (PRSTP) is an NIH-funded cancer research immersion program. The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) invites honors-level undergraduate and or graduate students currently enrolled in masters programs from historically black colleges/universities (HBCUs), minority-serving institutions (MSIs), and UAB students majoring in a scientific discipline with interest in cancer medicine, basic cancer research, health disparities, or similar, to participate in PRSTP, which takes place in June and July 2024. The overall goal of the PRSTP is to encourage interest, and facilitate student training in laboratory-based or translational cancer research. Through attendance and participation in designated seminars, research students will be able to enhance their knowledge, scientific techniques, and expertise in cancer and cancer research. Participants in these programs will become stronger candidates for cancer-related Master’s, and PhD programs as well as medical school. We encourage interested and qualified undergraduate or Master’s students of all majors to apply. All students are required to submit an application form, essay, undergraduate and/or Master’s transcripts, and two reference letters.
