Description
The goal of NASA’s Space Life Sciences Training Program (SLSTP) is to attract the country’s brightest undergraduate students, and expose them to exciting research and career opportunities available in Space Life Science disciplines. A primary objective of the program is to influence the career paths of the students early in their education. SLSTP has been successfully meeting that objective since its inception in 1985. Eighty-five percent of the students in the SLSTP Class of ‘97 reported that the program has influenced their choice of career paths. SLSTP is sponsored by NASA Headquarters’ Life Sciences Division (Code UL) and Office of Equal Opportunity Programs (Code E). Kennedy Space Center (KSC) hosts the program, educating approximately 40 students each summer. KSC and Florida A&M University (FAMU) work as partners to implement SLSTP.
