The Diversity in Cancer Research Guppy Tank is an innovative and dynamic session designed to support the development of cancer research at Howard University. Inspired by the well-known "Shark Tank" model, which fosters product commercialization, we have tailored this approach to empower our Diversity in Cancer Research early career faculty and student researchers. During this session, researchers will present their research proposals to an audience, receiving valuable constructive feedback and strategic guidance. This interactive platform aims to refine research ideas, strengthen methodologies, and enhance the overall impact of each project.:
