A newly funded study at the University of Oklahoma aims to increase prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening among Black men in Oklahoma, who die from prostate cancer at rates two to four times higher than other racial groups. An interactive app called Connect2Care may hold the key to early detection, which is crucial for improving survival.
The U.S. National Science Foundation has awarded OU with a roughly $2 million grant to provide scholarships for undergraduate students pursuing engineering degrees. The program is expected to support cohorts of students beginning in fall 2027.
