North Carolina A&T State University hosted a four-week Research Apprenticeship Program (RAP) for current or rising high school juniors and seniors during summer 2013. The main objective of this program is to provide first-hand experience in several research projects. This year a total of five students participated in the food microbiology and safety laboratory at North Carolina A &T State University, and conducted the following projects.  The students also participated in food safety exercises developed by NCA&T for high school students.
1.    Impact of gums on the growth of Lactobacillus strains – Naim Rutledge
2.    The Growth of Lactic Acid Bacteria in a Sweet Potato base Medium-Devin Mack
3.    Interaction between Bifidobacteria Strains and Medical Drugs- Jade Steele
4.    Effects of Origanox and Sodium Lactate on the Fate and Survival of E. coli O157:H7 and Sensory Characteristics of Cig Kofte-Derrick Cotton
