SELECT National Participant Advisory Board (NPAB)

The SELECT National Participant Advisory Board (NPAB) is made up of 10 men from a variety of study sites in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico who participate in SELECT. This Board was activated in July 2003. These 10 participants were chosen to be a member of the NPAB because of their support and dedication to the prevention of prostate cancer and for their individual business and personal backgrounds.

In October 2009, the NPAB was gathered for the last time as a Board at the SELECT Workshop in Chicago. The staff and leadership thanked them for their many years of assistance and contributions to SELECT and they were honored with Certificates of Appreciation and a plaque.
