项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): For more than 30 years, there has been a nationwide effort to encourage students from underrepresented ethnic minorities to pursue careers in the sciences. Despite widespread intervention programs, there remains a significant under-representation of minority scientists engaged in biomedical and behavioral research in the United States. To date there have been few studies using appropriate matched samples to examine the effectiveness of such programs. A multidisciplinary research team from CSUSM is proposing a longitudinal, theory-driven, empirical evaluation of the NIH-sponsored Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE) program. RISE provides monetary support, training, research experience, mentoring, and graduate school preparation for minority college students in the biomedical sciences. A four-year quasi-experimental study is proposed to assess the overall impact of the RISE experience for both undergraduate and graduate students, and to link the benefits of the RISE program with specific elements of the program, and with changes in student motivation, identity, and self-efficacy to pursue a research career in the biomedical sciences. A sample of 450 students from 20 collaborating RISE campuses across the country will be matched with a sample of 450 non-RISE students, and each will be tracked for four years. Data will be collected twice per year from each participant via a customized web-based data collection and contact management and tracking program. In addition to answering questions about the overall impact of the program, the dataset will afford statistical tests to identify the types of students most likely to benefit from the RISE experience, as well as tests of the underlying mechanisms responsible for RISE outcomes (i.e., a test of the assumptions for what works in minority training programs). Findings from the study could potentially inform minority educational intervention programs at both the university and secondary school levels across the country.

描述（由申请人提供）：在30多年来，全国范围内一直努力鼓励来自代表性不足的少数民族的学生从事科学的职业。尽管有广泛的干预计划，但在美国从事生物医学和行为研究的少数族裔科学家的代表性不足。迄今为止，很少有研究使用适当的匹配样本来检查此类程序的有效性。 CSUSM的多学科研究团队正在提出对NIH赞助的科学增强研究计划（RISE）计划的纵向，理论驱动的经验评估。 Rise为生物医学科学的少数学院学生提供货币支持，培训，研究经验，指导和研究生院的准备。提出了一项四年的准实验研究，以评估本科生和研究生的崛起经验的总体影响，并将崛起计划的好处与该计划的特定要素联系起来，并随着学生的动机，认同和自我效能的变化，以从事生物医学科学领域的研究职业。来自全国20个合作校园的450名学生的样本将与450名非老板学生的样本相匹配，每个学生将进行四年的跟踪。数据将通过基于自定义的基于Web的数据收集以及联系人管理和跟踪程序从每个参与者那里收集两次。除了回答有关该计划的整体影响的问题外，数据集还将提供统计测试，以确定最有可能受益的学生的类型，以及对负责成果结果的基本机制的测试（即对少数群体培训计划中有效的假设进行测试）。该研究的发现可能会为全国大学和中学级别的少数民族教育干预计划提供依据。
