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）：30 多年来，全国范围内一直在努力鼓励少数族裔学生从事科学事业。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仍然严重不足。迄今为止，很少有研究使用适当的匹配样本来检验此类计划的有效性。 CSUSM 的一个多学科研究团队正在提议对 NIH 资助的科学增强研究计划 (RISE) 项目进行纵向、理论驱动的实证评估。 RISE 为生物医学领域的少数族裔大学生提供资金支持、培训、研究经验、指导和研究生入学准备。建议进行一项为期四年的准实验研究，以评估 RISE 体验对本科生和研究生的总体影响，并将 RISE 项目的好处与该项目的具体要素以及学生动机、身份的变化联系起来，以及在生物医学领域从事研究事业的自我效能感。来自全国 20 个 RISE 合作校区的 450 名学生样本将与 450 名非 RISE 学生样本进行匹配，每个样本都将被跟踪四年。每年将通过定制的基于网络的数据收集以及联系人管理和跟踪程序从每个参与者收集两次数据。除了回答有关该计划总体影响的问题外，该数据集还将提供统计测试，以确定最有可能从 RISE 体验中受益的学生类型，以及对负责 RISE 结果的基本机制（即，测试少数族裔培训计划中有效的假设）。该研究的结果可能会为全国大学和中学层面的少数族裔教育干预计划提供信息。
