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. Our study tracks the educational pathways of over 1300 minority science students from 45 campuses across the United States. Of the participating students, half are funded through NIH training programs (primarily RISE, with a few MARC and SCORE students). The other half of the students serve as nonexperimental matched controls, drawn from comparable universities and with similar demographics and prior accomplishments. The aim of this study is to continue to track panel members across the next four years, as they move into graduate school and beyond. This will enable us to assess how the RISE program affects students' intention to pursue a scientific career, and also measure objective outcomes such as degrees attained, careers pursued, and scientific achievements. Additionally, we will look at what components of the RISE program (e.g., mentorship, research experience, financial assistance) contribute towards its effectiveness. Lastly, we will examine what types of psychological constructs, such as self-efficacy, scientific identity, values or goal-orientation, best predict and explain why program components work. Our research program will provide empirical data that can inform nationwide programs designed to encourage students from underrepresented ethnic groups to pursue careers in the sciences. Public Health Relevance Statement: African American, Hispanic/Latino, Native American, Native Alaskan and Pacific Islander students consistently are consistently not proceeding at the same rate as White or Asian students resulting in a chronic underrepresentation of minority students pursuing careers in the biological, behavioral, or physical sciences (National Center for Education Statistics, 2005; Cook & C¿rdova, 2006). Our quasi-experimental, longitudinal national study is designed to provide empirical data that can inform minority training programs (particularly the RISE program) about (a) what is working in the program, (b) for whom it works, and (c) why the program works.

描述（由适用提供）：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在科学中追随。尽管有宽泛的干预计划，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了货币支持，培训，研究经验，心理和研究生院的准备。我们的研究追踪了来自美国45个校园的1300多名少数族裔科学专业学生的教育途径。在参与的学生中，一半是通过NIH培训计划（主要是有MARC和得分学生）来资助的。其他一半的学生用作非实力匹配的对照，是由可比的大学以及类似的人口统计学和先前成就的。这项研究的目的是在进入研究生院及以后的过程中继续跟踪小组成员。这将使我们能够评估崛起计划如何影响学生追求科学职业的意图，并衡量获得的客观成果，例如获得的学位，职业人士追求和科学成就。此外，我们将研究RISE计划的哪些组成部分（例如，指导，研究经验，经济援助）有助于其有效性。最后，我们将研究哪些类型的心理结构，例如自我效能感，科学身份，价值观或面向目标，最好预测和解释程序组成部分。我们的研究计划将提供经验数据，这些数据可以告知全国计划，旨在鼓励来自代表性不足的族裔的学生来科学的追随者。 公共卫生相关性声明：非洲裔美国人，西班牙裔/拉丁裔，美洲原住民，阿拉斯加原住民和太平洋岛民的学生始终没有以与白人或亚洲学生相同的速度，导致少数族裔学生从事生物学，行为，行为或物理科学的职业的长期代表性不足（国家教育统计中心（国家教育统计中心，2005年国家中心，2005年，2005年）； cook＆coccomecomcome＆comcomecompova，2006年）。我们的准实验性，纵向国家研究旨在提供有关（a）为（a）该计划中有什么工作的少数群体培训计划（部分崛起计划）的经验数据，（b）为谁工作，以及（c）该计划为何工作。
