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（由申请人提供）：30多年来，全国范围内一直在努力鼓励代表性不足的少数族裔学生从事科学事业，尽管干预计划广泛，但从事科学领域的少数族裔科学家的代表性仍然严重不足。迄今为止，美国的生物医学和行为研究很少使用适当的匹配样本来检验此类计划的有效性，CSUSM 的一个多学科研究小组正在提议对这些计划进行纵向、理论驱动的实证评估。 NIH 资助的科学增强研究计划 (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。我们的研究跟踪了 1300 多名少数族裔理科学生的教育途径。来自美国 45 个校园的参与学生中，一半是通过 NIH 培训项目资助的（主要是 RISE，还有一些 MARC 和 SCORE 学生），另一半学生作为非实验性匹配对照。这项研究的目的是在未来四年内继续跟踪小组成员，包括他们进入研究生院及以后的学习，这将使我们能够评估 RISE 计划的影响。此外，我们还将研究 RISE 计划的哪些组成部分（例如指导、研究经验、经济援助）对其有何贡献。最后，我们将检查有效性。哪些类型的心理结构，例如自我效能、科学认同、价值观或目标导向，可以最好地预测和解释项目组成部分为何有效。我们的研究项目将提供经验数据，为旨在鼓励少数族裔学生的项目提供信息。追求科学事业的团体。 公共卫生相关性声明：非裔美国人、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学生的学习进度始终不如白人或亚裔学生，导致追求生物、行为等方面的少数族裔学生的代表性长期不足。 ，或物理科学（国家教育统计中心，2005 年；Cook & C¿rdova，2006 年）。我们的准实验性纵向国家研究旨在提供可为少数族裔培训计划提供信息的经验数据。 （特别是 RISE 计划）关于 (a) 该计划的作用是什么，(b) 它对谁有效，以及 (c) 该计划为何有效。
