Abstract

The BUilding Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD) undergraduate research training program is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to strengthen the pipeline for underrepresented students through graduate school and into health-related research careers in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. This study evaluates the impact of BUILD participation at a Minority-Serving Institution in Southern California on graduate school outcomes up to 6 years post-graduation including doctoral program enrollment and degree attainment using a quasi-experimental design. BUILD students were compared to a propensity score matched non-BUILD group using logistic regression. Results showed BUILD students enrolled in Ph.D. programs and attained Ph.Ds. at a higher rate compared to matched peers. Findings indicate BUILD met a pivotal program objective to increase doctoral degree attainment imperative for health-related research careers in biomedical and behavioral sciences. Furthermore, results support the added value of undergraduate research programs for students from underrepresented backgrounds.

在生物医学和行为科学中建立与健康相关的研究职业道路:使用匹配的对照组对学士学位后结果的纵向评估。
建设基础设施导致多样性(BUILD)本科研究培训计划由美国国立卫生研究院(NIH)资助,旨在加强代表性不足的学生通过研究生院和进入生物医学和行为科学领域与健康相关的研究职业的管道。本研究采用准实验设计评估南加州少数族裔服务机构的BUILD参与对毕业后6年的研究生学业成果的影响,包括博士课程入学和学位获得。使用逻辑回归将BUILD学生与倾向分数匹配的非BUILD组进行比较。结果显示,我校学生考入博士课程并取得博士学位。与同类相比,这一比率更高。研究结果表明,BUILD满足了一个关键的项目目标,即提高生物医学和行为科学中与健康相关的研究职业的博士学位获得率。此外,研究结果支持本科研究项目对来自代表性不足背景的学生的附加价值。
