Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of survey data to examine the association between supervised structured mentoring and students’ intent to pursue a career in science. Data were collected from students in the 10 Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD) research training programs, developed through grants from the National Institutes of Health. Propensity score matching and multinomial logistic regression demonstrated that exposure to BUILD programs—meaning participation in undergraduate research, receipt of mentoring from a primary mentor, and/or participation as a funded scholar and/or associate of each BUILD site’s training program—was associated with increased intent to pursue a science career. These findings have implications for STEM program evaluation and practice in higher education.

调查参与导致多样性的基础设施建设（BUILD）倡议与追求科学事业的意图之间的关系：横断面分析。

本文对调查数据进行了分析，以检验有监督的结构化辅导与学生追求科学职业的意愿之间的关系。数据是从美国国立卫生研究院资助的10个基础设施建设促进多样性（BUILD）研究培训项目的学生那里收集的。倾向得分匹配和多项逻辑回归表明，接触BUILD项目，即参与本科生研究、接受主要导师的指导和/或作为资助学者和/或合伙人参与每个BUILD站点的培训项目，与追求科学职业的意愿增加有关。这些发现对STEM项目的评估和高等教育实践具有启示意义。

期刊介绍： Evaluation and Program Planning is based on the principle that the techniques and methods of evaluation and planning transcend the boundaries of specific fields and that relevant contributions to these areas come from people representing many different positions, intellectual traditions, and interests. In order to further the development of evaluation and planning, we publish articles from the private and public sectors in a wide range of areas: organizational development and behavior, training, planning, human resource development, health and mental, social services, mental retardation, corrections, substance abuse, and education.
