Phase II: First-year follow-up (YFCY)
Final longitudinal sample included 5,049 students from 160 institutions.
Key Findings
Only 11.8 % of URMS report participating in a college level health science research program, 21.8 participated in academic enrichment programs, 19.6 participated in a professor's research
Students articulate values associated with scientific research careers but are not specific about these career intentions
Different support structures are available not only across institutions but within institutions, indicating where students get support has important implications for their success
