摘要

The underrepresentation of African American, Hispanic, and Native American students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields is well documented. In response, educators and policymakers have designed programs and initiatives to enlarge the pipeline of underrepresented minorities (URMs) in the sciences. One such program funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences' (NIGMS) is Minority Opportunities in Research (MORE). MORE programs can be characterized as research and student development opportunities offered to URMs to promote participation in and the pursuit of biomedical research and graduate studies, namely the attainment of doctoral degrees. Through the quantitative analysis of the MORE R.E.S.U.L.T.S. database and program literature, this dissertation investigates the effectiveness of MORE programs at California State University Los Angeles, New Mexico State University, and San Francisco State University. The categories of data gleaned from the study include the following: (a) a description of the characteristics of participating students, (b) an assessment of student perceptions/quality ratings of intervention program components, and (c) identification of predictors of achievement/educational attainment/persistence.
