How undergraduates historically underrepresented in biomedical sciences value multiple components of a research training program.

ABSTRACT: To promote diversity in the STEM workforce, undergraduate research training programs incorporating a variety of intervention strategies have been developed to support students from historically underrepresented backgrounds in overcoming numerous systemic barriers to pursuing careers in science. However, relatively little research has focused on how students experience and value these interventions and the ways in which the interventions support student success. The current study analyzed qualitative interviews from participants (n=15) in a comprehensive research training program for undergraduates historically underrepresented in biomedical research to investigate the student perspective on how specific program components address barriers and support their research training, academic progr
