Patterns of authors contribution in scientific manuscripts.

Corrêa EA, Silva FN, da F. Costa L, Amancio DR.
UIID-AD: 4144
2017;498-510. doi: 10.1016/j.joi.2017.03.003.

Science is becoming increasingly more interdisciplinary, giving rise to more diversity in the areas of expertise. In such a complex environment, the participation of authors became more specialized, hampering the task of evaluating authors according to their contributions. While...

Pressurizing the STEM Pipeline: an Expectancy-Value Theory Analysis of Youths’ STEM Attitudes.

Cotten SR, Ball C, Huang KT, Rikard RV.
UIID-AD: 4111
2017;1-11. doi: 10.1007/s10956-017-9685-1.

Over the past decade, there has been a strong national push to increase minority students’ positive attitudes towards STEM-related careers. However, despite this focus, minority students have remained underrepresented in these fields. Some researchers have directed their attention towards...

Promoting professional identity, motivation, and persistence: Benefits of an informal mentoring program for female undergraduate students.

Hernandez PR, Adams AS, Bloodhart B, Barnes RT, Clinton SM, Pollack I, Godfrey E, Burt M, Fischer EV.
UIID-AD: 4817
2017; doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0187531.

Women are underrepresented in a number of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Limited diversity in the development of the STEM workforce has negative implications for scientific innovation, creativity, and social relevance. The current study reports the first-year...

Promoting STEM education in community college students via research.

Crawford CA, Nichol CA, Obenland C, Chow A, Avendano C.
UIID-AD: 4848
2017;

The REU (research experience for undergraduates) can be a formative and beneficial experience for students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) majors. These programs most often select the top undergraduate students to perform research at prestigious universities. The...

Providing Social Support for Underrepresented Racial and Ethnic Minority PhD Students in the Biomedical Sciences: A Career Coaching Model.

McGee R, Thakore BK, Williams SN.
UIID-AD: 4583
2017; doi: 10.1187/cbe.17-01-0021.

Improvement in the proportion of underrepresented racial and ethnic minorities (URMs) in academic positions has been unsatisfactory. Although this is a complex problem, one key issue is that graduate students often rely on research mentors for career-related support, the...

Recruitment, Promotion, and Retention of Women in Academic Medicine: How Institutions Are Addressing Gender Disparities.

Carr PL, Raj A, Freund KM, Gunn C, Kaplan S.
UIID-AD: 4355
2017; doi: 10.1016/j.whi.2016.11.003.

OBJECTIVE: Greater numbers of women in medicine have not resulted in more women achieving senior positions. Programs supporting the recruitment, promotion, and retention of women in academic medicine could help to achieve greater advancement of more women to leadership...

Reflective Writing About the Utility Value of Science as a Tool for Increasing STEM Motivation and Retention - Can AI Help Scale Up?.

Harackiewicz JM, Priniski SJ, Klebanov BB, Burstein J, Mulholland M.
UIID-AD: 4616
2017;791-818. doi: 10.1007/s40593-017-0141-4.

The integration of subject matter learning with reading and writing skills takes place in multiple ways. Students learn to read, interpret, and write texts in the discipline-relevant genres. However, writing can be used not only for the purposes of...

Research experience for undergraduates: Integrated optics for undergraduate Native Americans (IOU-NA).

Huff-Lohmeier AJ, Hennig AJ, Lamoreaux D.
UIID-AD: 4824
2017;

The National Science Foundation (NSF) funded Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program, entitled Integrated Optics for Undergraduate Native Americans (IOU-NA) (#EEC-1359163), is a multidisciplinary REU in the Center for Integrated Access Networks (CIAN), an NSF funded Engineering Research Center...

Research microcultures as socialization contexts for underrepresented science students.

Smith JessiL, Thoman DustinB, Muragishi GreggA.
UIID-AD: 4544
2017;760-773. doi: 10.1177/0956797617694865.

How much does scientific research potentially help people? We tested whether prosocial-affordance beliefs (PABs) about science spread among group members and contribute to individual students' motivation for science. We tested this question within the context of research experience for...

Teacher and principal diversity and the representation of students of color in gifted programs: Evidence from national data.

Grissom JA, Rodriguez LA, Kern EC.
UIID-AD: 4195
2017;396-422.

Students of color are significantly underrepresented in gifted programs relative to their White peers. Drawing on political science research suggesting that public organizations more equitably distribute policy outputs when service providers share characteristics with their client populations, we investigate...

The Effect of an Out-of-School Enrichment Program on the Academic Achievement of High-Potential Students from Low-Income Families.

Hodges Jaret, McIntosh Jason, Gentry Marcia.
UIID-AD: 4723
2017;204-224.

High-potential students from low-income families are at an academic disadvantage compared with their more affluent peers. To address this issue, researchers have suggested novel approaches to mitigate gaps in student performance, including out-of-school enrichment programs. Longitudinal mixed effects modeling...

The role of mentorship in a remote sensing research program for undergraduate minority students.

Liou-Mark J, Yuen-Lau L, Blake R, Norouzi H, Prakash S.
