Modifying Summer Undergraduate Research Programs during COVID-19 Increased Graduate School Intentions but Exacerbated Anxieties
Open accessAbstract
Data collected from U.S. undergraduate researchers in STEM during Summer 2020 is used to examine how summer undergraduate research experience (SURE) 2020 program cancellations affected student well-being in specific domains. Students whose SUREs were canceled had reduced anxiety but greater concerns about graduate school matriculation than those in modified SUREs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
