Underrepresented Minority High School and College Students Report STEM-Pipeline Sustaining Gains After Participating in the Loma Linda University Summer Health Disparities Research Program
Open accessAbstract
An urgent need exists for graduate and professional schools to establish evidence-based STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) pipeline programs to increase the diversity of the biomedical workforce. An untapped yet promising pool of willing participants are capable high school students that have a strong STEM interest but may lack the skills and the guided mentoring needed to succeed in competitive STEM fields. This study evaluates and compares the impact of the Loma Linda University (LLU) Summer Health Disparities Research Program on high school (HS) and undergraduate (UG) student participants. The primary focus of our summer research experience (SRE) is to enhance the research self-efficacy of the participants by actively involving them in a research project and by providing the students with personalized mentoring and targeted career development activities, including education on health disparities. The results of our study show that our SRE influenced terminal degree intent and increased participant willingness to incorporate research into future careers for both the HS and the UG groups. The quantitative data shows that both the HS and the UG participants reported large, statistically significant gains in self-assessed research skills and research self-efficacy. Both participant groups identified the hands-on research and the mentor experience as the most valuable aspects of our SRE and reported increased science skills, increased confidence in science ability and increased motivation and affirmation to pursue a science career. The follow-up data indicates that 67% of the HS participants and 90% of the UG participants graduated from college with a STEM degree; for those who enrolled in graduate education, 61% and 43% enrolled in LLU, respectively. We conclude that structured SREs can be highly effective STEM strengthening interventions for both UG and HS students and may be a way to measurably increase institutional and biomedical workforce diversity.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
In a retrospective evaluation of the Loma Linda University Summer Health Disparities Research Program, high school (ABC) and undergraduate (UTP) underrepresented minority participants reported significant gains in research skills and research self-efficacy and increased intent to incorporate research into future careers. Follow-up data showed 67% of ABC and 90% of UTP college graduates earned STEM degrees, with many enrolling in graduate education.
Key findings
- Both groups reported large gains in research self-efficacy (ABC η²=0.33; UTP η²=0.49) and research skills, with the greatest gains in “conducting research” (ABC η²=0.42; UTP η²=0.47) and “scientific writing” (ABC η²=0.45; UTP η²=0.44).
- Intent to incorporate research into future careers rose from 23% to 87% for ABC and from 47% to 92% for UTP; combined, it rose from 33% to 89% (p<0.001). In the combined paired sample, terminal degree intent shifted from MD (55% pre) to MD/PhD (44% post).
- Follow-up showed 67% of ABC and 90% of UTP college graduates earned STEM degrees; among those enrolled in graduate education, 61% of ABC and 43% of UTP enrolled at LLU, and combined 47% enrolled at LLU.
- Content analysis found 74% identified mastery experiences as the most valuable aspect; about 80% reported science-pipeline sustaining gains, and 58% reported science career affirmation.
Methods
- Retrospective evaluation of 8-week paid summer research internships for underrepresented minority high school (ABC) and college (UTP) students at LLU, using program years 1997–1999 and 2001–2012; 132 ABC and 139 UTP participants (271 total).
- Data came from program applications, follow-up files, National Student Clearinghouse records, and PRE/POST exit surveys; paired-data subgroups included intent (ABC N=53, UTP N=38), skills/self-efficacy (ABC N=47, UTP N=45), and follow-up (ABC N=116, UTP N=136).
- Analyses used chi-square and McNemar tests for intent changes, GLM repeated measures with η² effect sizes for skills/self-efficacy, binary logistic regression, and content analysis of free-answer exit survey responses.
Limitations
- Stated by the paper: selection bias from eligibility and selection criteria cannot be completely accounted for; paired-data analyses represent a subsample; self-efficacy is domain-specific and was measured separately from academic efficacy; some participants were lost to follow-up.
- Evident from the text: there was no randomized control group; outcomes rely on self-report and retrospective follow-up; educational progress is cross-sectional as of January 2013; some paired analyses use small samples.

The Discussion (page unavailable) reports that scientific self-efficacy was significantly associated with students’ intention to continue pursuing a science career. But it also says self-efficacy had no unique predictive effect once identity and values were included, and that its long-term unique predictive power may not exist.

- Supportedcites [43] M Estrada, 2011, Toward a model of social influence that explains minority student integration into the scientific community, Journal of Educational Psychology source
The Discussion reports that self-efficacy, identity, and values are intercorrelated, but may differ in predictive value with students’ depth of integration into science. It also reports that self-efficacy was less predictive for graduate students than for undergraduates, while identity and values remained predictive. The paper treats a developmental explanation as a possibility, not an established effect. (LLM, conf=0.88)

“The work of Hurtado suggests that an early, structured research experience may catalyze the initial domain identity development needed for persistence in a STEM major [38], [46].”

What the sources say
- Partly supportedcites [38] S Hurtado, 2009, Diversifying Science: Underrepresented Student Experiences in Structured Research Programs, Res High Educ sourceExperimental — accuracy not yet measured
In Findings > Becoming a Scientist (page unavailable), students describe research experiences as helping them see themselves as scientists and reinforcing their interest in science. The paper does not establish that an early structured experience initiates that identity or that identity development is necessary for persistence in a STEM major; it notes that many participants’ interest in science began before college. (LLM, conf=0.82)
- Partly supportedcites [46] MJ Chang, 2011, Considering the Impact of Racial Stigmas and Science Identity: Persistence Among Biomedical and Behavioral Science Aspirants, J Higher Educ sourceExperimental — accuracy not yet measured
The “Biomedical and Behavioral Science Persistence and Identity” section (page unavailable) suggests that well-structured undergraduate research can help URM students develop a science identity and, in turn, improve their chances of persisting in a biomedical or behavioral science (BBS) field. The Discussion (page unavailable) links domain identification to BBS-major persistence. The paper does not specifically establish that an early research experience catalyzes initial identity development, and its discussion concerns URM students in BBS fields rather than STEM majors generally.

Self-check
Percentages, sums and reported differences re-computed from the paper’s own numbers.
Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.
Vicarious-experiences percentage uses an inconsistent denominator
MinorThe combined-group entry reports 23%, but 23 of 109 is about 21%. The combined group has 102 participants, for which 23 of 102 would round to 23%.
Reported 23 · recomputed 21.100917
“Vicarious Experiences (Modeling)b (Total) | 22% (11 of 49) | 23% (12 of 53) | 23% (23 of 109)”
UTP participation dates conflict
MinorThe results say the 139 UTP participants took part from 1997-2012, whereas the program history says those 139 participants took part from 2001-2012.
“Likewise, although 139 undergraduate students participated in the UTP program from 1997–2012, the follow-up data is for 136 participants.”
“From 2001 through 2012, a total of 179 summer research internships were awarded to 139 UTP participants, 13 of which participated in the program more than once.”
Combined verbal-persuasion subcategory is missing despite a nonzero total
MinorTable 4 reports four combined-group responses under verbal persuasion, all four of which are attributed to encouragement and support in the UTP group. Yet the combined-group entry for that subcategory is a dash.
“The encouragement and the support | - | 8% (4 ’of 53) | -”
“Verbal Persuasionb (Total) | - | 8% (4 of 53) | 4% (4 of 102)”

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-03, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-03 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
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.
