Summary<\/strong><\/p>

This initiative promotes workforce diversity within the biomedical and behavioral\u00a0sciences and other STEM fields through collaborative efforts with the non-profit organization\u00a0Understanding Interventions. The collaboration as resulted in the development of several\u00a0proposals to NIH and NSF, the development of a prototype for a web portal containing various\u00a0resources for researchers, diversity program staff, program evaluators and other stakeholders.<\/p>

Understanding Interventions Index<\/strong><\/p>

Between 2014 and 2017, DRPP researchers held a subaward from Understanding Interventions (housed at Long island University), to plan, develop, and implement a prototype for the UI Index. The UI Index was envisions as an online searchable database of publications related to STEM workforce diversity. Working with Understanding Interventions leaders and colleagues at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, DRPP refined the initial vision for the UI Index.<\/p>

DRPP researchers expanded the types of resources available within the UI Index\u00a0beyond a searchable database of peer-reviewed articles. After the initial creation of this\u00a0database, the UI Index developers realized that the UI community needed to access information\u00a0through multiple entry points. DRPP has primarily been responsible for the substantive content\u00a0available while UCCS has developed the databases and published the seven resources on the\u00a0UI Index web portal:<\/p>

The UI Index article database<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>

The UI Index article database is a searchable resource\u00a0containing a representative, non-exhaustive, and expanding set of published articles that are\u00a0relevant to interventions that diversify science, technology, engineering, and mathematics\u00a0(STEM) fields.<\/p>

The UI Index journal list.<\/span> The UI Journal List contains a representative, non-exhaustive,\u00a0and expanding list of journals that have published articles relevant to interventions that diversify\u00a0science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. The UI Journal List is also\u00a0searchable, enabling users to locate journals that may contain articles of interest or journals in\u00a0which the user\u2019s own research might be published.<\/p>

The UI Index reports.<\/span> UI Reports is a searchable database containing a representative,\u00a0non-exhaustive, and expanding list of reports relevant to interventions that diversify STEM\u00a0fields.<\/p>

The UI index evaluation measures.<\/span> UI Evaluation Measures is a searchable database\u00a0containing a representative, non-exhaustive, and expanding set of articles pertaining to\u00a0measures (i.e., scales, instruments) of concepts of interest (e.g., self-efficacy, academic identity,\u00a0resilience, etc.) to researchers, evaluators, and intervention program staff.<\/p>

The UI Index of articles with 50+ citations.<\/span> The UI Articles with 50+ citations consists of\u00a0a searchable database containing citations obtained from different academic databases. The\u00a0articles report on studies of STEM and biomedical\/behavioral science interventions, programs,\u00a0and enrichment activities designed to diversify these fields.<\/p>

The UI Index NIH funded research on interventions.<\/span> Of special note above is NIH-funded Research on Interventions, is a resource containing information on the research\u00a0programs that have been funded by the NIH-NIGMS mechanisms related to research on\u00a0interventions. The funding mechanisms covered by the resource are: a) Research on\u00a0Interventions that Promote Research Careers; b) Research to Understand and Inform\u00a0Interventions that Promote the Research Careers of Students in Biomedical and Behavioral\u00a0Sciences; and c) the ARRA funded Pathfinder Award to Promote Diversity in the Scientific\u00a0Workforce.<\/p>

The UI Index NSF Broadening Participation:<\/span> The NSF Broadening Participation resource\u00a0contains information on the research programs that have been funded by NSF that can be\u00a0categorized under its Broadening Participation initiatives. The funding mechanisms covered by\u00a0this resource include: a) AGEP; b) ADVANCE; c) LSAMP; d) STEP; e) HPCU-UP; f) Tribal\u00a0Colleges; g) INCLUDES; h) BPE; i) RISE; j) CREST; k) TCUP among others.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t
