10-Year Assessment

After its first 10 years, NIH plans to assess the program’s overall “outcomes, effectiveness in enhancing diversity, and whether program should continue”. NIH will make a decision on whether the program should:

  1. Continue as proposed
  2. Continue with modification
  3. Discontinue

Specific Metrics Used to Assess This Decision:

  • Undergrad Student Programs
    • Successful completion of undergraduate degrees in a STEM field
    • Pending application for and/or enrollment in advanced degree programs in a STEM field
    • Subsequent participation in formal research training or career development programs in a STEM field
    • Subsequent participation in research or employment in a STEM field
    • Authorship of scientific publications in a STEM field
  • Graduate Student Programs
    • Successful completion of STEM graduate programs
    • Subsequent participation in a formal research training or career development programs in a STEM field
    • Subsequent participation in research or employment in a STEM field
    • Authorship of scientific publications in a STEM field
    • Subsequent independent research grant support from NIH or other sources
  • Postdoc and Early Career Investigator Programs
    • Subsequent participation in formal research training or career development programs in a STEM field
    • Subsequent participation in research or employment in a STEM field
