Recruitment

Respondents reported differences in the way they learned about the program in which they participated. R25 Bridges to the Doctorate respondents reported learning about the program primarily from an undergraduate professor or a graduate adviser. The F31 fellows and T32 trainees usually learned about their program from their graduate adviser. Nonminority respondents reported this more often than did minority respondents. The second most cited sources of information about the programs were departmental staff and colleagues. Nonminority respondents were more likely to cite these sources than minority respondents. The latter reported learning about the program from a bulletin board or some “other” source more often than did their nonminority peers. For the T35 short-term training grant respondents, sources of information about the program varied widely. This likely reflects the heterogeneity of this trainee population, but the numbers of respondents were too small and had too great a chance of bias for comparisons among programs.
