Grineski, Sara E.; Morales, Danielle X.; Collins, Timothy W. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
COVID-19 created unprecedented challenges for college students, highlighting the need to provide educational contexts that foster well-being. Summer undergraduate research experiences (SUREs) constitute a high-impact practice, yet little systematic knowledge exists about how the first surge of COVID-19 influenced undergraduate researchers'…

Frederick, Angela; Grineski, Sara E.; Collins, Timothy W.; Daniels, Heather A.; Morales, Danielle X. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
This study reports findings from 19 interviews with Hispanic/Latinx students participating in a university-wide, multiyear program designed to retain students from underrepresented backgrounds in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) at a Hispanic-serving institution. We focus on the impact that having multiple opportunities to…

Morales, Danielle X.; Grineski, Sara E.; Collins, Timothy W. – Studies in Higher Education, 2021
Faculty-mentored summer undergraduate research experiences (SUREs) have been shown to increase the diversity of students pursuing research careers. No existing studies have approached the issue of broadening participation in STEM research training by focusing on mentoring relationship heterogeneity (MRH) in the context of SUREs. Increasing MRH…

Morales, Danielle X.; Grineski, Sara E.; Collins, Timothy W. – Science Education, 2018
Undergraduate research is a high impact educational practice that encourages more women to engage in science. Few studies have focused on gender concordance between mentors and mentees within the context of summer undergraduate research programs, and none have linked gender concordance with student gains. Previous research has more often…

Daniels, Heather; Grineski, Sara E.; Collins, Timothy W.; Morales, Danielle X.; Morera, Osvaldo; Echegoyen, Lourdes – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2016
Undergraduate research experiences (UREs) confer many benefits to students, including improved self-confidence, better communication skills, and an increased likelihood of pursuing science careers. Additionally, UREs may be particularly important for racial/ethnic minority students who are underrepresented in the science workforce. We examined…

Collins, Timothy W.; Grineski, Sara E.; Shenberger, Jessica; Morales, Xiaodan; Morera, Osvaldo F.; Echegoyen, Lourdes E. – Journal of College Student Development, 2017
Few scholars have comprehensively examined benefits of undergraduate research (UGR) participation for students at an institution campus-wide. In this study we examined benefits of UGR participation at a Hispanic-majority institution using National Survey of Student Engagement data. Generalized estimating equations were used to examine the…
