To increase the numbers of underrepresented racial minority students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), federal and private agencies have allocated significant funding to undergraduate research programs, which have been shown to students' intentions of enrolling in graduate or professional school. Analyzing a longitudinal sample of 4,152 aspiring STEM majors who completed the 2004 Freshman Survey and 2008 College Senior Survey, this study utilizes multinomial hierarchical generalized linear modeling (HGLM) and propensity score matching techniques to examine how participation in undergraduate research affects STEM students' intentions to enroll in STEM and non-STEM graduate and professional programs. Findings indicate that participation in an undergraduate research program significantly improved students' probability of indicating plans to enroll in a STEM graduate program.
为了增加科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）领域中代表性不足的少数族裔学生数量，联邦和私人机构已为本科研究项目投入了大量资金，这些项目已被证明会影响学生进入研究生或专业学院深造的意愿。本研究分析了4152名有志于从事STEM专业的学生的纵向样本，他们分别完成了2004年的新生调查和2008年的大学四年级学生调查，运用多项分层广义线性模型（HGLM）和倾向得分匹配技术，来研究参与本科研究如何影响STEM专业学生进入STEM和非STEM研究生及专业项目深造的意愿。研究结果表明，参与本科研究项目显著提高了学生表示计划进入STEM研究生项目深造的概率。
