Evaluation of the Kentucky INBRE Student Outcomes

To assess the impact on student learning of the mentoring program in biomedical research for undergraduate students at the KBRIN universities. While student outcomes due to KBRiN participation are the main focus of this study, they are intricately related to the KBRIN effects on faculty and institutions, as the campus climate will have an effect on student involvement in research and on student learning. Thus, the primary focus will be student learning and the learning environment/context. The overarching questions are: How do we know KBRiN "works" and has an impact? How do we define impact? What is measured? What results are obtained? What do the results mean?
