concepts they do not understand [13]. Therefore, the formation of home-culture studygroups could be considered an oppositional behavior because many of the faculty do notencourage it.Another example of community conformism occurred through teaching assistants’ office hours.Students found that TAs were more approachable than professors because they were morewilling to help and were more like peers. At TA office hours, students not only received helpfrom TAs, but also found help and community among other students there who were working onthe same assignments. The final example of community conformism was Student 5’s effort torecruit more minority students to undergraduate research opportunities, thus helping them adapt.We observed one example of

Sustaining program participation by URM graduate students in STEM can bechallenging due to the demands on the student’s time for coursework and research. The Covid-19 pandemic also raised the barriers to recruit students and sustain engagement. Many of ourGREATS graduate students are first generation in STEM or come from lower socioeconomicstatus with limited financial resources. Therefore, we originally built in several incentives to recruitstudents and help promote their participation through the duration of this grant. The first incentiveis the opportunity to participate in the program

The framework centers an individual and their decision‐making within multiple interrelated contextual spheres of influence
