postsymposium surveys, and workshop evaluations. This paper discusses the outcomes of the firstyear of the three-year funded PFMF program, including survey results and lessons learned.Background and Structure of the PFMF ProgramPoor enrollment of African Americans and other underrepresented minorities in STEMdisciplines is a critical, established problem. Though estimates demand great increases in collegecompletion in STEM areas to drive the U. S. economy, less than a quarter of minorities havecollege degrees [1]. This makes minorities a critical focal point as the nation works to addressgaps in STEM degree production. Science leaders agree overwhelmingly that increased diversityin the sciences is critical [2]. Increased diversity in STEM thought
research is needed to investigatehow teams will continue to experience the characteristics of a guiding coalition as they shift andchange throughout their change process. These findings are limited to data collected from theRED team members; it is beyond the scope of this project to collect data from individualsexternal to the team, though that would increase the validity of the findings. Next steps for thisresearch include disaggregating our analysis to investigate how contextual differences acrossteams impact the team formation processes—while some of these differences emerged in ourinitial analysis, further investigation is warranted.References[1] J.

A second set of items to assess students’ career interests drewfrom Holland’s work on six personality types and the career activities associated with them:realistic (R), investigative (I), artistic (A), social (S), enterprising (E), and conventional (C) [34].We adapted items from the O*NET Interest Profiler [35-36] that assesses career/vocationalinterests based on these RIASEC types. We sought to reduce the number of items by havingstudents pick the O*NET-derived activity they most preferred within a set that included anoption from each RIASEC category rather than rating all items. We presented five sets of 6activities each, and then a
