had been highly rated at the time of original review. Inpart because of this and in part because it is an important part of proposal review, our reviewerswere asked to closely read the current program description and calls for proposals and evaluatethe proposals with respect to how well they matched the current call. This allowed for apotentially greater range of quality evaluations, with the understanding that there would be amismatch between the current call and the call the original proposals responded to. The callsused in this training were the Preparing Future Engineers: Research Initiation in EngineeringFormation (PRF: RIEF), Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (S-STEM),and the Faculty Early Career Development

institutions that may not have graduate programs in an area toimmerse them into a research program at a research university and thus, increase their awarenessand interest in graduate school in computing, science, technology, engineering, and math (C-STEM) fields. Such undergraduate research experiences have been lauded as to their benefit toenriching undergraduate student experience in research and to further greatly impact theirinterest in graduate school. The REU program shares commonalities with project-based orproblem-based learning in that students were engaged in projects and involved in the process likeexisting members of a research group.Past research (e.g., [1], [2], [6 -13]) lauded undergraduate summer research programs for theirimpact on
belonging, self-efficacy,teamwork and collective sense of academic purpose. We hope the lessons learned from this effortwill inform other schools of engineering on effective retention elements that seem to be closelyassociated with increased persistence of URES students.References[1] R.

underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), Hispanic adults continueto be underutilized talent pool. Although lower Hispanic enrollments in higher education have been cited as a primarybarrier to STEM careers, more Hispanic high school students are enrolling in higher education. They represent thesecond largest ethno-racial group among undergraduates (25%). Despite the relatively high representation inundergraduate education, they represent only 8% of the total STEM workforce. Women and Hispanic women remainseverely underrepresented in STEM fields. Currently, women comprise 25% of the STEM workforce, and Hispanicwomen comprise less than 2% of the STEM workforce [1]. Addressing the equity gaps in male-dominated fields
