Note. N = number of participants; f indicates the proportion of responses at each value (or range of values) in the frequency distribution. Since no science mentorship or research activity information was collected in the initial wave of data collection (Wave 0), the values for Cumulative Science Mentorship and Cumulative Research Experience have been set to 0.
