TABLE 5:

Advanced research participation across comparison groups from before to after the launch of AEMES programming^a

^aAdvanced research participation is defined as participation in credit-bearing, scientific faculty–mentored research opportunities available within the major through honors or independent research in the junior or senior year. Between-group comparisons were analyzed within natural sciences or life sciences. Results are based on pairwise two-sided Pearson chi-square tests. Paired letters/numbers note significant differences (p value < 0.05; χ² > 3.841; df = 1) across groups within each time (using lettered superscripts) as well as within a specific group across time (using numbered superscripts).

^bThe AEMES Scholar group includes only AEMES students who have graduated.
