Figure 2. Institutional, demographic, and previous research experience of students enrolled in the Fly-CURE.

(A) Institutional profiles where the Fly-CURE was implemented were obtained from The Carnegie Classification system. Institutions classified as Baccalaureate Colleges were combined into a single Primarily Undergraduate Institution (PUI) category. Carnegie Institutions classified as Doctoral/Professional Universities or Master’s Universities were pooled together as Non-R2, graduate degree-granting institutions. Number of institutions in each category: PUI (n=6), Non-R2 graduate degree-granting institutions (n=5), R2 (n=3), Community College (n=1) (see Appendix 1). (B) Minority Serving Institution (MSI) data was obtained from The Office of Postsecondary Education Eligibility Matrix. Number of institutions in each category: Non-MSI (n=12), Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI, n=1), Historically Black College or University (HBCU) (n=1), Asian American and Native Pacific Islander Serving Institution (AANAPIS) and HSI (n=1) (Appendix 1). (C-F) Demographic information from the student pre-course survey was used to determine the number of students that self-identified as underrepresented in STEM (C) or as first-generation college students (D). Pre-course survey data was also used to identify whether Fly-CURE participants had previously obtained research experience (E) and if so, the type of research experience in which students had participated (F).
