PRETEST INTRODUCTION

Hello, my name is ______, and I'm calling on behalf of the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, DC. The Academy is conducting an assessment of some National Institutes of Health research training programs. You have been selected to help us out in testing the questionnaire because of your research experience in {YEAR} at {INSTITUTION}. We are interested in hearing your responses and assessing the flow of the questionnaire. We would really appreciate your help. The call should take less than 30 minutes. Before we begin, I would like to assure you that everything we talk about will be confidential. Your answers will only be used for evaluating the questions I will ask you, and they will never be reported in a way that can be linked back to you. Keep in mind, you may refuse to answer any question. You should also know that this call is being recorded for evaluation purposes.

This report provides an assessment of NIH’s programs for increasing the participation in biomedical science of individuals from underrepresented minority groups. The report examines, using available data and the results of a survey of NIH trainees, the characteristics and outcomes of programs at the undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral, and junior faculty levels. The report provides recommendations for improving these programs and their administration. It also recommends how NIH can improve the data it collects on trainees in all NIH research training programs so as to enhance training program evaluation.
