  • Title: Goals, costs, and outcomes of a predoctoral student research program.
    Author: Rosenstiel SF, Johnston WM.
    Journal: J Dent Educ; 2002 Dec; 66(12):1368-73. PubMed ID: 12521063.
    Abstract:
    The aims of this work were to describe the goals and costs of a predoctoral student research program and compare the career choice and school donations of dental alumni who received student research experience to those without the experience. The identity of participants in the student research program was obtained from college records, and outcomes data on the student researchers from the years 1991 to 1994 were obtained with a telephone survey. Survey responses were compared to recent alumni surveys of the classes of 1992 and 1994, mathematically corrected to provide an estimate for non-research participants. A student research program that involves about one-fourth of the class currently costs in excess of $100,000. However, the benefits were found to be considerable. Compared to the class as a whole, after seven to ten years student researchers were 3.5 times more likely to complete specialty training, nearly five times more likely to become full-time faculty members, and 32 percent more likely to be donors.
