Replication Data for: Pipeline Diversity via Career Diversity: Lessons from a Research Experience for Undergraduates Program

Fostering diversity in political science is important. Undergraduate research experiences, coupled with an emphasis on career diversity, hold the potential to increase relevant knowledge and buoy inclinations toward pursuing a PhD among students from diverse backgrounds. We describe components of a US National Science Foundation-funded research experiences for undergraduates (REU) program that highlighted career diversity. We find evidence of positive shifts in awareness of career opportunities for those with doctoral degrees alongside sustained interest in pursuing a PhD. We conclude an emphasis on career diversity can be a useful component of efforts to shape students’ attitudes and inclinations toward a PhD.
