参加少数族裔学生年度生物医学研究会议 (ABRCMS) 的学生报告了许多好处，包括更高的研究自我效能、研究信心、科学归属感以及在研究生院攻读研究学位的意愿。研究信心的增强预示着研究生院对科学研究职业的计划和意图。少数民族学生年度生物医学研究会议（ABRCMS）旨在支持本科生作为未来科学家的专业发展。 2008 年至 2011 年期间参加 ABRCMS 的大三学生、大四学生和学士后学生将收到一份在线调查问卷的链接，他们在其中报告了自己在会议上的经历。与会者报告了 ABRCMS 提供的许多好处。参加 ABRCMS 或在 ABRCMS 上演讲的频率与科学自我效能感、研究信心、科学归属感以及在研究生院攻读研究学位的意愿呈正相关。研究信心的增强预示着研究生院对科学研究职业的计划和意图；然而，男性比女性更有可能从事研究职业，这可能是因为男性对研究的信心更高。尽管所有参与者都受益于 ABRCMS，但代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 学生在参加 ABRCMS 后比非 URM 学生具有更高的科学自我效能感和科学归属感。这一发现证明了 ABRCMS 作为提高 URM 在科学领域的代表性和成功的干预措施的有效性。结果强调了参加面向少数群体的研究会议的重要性，URM 可以在会上培养他们的科学自我效能、研究信心和科学归属感。然而，为了减少性别差距，可能需要改变会议和本科生研究经验。
Students who attended Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS) reported many benefits, including greater research self-efficacy, research confidence, sense of belonging in science, and intentions to pursue a research degree in graduate school. Increase in research confidence predicts graduate school plans and intentions for a research career in science. The Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS) is designed to support undergraduate students’ professional development as future scientists. Juniors, seniors, and postbaccalaureates who attended ABRCMS during 2008–2011 were emailed a link to an online questionnaire in which they reported their experiences at the conference. Attendees reported many ABRCMS-provided benefits. Frequency of attending or presenting at ABRCMS is positively related to science self-efficacy, research confidence, sense of belonging in science, and intentions to pursue a research degree in graduate school. Increased research confidence predicts graduate school plans and intentions for a research career in science; however, men were slightly more likely to intend to pursue a research career than women, likely due to higher research confidence. Although all attendees benefited from ABRCMS, underrepresented minority (URM) students had higher science self-efficacy and sense of belonging in science after attending ABRCMS than non-URM students. This finding demonstrates the effectiveness of ABRCMS as an intervention to increase the representation and success of URMs in science. Results highlight the importance of attending a minority-oriented research conference where URMs can develop their science self-efficacy, research confidence, and sense of belonging in science. However, changes to the conference and undergraduate research experiences may be necessary to reduce gender gaps.
