09/02/2020 Evaluation & Assessment | U-M LSA Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP)
Evaluation & Assessment 

With funds from the U.S. Department of Education, the National Science Foundation, and the
State of Michigan’s Office of Equity, UROP has been engaged in a longitudinal assessment of
the impact of the program on student retention, academic performance, engagement, and
pursuit of graduate and professional education. UROP employs a multi-method approach to
assessment and evaluation. Our early research efforts were quantitative in focus – surveys
research and retention studies. We added qualitative research to our repertoire to increase
our ability to detect benefits to UROP participation not identified by our more traditional
quantitative approaches. The following is a summary of some of these studies and our
findings.
UROP Retention Study
Given the main goal for UROP is to increase undergraduate student retention and academic
achievement, we investigated whether, and to what degree, UROP is having those intended
influences. The sample of 1,280 students consists of African American, Latino/a, and White
UROP student matched to non-UROP students who applied to the program but who were
not accepted. We obtained retention data from the university’s Office of the Registrar. It
included demographic information (race and gender), term and year of entry, term and year
of most recent active enrollment, current enrollment status, and grade point average for each
term, cumulative grade point average, and enrollment status by term for each student. We
defined retention as students’ persistence through graduation, and attrition as students’
departure from the University of Michigan.
Retention Study Findings
Retention effects were strongest for African American students and for sophomores rather
than first-year students.
UROP has a significant positive effect on male African-American participant’s degree
completion. 75.3% degree completion for UROP students compared to 56.3% for control
and 57.2% for at large African American males.
African American students whose academic performance was below the median for
their race/ethnic group appeared to benefit the most from UROP participation.
White students appear to benefit from UROP participation, but not as strongly as
African American students. (attrition rate for White UROP students compared to White
controls is approximately 1:2).
UROP does not appear to have an influence on Latino/a retention rates.
UROP participation increases degree completion rates for male African American,
White, and students of color, but not for male Hispanic participants or female UROP
participants.
Focus Group Study

Group interviews with UROP students, non-UROP students, and students participating in
another retention program (RP), were intended to identify the impact of UROP on students
not otherwise identified via our other research projects. The focus group study allowed us to
identify the influence of UROP from the perspective of the students. Students were
https://lsa.umich.edu/urop/about-us/evaluation-assessment.html 1/4
interviewed in groups, with UROP students in one group, non-UROP students in another, and
RP students in another. . Data were analyzed using a grounded theory method that consisted
of multiple readings of the focus group interview transcripts to identify themes.
Focus Group Findings
Students discuss their undergraduate experiences in three distinct manners:
1. Proactive — Tendency to initiate activity; anticipate problems before they arise, and act
before acted upon, and to seek out help from individuals.
2. Reactive — Respond to others’ actions, and feeling at the whim of the college
environment.
3. Inactive — Non-interaction with the environment (not attending classes, not doing
homework).
UROP students make 58% of the proactive comments.
UROP students are more likely to discuss anticipating future events, such as looking for
jobs or going to graduate school.
UROP students are more likely to initiate activity with people than non-UROP students
are and see people (faculty, staff, etc.) as positive influences on their academic
experiences.
Non-UROP students make 68% of the reactive/inactive comments.
Non-UROP students are more likely to react to people and see people as barriers to
their learning experiences than UROP students.
Non-UROP students make 69% of the reactive/inactive comments about people.
Underrepresented minority students value both the research and programmatic aspects
of UROP whereas the White and Asian students value the research more strongly than
the programmatic components (peer groups, advising, etc.)
UROP Alumni Survey
The Alumni Survey was designed to identify UROP effects beyond graduation and to examine
whether and to what degree UROP students differed on post-graduate education,
experiences, and career pathways. The Alumni Survey sample was derived by matching
UROP students to 2-4 non-UROP students. We matched UROP students to the controls on
high school grade-point-average, SAT scores, ACT scores, intended major, race/ethnicity, and
where possible, high school type. Control students were students who had applied to UROP
but who were rejected. We had a 58.55% survey return rate for a sample of 291 students. The
survey asked students about their post-graduate experiences, including graduate school,
career choice, and satisfaction with current job.
Alumni Study Findings

Students who participate in undergraduate research (UROP or other research) are
significantly more likely to pursue post-graduate education than control students.
UROP students are significantly more likely to pursue medical, law, or Ph.D. degrees
than control students.
Students who participate in undergraduate research are significantly more likely to be
engaged in post-graduate research activity compared to control students.
Students who participate in undergraduate research are significantly more likely to
utilize an undergraduate faculty member for a job recommendation than control
students.
There are no differences or interaction by race/ethnicity on post-graduate education
pursuit, post-graduate research activity, or job recommendation usage.
Synthesis of Research Findings

Our assessment and evaluation efforts suggest a positive benefit of UROP participation on
student’s retention and academic achievement, pursuit of post-graduate education, post-
graduate research activity, behavioral orientation (active participation in their educational
experiences), and development as researchers. However, the findings are rooted in on
differences by race/ethnicity, gender, and incoming personality characteristics.
Conclusions
UROP does influence students’ academic achievement, retention, behavior, and post-
graduate educational and professional activities – all intended goals for the program.
Findings from several of the research projects suggest a strong connection between UROP
participation and proactive behavior, with UROP students discussing how they actively
interact with the academic environment.
Findings indicate that African American students’ retention and academic achievement does
benefit from a program designed to integrate students into one of the core goals of higher
education – research and the pursuit of knowledge. In addition, findings indicated that UROP
extends its effect beyond the undergraduate experience by retaining students in the
educational pipeline after graduation.
Male UROP participants benefit more strongly from involvement in undergraduate research
in terms of higher degree completion rates than male non-participants.
The research is strengthened by the use of control students who applied to UROP, but who
were not accepted. Hence, the controls should be similar to UROP students to whom they are
compared on characteristics, such as motivation and academic commitment, that could be
related to the outcomes specified.
Future research is needed to determine whether UROP facilitates proactive behavior or

strengthens those behaviors already present.

The total volume topped 2016's $1.39 in research volume expenditures, which also
was a record for the university - a 6.4 percent increase in total research volume
over the previous year. UM ranked second overall to only Johns Hopkins University
among all United States universities in research expenditures.

Federal government investment in UM's research accounted for $832 million - 56

percent - of that total, which was a 5 percent increase over the previous year.
"Industry has benefitted greatly from this investment, tapping the talent of the
great majority of graduating students to help translate the ideas and expertise that
arise on campus into products, processes, and services that have changed virtually
all aspects of our lives," UM Vice President for Research S. Jack Hu said in the
report, noting that industry sponsorship at UM grew by 14 percent to a record-high
of more than $106 million.
Among federal expenditures, $544.7 million (65.5 percent) came from the
Department of Health and Human Services, which includes the National Institutes
of Health (NIH), which provided $502 million in 2017, representing a 10 percent
increase over the previous year.
In 2016, a total of $457 million of the $792 million the university received in federal
funding came from the NIH. Funding from the NIH covers a wide range of units at
UM, including its Medical School, its colleges Engineering, Pharmacy, Dentistry
and Nursing and the Institute for Social Research.

The second largest federal government sponsor, the National Science Foundation,
showed an increase of 7 percent to $92 million during the 2017 fiscal year.
Research funding provided by UM also increased in 2017 to $485.5 million - a 6.5

percent increase over its $456 million in expenditures in 2016. Of that total, $248.4
million came from UM's general fund (an 8.9 percent increase over the previous
year), while $130.9 million came from medical school resources. UM's designated
fund for internally funded research decreased by 52.5 percent, however, from
$68.5 million in 2016 to $32.6 million in 2017.
UM's Medical School spent the most of any unit on campus on research during the
2017 fiscal year, accounting for 41 percent of its total expenditures, followed by
the College of Engineering (17 percent) and the College of Literature, Arts &
Sciences (13 percent).
The research also has translated into marketplace, Hu noted, with UM's Office of
Technology Transfer reporting a record-high 444 new inventions and 172 U.S.
patents issued in 2017.
