Thus, other research training support programs may do well to consider that the career coaches are not necessarily matched with a TEAM-Science student based on shared disciplinary background.
The results reported here are for all 10 TEAM-Science students who were enrolled in the program during Spring 2010.
All TEAM-Science students are meeting the requirements of their individual graduate programs in terms of GPA and research productivity.
We will track TEAM-Science students following completion of their doctoral studies to determine their academic progress in terms of postdoctoral fellowships, faculty appointments, publications, and awards.
TEAM-Science students rated their research self-efficacy beliefs relatively high, as reflected in the mean rating of 5.90 (on 7-point scale).
My TEAM-Science students do a much better job of organizing their schedules, planning which experiments they need to do, and knowing how to get them done.
Prior to matriculation in doctoral programs at the UW, TEAM-Science students earned degrees (baccalaureate or master's) from 14 different institutions in nine states (and one in Washington, DC).
Six TEAM-Science students came from research universities with very high research activity according to the Carnegie Classification System, five came from universities with high research activity, five came from either large or medium master's degree granting colleges and universities, and one came from a baccalaureate-only granting college of arts and sciences.
Last month's breakout dirtyBit's FunRun is from a hobbyist team of computer science students from Trondheim, Norway.
In TEAM-Science, each student is paired with a career coach who is a senior faculty member in BBS, but not her/his research advisor, and who serves as an external facilitator to help address career issues.
Cowan, a Loughborough University sports science student, was at the team's training ground as part of a year's work placement with Chelsea.
