Longitudinal Research

Longitudinal Research

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Area of Science:

Graduate STEAM Education
Interdisciplinary Research Training

Background:

The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Research Traineeship (NRT) Program supports interdisciplinary graduate education.
The program aims to develop scholars capable of transcending disciplinary boundaries for workforce development.
Innovative graduate educational opportunities are central to the NRT Program's mission.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess professional development skills and activities within 20 NRT projects.
To identify commonly highlighted technical and transferable skills.
To analyze skill integration, stakeholder targeting, and time allocation in NRT educational programming.

Main Methods:

Analysis of annual reports from 20 NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) projects.
Documentation review to identify professional development skills and activities.
In-depth case studies of three NRT projects to explore challenges and successes.

Main Results:

Communication (43%), job readiness (42%), and team science (26%) were the most frequently reported professional development skills.
Varied integration of skills into educational programming across projects.
Identification of common programmatic challenges and successful strategies.

Conclusions:

NRT projects commonly focus on communication, job readiness, and team science skills.
Strategies for managing challenges can inform other graduate professional development initiatives.
These innovations hold potential for transformative change in graduate STEAM education nationally.
