PRIDE mentees report improved self-efficacy in conducting research and were awarded substantial federal grant funding. (A) The abbreviated Clinical Research Appraisal Inventory (CRAI) was used to evaluate the confidence of mentees to conduct research on an 11-point Likert scale between 0 (no confidence) and 11 (total confidence). CRAI data are shown only for PRIDE 1 mentees since this tool was not established during the SIPID Program. The change in overall confidence score was evaluated with SAS software (Version 9.4 of the SAS System for Unix using the mixed procedure; SAS Institute Inc. 2002–2012, Cary, NC) for repeated measures and unequal N values. The change in overall self-efficacy score from Year 1 to Year 5 (Y1-Y5) was significant (P =.0393), and this effect was dominated by the change from year 1 to year 5. Data are shown as the mean ±standard error mean; P values <.05 are considered statistically significant. (B) Shown is the number of grants submitted by the 34 mentees trained in SIPID and PRIDE 1 conducting hematology research. The overall grant funding rate for the group is shown in the red graph.
