Program Evaluation

After completion of the program, an annual optional iDRIV program evaluation survey was distributed to participants. The survey contained a total of 13 questions. The first five questions (Figure 1) evaluated participant satisfaction and were presented on a Likert scale (strongly agree, somewhat agree, neither agree nor disagree, somewhat disagree, and strongly agree). Eight open-ended questions inquired about any additional comments, what aspects of the program were most and least beneficial, and suggestions for the program in the future.

Annual iDRIV Program Evaluation Survey

As metrics of the scholars’ and overall program success, we gathered information on scholars’ accomplishments and publications for up to three years after their participation. Program data were collected using Qualtrics (Qualtrics, Provo, UT) or REDCap [²⁷]. Descriptive data analysis was prepared for this manuscript.
