The Student Research Participation (SRP) program sponsored by the US Department of Energy (DOE) is designed to provide ten-week summer research appointments to science and engineering undergraduate students. Profile data were collected at the time of participation for all 782 participants in the 1985 SRP program. In 1993, follow-up survey forms were mailed to former participants for whom addresses were available, and 279 former participants returned forms. In addition, a group of 14 former participants met as a special focus group to provide detailed information about their program experiences and the impact of program participation on their subsequent educational accomplishments and career aspirations.
