ARM Network Program Participant Outcomes Data

ASHA currently supports approximately 300 individuals annually through ARM Network programs. To assess the impact of these programs towards increasing the number of PhD faculty and advancing the generation of research needed to support evidence-based practice, ASHA collects data on key scholarly accomplishments of program participants. ASHA measures short and long-term participant outcomes by surveying participants at 3 years and at 6 years following their participation.  Responses reflect activities accomplished at any point during those respective time frames. Below are data collected over the past three years and, therefore, the short-term and long-term outcomes reflect the accomplishments of different cohorts.

PROGENY, SPARC, ARTA & RMPTA Participant Outcomes

arm-outcomes-1a.png

  Short-Term (3-Yr) Long-Term (6-Yr)
Cohort (program participation year) 2019–2021 2016–2018
Survey response rate 30% (89/296) 31% (155/504)
Respondents identifying as Non-White and/or Hispanic/Latina/Latino/Latinx/Spanish origin 27% (24/89) 24% (35/149)

Key Take Aways:

  • Over 90% of the respondents continued to engage in research activities in the years following their participation.
  • Approximately half of them continued to be students or hold an academic or research position in the short term with slightly less in the long-term.

Note: The 2020 ASHA Convention was canceled due to COVID, and, therefore, there were no 2020 cohorts of PROGENY, ARTA, or RMPTA.

  Short-Term (3-Yr) Long-Term (6-Yr)
Cohort (program participation year) 2019–2021 2016–2018
Survey response rate 52% (207/395) 54% (172/320)
Respondents identifying as Non-White and/or Hispanic/Latina/Latino/Latinx/Spanish origin 25% (49/200) 22% (37/167)

Key Take Aways:

  • Even 6 years following participation, 95% of respondents continued on an academic or research career path.
  • Within 3 years, 94% subsequently published at least one peer-reviewed manuscript and 67% were awarded research funding.
  • Funding outcomes tended to be even stronger in the long-term, with 84% awarded funds within 6 years of participation.

Note: GAMER was launched in 2024, so outcome data are not yet available.


Advancing an Academic-Research Career:
AARC, GRRT, CPRI, & DISTAnce Participant Outcomes

  Short-Term (3-Yr) Long-Term (6-Yr)
Cohort (program participation year) 2019–2021 2016–2018
Survey response rate 56% (54/97) 65% (58/89)
Respondents identifying as Non-White and/or Hispanic/Latina/Latino/Latinx/Spanish origin 19% (10/54) 17% (10/58)

Key Take Aways:

  • Virtually all  respondents continued to hold an academic or research position even 6 years following participation.
  • Within 3 years, 35% were promoted and 79% were awarded research funding.
  • Outcomes were even stronger in the long-term, with 76% promoted and 90% awarded research funding within 6 years of participation.

Notes: DISTAnce was launched in 2019 and, therefore, only short-term outcome data are available at this time. APT was launched in 2024, so outcomes data are not yet available.
