Identifying Opportunities for Retention of BIPOC Librarians Using Survival Analysis

East Carolina University requests $493,353 to conduct a three-year research in service to practice project investigating the retention of librarians who identify as Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC). The research team will use a statistical technique called survival analysis to determine whether, when, and why BIPOC librarians are likely to leave the profession. We will conduct interviews to contextualize and expand the results. The research team will work with key stakeholders to identify potential directions for retention of BIPOC librarians in the profession.
