This special issue details mentoring interventions from the NIH Diversity Program Consortium (DPC). It highlights the use of Entering Mentoring and Entering Research curricula to support research mentors and trainees.
Area of Science:
- Biomedical research training
- Mentorship programs
- Diversity in research
Background:
- The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Diversity Program Consortium (DPC) implemented various mentoring interventions.
- The National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) provides curricular materials like Entering Mentoring and Entering Research.
- Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD) institutions utilized these resources.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide insights into mentoring interventions across the NIH DPC.
- To showcase the adaptation and implementation of NRMN curricula.
- To report outcomes of NRMN-developed programs.
Main Methods:
- Review of articles detailing mentoring interventions within the NIH DPC.
- Examples of adaptation and implementation of Entering Mentoring and Entering Research curricula.
- Reporting of outcomes from NRMN programs.
Main Results:
- Successful adaptation and implementation of Entering Mentoring and Entering Research curricula at BUILD institutions.
- Varied outcomes reported from NRMN-developed programs.
- Insights into effective mentoring strategies for research trainees and mentors.
Conclusions:
- The Entering Mentoring and Entering Research curricula are valuable resources for research mentorship.
- Mentoring interventions within the DPC have shown promise in supporting diversity in research.
- Continued development and dissemination of effective mentoring programs are crucial.
