Summary
Diverse mentoring networks in the National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) platform promote career advancement. Engaging with heterogeneous networks and staying longer on the platform correlate with positive mentee transitions and growth.
Area of Science:
- Mentoring and Professional Development in STEMM
- Network Analysis and Career Transitions
Background:
- The National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) aims to enhance diversity in STEMM by providing resources.
- The MyNRMN platform facilitates mentoring, networking, and professional development for underrepresented groups.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the relationship between mentee engagement with mentoring and networking resources on the MyNRMN platform and career transitions.
- To determine if network diversity and platform longevity are associated with positive mentee growth and career changes.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of 7,209 user profiles on the MyNRMN platform that indicated an education or career change.
- Definition of 'transition' as a change in profile fields: institution, education level, degree, or career.
- Statistical assessment of associations between network homogeneity/heterogeneity, platform longevity, and positive transitions.
Main Results:
- Connections between racially homogenous users were linked to decreased positive transitions (b=-0.107, p<0.05).
- Connections with heterogeneous ethnicities were associated with increased positive transitions (b=0.105, p<0.05).
- Longer engagement (longevity) on the MyNRMN platform significantly correlated with increased positive transitions (b=0.424, p<0.05).
Conclusions:
- Diverse ethnic networks within the MyNRMN platform are crucial for fostering positive mentee career transitions.
- Sustained engagement and participation in heterogeneous networks on the MyNRMN platform support mentee growth and career advancement in STEMM.
