Innovative evidence-based-interventions are needed to equip research mentors with skills address cultural diversity within mentoring relationships. A pilot study assessed initial outcomes of a culturally tailored effort create and disseminate novel intervention titled Culturally Aware Mentoring (CAM) for mentors.Intervention development resulted in four products: 6hr CAM training curriculum, facilitator guide, an online pre-training module, metrics evaluate the effectiveness...
This study used semistructured interviews and grounded theory to look for characteristics among college undergraduates that predicted persistence into Ph.D. M.D./Ph.D. training. Participants in the summer undergraduate postbaccalaureate research programs at Mayo Clinic College of Medicine were interviewed start, near end, 8–12 months after their experience. Of more than 200 themes considered, five those students who went on training or M.D. intending do research: 1) Curiosity discover...
Quitting smoking often results in weight gain. The causes of the gain are not known. present study evaluated changes calories, total sugars, sucrose, fat, protein, and nonsugar carbohydrates as well activity levels after quitting smoking. Ninety-five subjects were randomly assigned to either early (Week 2) or late 6) quit dates. Subjects assessed on weight, food intake, levels, at baseline, Weeks 4 8, 12 26 postquit. indicated significant increases fats 2 weeks date. Changes for sugars less...
The Academy for Future Science Faculty (the Academy) is a novel coaching intervention biomedical PhD students designed to address limitations in previous efforts promote faculty diversity. Unlike traditional research mentoring, the includes both group and individual coaching, coaches have no or evaluation roles with students, it based on social science theories. authors present qualitative case study of one groups provide statistical analyses indicating whether year effects students'...
Abstract Although the importance of research mentorship has been well established, role mentors junior clinical and translational science investigators is not clearly defined. The authors attempt to derive a list actionable competencies for from series complementary methods. We examined focus groups, literature, derived scholars, mentor training curricula, evaluation forms finally conducted an expert panel process in order compose this list. These efforts resulted set that include generic...
The Graduate Student Internships for Career Exploration (GSICE) program at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), offers structured training and hands-on experience through internships a broad range PhD-level careers. GSICE model was successfully replicated Davis (UC Davis). Here, we present outcome data total 217 PhD students participating in UCSF UC programs from 2010 to 2015 2014 2015, respectively. internship two sites demonstrated comparable participation, completion rates,...
Abstract In this study, we conducted in‐depth interviews with 52 college graduates as they entered a Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP). Our goal was to investigate what it means for these aspiring scientists, most of whom are from groups underrepresented in the sciences, feel ready apply doctoral program biomedical sciences. For our analysis, developed and used theoretical framework which integrates concepts identity‐in‐practice literature Bourdieu's formulation cultural...
National efforts to address the diversity dilemma in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) often emphasize increasing numbers of historically underrepresented (HU) students faculty, but fall short instituting concrete changes for inclusion belonging. Therefore, pool senior faculty who wish become guides advocates emerging scientists from HU populations is an essential step toward creating new pathways their career advancement. As a achieving this goal, we created novel eight-hour...
Improvement in the proportion of underrepresented racial and ethnic minorities (URMs) academic positions has been unsatisfactory. Although this is a complex problem, one key issue that graduate students often rely on research mentors for career-related support, effectiveness which can be variable. We present results from novel career “coaching” intervention, aim was to provide supplementary social support PhD students, particularly those backgrounds. Coaching delivered both within small...
This article summarizes the outcomes of second national conference on Future Bioscience Graduate and Postdoctoral Training. Five topics were addressed during conference: diversity in leadership positions; mentoring; modernizing curriculum; experiential learning; need for better data trainees. The goal was to develop a consensus around these five recommend policies that can be implemented by academic research institutions federal funding agencies United States.
Abstract A longstanding and significant disparity in representation across gender, economic status, ethnicity, race, sexual identity exists within STEM doctoral training. Most of the research on retention attrition minoritized PhD students focuses individual factors, rather than system level issues. To address these gaps, we qualitatively examined longitudinal experiences 33 Asian American, Black, Latiné female biomedical students, using a structural violence framework. The researchers...
Approaches to training biomedical scientists have created a talented research community. However, they failed create professional workforce that includes many racial and ethnic minorities women in proportion their representation the population or PhD training. This is particularly true at faculty level. Explanations for absence of diversity ranks can be found social science theories reveal processes by which individuals develop identities, experiences, skills required seen as legitimate...
This report builds upon our previous study, which described five patterns of why college graduates join National Institutes Health (NIH)-funded diversity-focused Postbaccalaureate Research Education Programs (PREP). A 2015 from the NIH showed that a high fraction PREP participants matriculate into PhD and MD/PhD programs. current study reveals how change during PREP, program elements facilitate change, identity as graduate student future scientist develops. Data come in-depth interviews done...
Introduction Many recent mentoring initiatives have sought to help improve the proportion of underrepresented racial and ethnic minorities (URMs) in academic positions across biomedical sciences. However, intractable nature problem underrepresentation suggests that many young scientists may require supplemental career development beyond what mentors are able offer. As an adjunct traditional scientific mentoring, we created a novel "coaching" intervention for PhD students Objective To...
Preparing a successful research proposal is one of the most complex skills required professional scientists, yet this skill rarely if ever, taught. A major goal National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) in United States (U.S.) to support advancement postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty from diverse populations by offering intensive coaching development grant proposals early their careers. This article highlights Institutes Health's (NIH) NRMN initiative prepare constituencies early-stage...
Background A diverse research workforce is essential for catalyzing biomedical advancements, but this goal hindered by persistent sex and racial/ethnic disparities among investigators receiving grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). In response, NIH-funded Research Mentoring Network implemented a Grant Writing Coaching Program (GCP) to provide cohorts early-career across United States with intensive coaching throughout proposal development process. We evaluated GCP’s national...
