Effective mentorship is critical to the success of early stage investigators, and has been linked enhanced mentee productivity, self-efficacy, career satisfaction. The mission National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) provide all trainees across biomedical, behavioral, clinical, social sciences with evidence-based professional development programming that emphasizes benefits challenges diversity, inclusivity, culture within mentoring relationships, more broadly research workforce. purpose...
Using social-cognitive career theory, we identified the experiential sources of learning that contribute to research self-efficacy beliefs, outcome expectations, and science identity for culturally diverse undergraduate students in science, technology, engineering, math (i.e., STEM) majors. We examined group differences by race/ethnicity gender investigate potential cultural variations a model explain students' intentions. sample 688 students, ran series path models testing relationships...
An important step in broadening participation of historically underrepresented (HU) racial/ethnic groups the sciences is creation measures validated with these that will allow for greater confidence results investigations into factors predict their persistence. This study introduces new theoretically derived emanating from social cognitive and identity theories associated persistence HU science disciplines. The purpose this was to investigate: 1) internal reliability factor analyses...
Cultural diversity variables like race and/or ethnicity influence research mentoring relationships, but mentors may not know how to address such with their mentees. Using a randomized controlled trial design, we tested mentor training intervention increase mentors’ awareness and skill in addressing cultural documenting its impact on undergraduate mentees’ ratings of effectiveness. Participants were national sample 216 117 mentees from 32 programs the United States. Mentors experimental...
Effective mentorship is critical to the success of trainees in research career pathways, significantly impacting their productivity, academic and self-efficacy, satisfaction. Research faculty may be unaware or unprepared address mentor-mentee dynamics mentoring relationships, especially those that go beyond traditional scientific skill development. Addressing can even more challenging for mentors from well-represented backgrounds working with mentees historically excluded racial/ethnic...
The Mentoring Competency Assessment (MCA) is an example of a validated instrument for measuring mentor skills postsecondary Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine research. purpose this study was to revalidate the MCA scale using larger, more diverse population since original on small sample predominantly senior white male faculty.
In this study, propensity score matching (PSM) was conducted to examine differences in the effectiveness of research mentor training (RMT) implemented using two modes-face-to-face or synchronous online training. This study investigated each mode and assessed participants' perceived gains mentoring skills, ability meet mentees' expectations, overall quality mentoring, as well intention make changes their practices. Additional factors that may contribute participant outcomes were also...
Abstract Introduction: Mentorship education has been shown to positively impact the experiences of mentors and mentees. Entering Mentoring , an evidence-based mentor training curriculum, widely implemented train research across country, including clinical translational scientists. Facilitating a train-the-trainer based workshop, used as dissemination strategy increase number facilitators prepared implement in their local contexts. The objective this was examine individual institutional...
The interpersonal and relational dimensions of mentoring have been identified as critical components effective mentorship. However, no scale currently exists to assess this specific aspect the relationship. This study introduces a new instrument, mentorship working alliance (MWA) - mentee version, presents initial evidence supporting its validity in evaluating elements relationships. Through series pilot tests revisions, we developed 12-item that assesses two MWA: quality (6 items), which...
An evidence-based research mentor training (RMT) curricular series has been shown to improve the knowledge and skills of mentors across disciplines career stages. A train-the-trainer model was used in context several targeted approaches aimed at sustainability support national dissemination RMT expand network facilitators prepared implement curricula. These infrastructure elements included 1) an expansion initiative increase number trained able deliver workshops nationwide; 2) adaptation...
As part of their mission, Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) hubs are charged with developing, testing, disseminating evidence-based practices to other CTSA hubs. Over the past 7 years, University Wisconsin-Madison has answered this charge by implementing facilitator training (FT) initiative for research mentors. Three elements advance across have been critical: (1) using an FT model empower others build mentor at local institutions; (2) tracking implementation events over time;...
Research in the sociology of work has long considered importance individual worker values but not one central sources those values: congregation. In this study, we examine understudied relationship and propose greater theoretical specification on religious capital. We argue that capital, like social may have bridging characteristics. introduce concept workplace-bridging capital (WBRC) describe its cultivation within congregations. Using data from a survey 1,000 fulltime workers, test WBRC...
There is growing evidence for both the need to manage work-life conflict and opportunity mentors advise their mentees on how do this in an academic research environment.A multiphase approach was used develop implement evidence-informed training module help guide issues of conflict. Analysis existing data from a randomized controlled trial (RCT) mentor curriculum (n = 283 mentor/mentee dyads) informed development mentoring which incorporated into established evaluated by faculty at single...
Past work shows religion’s effect on women’s career decisions, particularly when these decisions involve work-family conflict. This study argues that the religious context of a geographic area also influences solutions to conflict through more or less pervasive normative expectations within community regarding roles and responsibilities family. We use American Community Survey linked with community-level proportions test relationship between contexts participation in labor force contiguous...
Several economic factors should be considered in selecting an agricultural irrigation system. This 7-page fact sheet compares two widely used systems for tomato production: seepage and sub-surface drip irrigation.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The purpose of this study was to assess if the Mentoring Competency Assessment (MCA) could be used capture mentee gains in mentorship skills and how competencies may vary structurally for mentees compared mentors, while original MCA shown a validated measure mentor skills. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: training survey data were collected nationally from 2015 2022. set included 401 respondents who consented participate after 59 events hosted by 34 institutions/organizations...
This publication is based on Florida water use information collected by the United States Geological Service. It expands EDIS document FE797 that examined withdrawals data for 2005. In addition, in FE757 (Florida’s Water Resources), authors describe Florida’s abundant resources—the state receives about 54 inches of rainfall per annum, compared to 30 nationwide, and it overlies prolific aquifers. Whether scarce or abundant, however, depends not only upon available supplies, but also patterns...

The goal of this 11-page fact sheet is to help producers and other interested parties understand how alternative irrigation systems can affect economic outcomes in agricultural operations. We used chipping potato production the Hastings area northeast Florida as an example discuss factors consider when selecting system.
