Research on STEM mentoring shows that positive mentoring experiences have a significant impact on the success of emerging researchers in STEM fields. This project focuses on developing and implementing strategies for improving STEM mentoring specifically within the Research Experience in Mentoring (REM) programs. While the REM programs have been very successful at providing research opportunities for participants from unique demographics, the Research Experience in Mentoring (REM) PIs are asked to develop and implement a mentoring plan without any training or support in how to be effective mentors. To support effective mentoring within REM programs, the Mentoring Catalyst was established. The overarching mission of the Mentoring Catalyst is to catalyze a programmatic change that positively impacts the mentors and the student/teacher mentees by establishing a community of practice around strong mentorship, student support and research success. The REM model of sustained mentoring was used to guide the development of the initiative.The four overarching components of the Mentoring Catalyst 3.0 project are to 1) Provide REM mentor training; 2) Build and maintain the REM community of practice; 3) Develop REM mini-conferences at discipline-specific professional meetings; and 4) Develop post-programmatic mentoring resources. To achieve these goals, the REM Catalyst Initiative 3.0 will continue to implement an 8-hr online Entering Mentoring workshop, host annual REM PI meetings, while also building additional programming centered around effective post-programmatic mentorship. During the online workshops, mentors will gather to discuss mentoring topics, while also establishing a strong community of REM mentors. At the culmination of the virtual workshop mentors will develop a mentoring philosophy and a post-program mentoring plan. These philosophies and plans will be shared with the REM community through online platforms and more broadly through presentations at national meetings and peer reviewed publications. REM mentors will also be invited to participate in the annual two-day REM Mentoring Conference that will include training on how to implement mentor training at their home institutions and sharing of best-practices utilized by each unique REM program. These activities facilitate the continued establishment of a strong community of practice that brings together long-standing programs with newly established REMs to increase the commitment towards strong mentorship, student support and research success. Additionally, Catalyst 3.0 will integrate post-program mentoring discussions throughout all their programming, and also provide support for mini-conferences at professional disciplinary-specific societies during the academic year to promote participant engagement after the culmination of REM summer research programs.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

STEM 指导研究表明，积极的指导经历对 STEM 领域新兴研究人员的成功具有重大影响。该项目的重点是制定和实施改善 STEM 指导的策略，特别是在指导研究经验 (REM) 项目中。虽然 REM 项目在为来自独特人群的参与者提供研究机会方面非常成功，但指导研究经验 (REM) PI 被要求制定和实施指导计划，而无需任何关于如何成为有效导师的培训或支持。为了支持 REM 项目中的有效指导，建立了指导催化剂。指导催化剂的首要任务是通过围绕强有力的指导、学生支持和研究成功建立一个实践社区，促进对导师和学生/教师受指导者产生积极影响的计划性变革。持续指导的 REM 模型用于指导该计划的开发。Mentoring Catalyst 3.0 项目的四个总体组成部分是 1) 提供 REM 导师培训； 2) 建立和维护 REM 实践社区； 3）在特定学科专业会议上开展REM小型会议； 4) 开发项目后指导资源。为了实现这些目标，REM Catalyst Initiative 3.0 将继续实施时长 8 小时的在线进入指导研讨会，举办年度 REM PI 会议，同时还围绕有效的项目后指导制定其他项目。在在线研讨会期间，导师将聚集在一起讨论指导主题，同时建立强大的 REM 导师社区。在虚拟研讨会结束时，导师将制定指导理念和项目后指导计划。这些理念和计划将通过在线平台以及更广泛地通过在全国会议和同行评审出版物上的演讲与 REM 社区分享。 REM 导师还将受邀参加为期两天的年度 REM 指导会议，其中包括如何在其所在机构实施导师培训的培训，以及分享每个独特的 REM 项目所采用的最佳实践。这些活动有助于继续建立一个强大的实践社区，将长期项目与新成立的 REM 结合起来，以加强对强有力的指导、学生支持和研究成功的承诺。此外，Catalyst 3.0 将在所有项目中整合项目后指导讨论，并在学年期间为专业学科特定协会的小型会议提供支持，以促进 REM 夏季研究项目结束后的参与者参与。该奖项反映了通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，NSF 的法定使命被认为值得支持。
