Project Summary/Abstract A diverse biomedical and behavioral workforce is essential to the health of the nation, yet retention of diverse trainees in research careers has proven challenging. Mentor training is one intervention that has shown promise in helping ensure that diverse trainees persist in their career path; fostering identity as a scientist is another. The objective of the Scientific Communication Advances Research Excellence (SCOARE) program is to provide research mentors with knowledge and skills to mentor their diverse trainees effectively in the principles and practices of scientific communication, foundational skills for success in research careers. The SCOARE curriculum design integrates elements based on research showing that trainees raised speaking racial or ethnic varieties of English may experience the research environment differently than others, and that effective mentoring in the practice of speaking, writing, and presenting influences trainees’ intentions to persist in research careers. The long-term goal of SCOARE is to strengthen career intention and build capacity of diverse research trainees by providing their mentors with SciComm training. In Aim 1, a mentor workshop will be designed to equip participants with knowledge of why and how trainee SciComm skills interact with productivity, outcome expectations, racial/ethnic identity, and career intention; explain the principles of SciComm acquisition; provide mentors with feasible and effective practices for improved mentoring; and provide continued reinforcement and support online. For Aim 2, evaluations of the workshops and online resources will measure both mentor implementation of new practices and mentee gains in productivity, outcome expectations, career intention, and increased sense of comfort in the research environment. In Aim 3, evaluation results will inform the design and development of a facilitator training program, and former workshop participants will have the opportunity to learn to deliver the workshops to others, thereby extending the program’s reach. The curriculum and materials for both workshops will be made publicly available, and evaluation results will be disseminated. Outcomes for this program include 1) fully developed and evaluated SciComm mentoring workshops; 2) a fully developed and evaluated SciComm facilitator training; and 3) a total of at least 500 mentors trained and 45 SCOARE Facilitators trained. The program will be significant because it will empower mentors to employ SciComm skill development to train a research workforce that is both skilled in communication and diverse; it will be innovative because it is grounded in linguistic, pedagogical, and social-cognitive evidence that addresses powerful links among language, motivation, and identity. Its impact will be to help retain trainees in research careers and thus build a diverse biomedical and behavioral workforce possessing superior training and high professional commitment, thus aligning with NIGMS goals and providing a return on their original research investment.

项目概要/摘要 多样化的生物医学和行为劳动力对于国家的健康至关重要，但保留 事实证明，研究职业中的多样化受训者具有挑战性，导师培训是一种干预措施。 承诺帮助确保不同的学员坚持他们的职业道路； 另一个目标是科学传播促进卓越研究 (SCOARE)。 计划是为研究导师提供知识和技能导师给他们不同的学员 有效地掌握科学传播的原则和实践，成功的基本技能 SCOARE 课程设计整合了基于研究的要素： 讲种族或民族英语的受训者可能会体验研究环境 与其他人不同的是，在口语、写作和演示实践中进行有效的指导 影响学员坚持研究事业的意愿 SCOARE的长期目标是加强。 通过 SciComm 为研究实习生提供多样化的导师，了解他们的职业意图并培养他们的能力 在目标 1 中，将设计一个导师研讨会，让参与者了解原因和方式。 受训者 SciComm 技能与生产力、结果期望、种族/民族身份和职业相互作用 意图；解释SciComm收购的原则；为导师提供可行有效的实践； 改进指导；并提供持续的在线强化和支持，以实现目标 2 的评估。 研讨会和在线资源将衡量导师对新实践的实施和学员的收益 生产力、结果期望、职业意向以及研究中增加的舒适感 在目标 3 中，评估结果将为协调员培训的设计和开发提供信息。 计划，以前的研讨会参与者将有机会学习如何举办研讨会 其他，从而扩大该计划的范围 将为这两个研讨会制定课程和材料。 该计划的评估结果将公开发布，包括 1) 全面。 开发和评估 SciComm 指导研讨会；2) 全面开发和评估的 SciComm 辅导员培训；以及 3) 总共培训了至少 500 名导师和 45 名 SCOARE 辅导员。 该计划将意义重大，因为它将授权导师利用 SciComm 技能开发来培训 既善于沟通又多元化的研究人员队伍将具有创新性，因为它是 以语言、教学和社会认知证据为基础，解决了之间的强大联系 其影响将有助于留住受训者的研究生涯，从而建立起自己的研究生涯。 一支多元化的生物医学和行为劳动力队伍，接受过良好的培训和高度专业化 承诺，从而与 NIGMS 目标保持一致，并为其原始研究投资提供回报。
