尽管有证据表明指导在培训研究人员方面的重要性，但迄今为止的研究尚未确定哪种指导关系影响最大，以及这些指导关系中的哪些具体因素有助于关键结果，例如来自不同人群的新兴研究人员对研究职业道路的承诺和坚持。努力扩大对生物医学研究事业的参与和坚持，需要理解师徒关系为什么和如何起作用及其影响，不仅对研究培训，而且对促进职业发展。本文提出了有效师徒关系的核心属性，并得到文献支持和学术坚持理论模型的建议。此外，还提供了现有的和正在开发的度量标准，用于度量跨不同群体的指导关系中这些属性的有效性，以及来自作者工作的这些度量标准的初步数据。
Despite evidence of mentoring's importance in training researchers, studies to date have not yet determined which mentoring relationships have the most impact and what specific factors in those mentoring relationships contribute to key outcomes, such as the commitment to and persistence in research career paths for emerging researchers from diverse populations. Efforts to broaden participation and persistence in biomedical research careers require an understanding of why and how mentoring relationships work and their impact, not only to research training but also to promoting career advancement. This paper proposes core attributes of effective mentoring relationships, as supported by the literature and suggested by theoretical models of academic persistence. In addition, both existing and developing metrics for measuring the effectiveness of these attributes within mentoring relationships across diverse groups are presented, as well as preliminary data on these metrics from the authors' work.
