背景与目的：有效的指导对早期研究人员的成功至关重要，并与提高被指导者的生产力、自我效能和职业满意度有关。国家研究指导网络（NRMN）的使命是为生物医学、行为、临床和社会科学领域的所有学员提供基于证据的指导和专业发展规划，强调指导关系中多样性、包容性和文化的好处和挑战，以及更广泛的研究队伍。本文的目的是描述NRMN的结构和活动。主要亮点：NRMN作为导师和学员的国家培训中心，通过更好地调整期望、促进专业发展、保持有效沟通、解决公平和包容、评估理解、培养独立性和培养道德行为，努力改善他们的关系。培训在机构、区域培训或国家会议现场提供，也可通过同步和异步平台提供；不断增长的培训需求由NRMN的总辅导员干部来满足。NRMN为基金写作和其他专业发展项目提供以职业阶段为重点的指导模式。NRMN与来自美国国立卫生研究院赞助的多样性项目联盟（DPC）的不同利益相关者以及DPC以外的组织合作，共同努力实现共同的多样性目标。NRMN为跨职业发展阶段的学员和导师提供网络和所有NRMN计划产品的虚拟门户。NRMNet提供广泛的指导经验和资源，包括MyNRMN，指导虚拟指导计划，新闻，培训日历，视频和研讨会。NRMN的“培训教练”项目正在解决全国范围内的规模和可持续性问题，以便更多的高级研究人员在全国范围内实施教练模式。《创智赢家》为早期职业健康差异调查人员提供密集的审查和指导，重点是为研究生、博士后学员和初级教师撰写拨款。影响：来自不同角度的合作伙伴正在建设国家能力，并引发真正实现生物医学研究人员多样化和转型所需的体制变革。NRMN致力于利用资源实现可持续性、可扩展性和扩展范围的目标。
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Effective mentorship is critical to the success of early stage investigators, and has been linked to enhanced mentee productivity, self-efficacy, and career satisfaction. The mission of the National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) is to provide all trainees across the biomedical, behavioral, clinical, and social sciences with evidence-based mentorship and professional development programming that emphasizes the benefits and challenges of diversity, inclusivity, and culture within mentoring relationships, and more broadly the research workforce. The purpose of this paper is to describe the structure and activities of NRMN.KEY HIGHLIGHTS: NRMN serves as a national training hub for mentors and mentees striving to improve their relationships by better aligning expectations, promoting professional development, maintaining effective communication, addressing equity and inclusion, assessing understanding, fostering independence, and cultivating ethical behavior. Training is offered in-person at institutions, regional training, or national meetings, as well as via synchronous and asynchronous platforms; the growing training demand is being met by a cadre of NRMN Master Facilitators. NRMN offers career stage-focused coaching models for grant writing, and other professional development programs. NRMN partners with diverse stakeholders from the NIH-sponsored Diversity Program Consortium (DPC), as well as organizations outside the DPC to work synergistically towards common diversity goals. NRMN offers a virtual portal to the Network and all NRMN program offerings for mentees and mentors across career development stages. NRMNet provides access to a wide array of mentoring experiences and resources including MyNRMN, Guided Virtual Mentorship Program, news, training calendar, videos, and workshops. National scale and sustainability are being addressed by NRMN "Coaches-in-Training" offerings for more senior researchers to implement coaching models across the nation. "Shark Tanks" provide intensive review and coaching for early career health disparities investigators, focusing on grant writing for graduate students, postdoctoral trainees, and junior faculty.IMPLICATIONS: Partners from diverse perspectives are building the national capacity and sparking the institutional changes necessary to truly diversify and transform the biomedical research workforce. NRMN works to leverage resources towards the goals of sustainability, scalability, and expanded reach.
