MentorNet (www.MentorNet.net) was founded in 1997 as an innovative large-scale electronic mentoring strategy, pairing women studying engineering and related sciences at colleges and universities with female and male professionals in industry for yearlong, structured mentoring relationships, conducted via email. MentorNet has grown into an online community, leveraging its extensive web site, email, and other electronic communications technologies and related systems and software to offer structured one-on-one, group and peer mentoring for its members on a large scale. Over the last five years, MentorNet has matched nearly 10,000 undergraduate and graduate students with e-mentors working in industry and government in its One-on-One mentoring program; it has also received numerous requests from both students and faculty to support academic e-mentoring. Based on results of past work, evaluation findings and other research, the PI proposes to expand MentorNet into MentorNet ACE, a new project focused on substantially refining and expanding MentorNet.s programs to include e-mentoring services addressing the needs of women students and untenured faculty seeking or pursuing academic science and engineering careers. To that end, MentorNet plans to develop specialized components of its One-on-One Mentoring Program, enabling one-on-one mentoring relationships based on 1) matching graduate students and postdoctoral scholars with tenured faculty members as mentors, and 2) matching untenured faculty with tenured faculty mentors. MentorNet will develop a comprehensive approach for this project, with programmatic features tailored to the needs of the specific protege-mentor populations.

MentorNet（www.MentorNet.net）成立于1997年，是一个创新的大规模电子辅导战略，将在学院和大学学习工程和相关科学的妇女与工业界的男女专业人员配对，通过电子邮件建立长达一年的结构化辅导关系。辅导网已发展成为一个在线社区，利用其广泛的网站、电子邮件和其他电子通信技术及相关系统和软件，为其成员大规模提供结构化的一对一、小组和同侪辅导。 在过去的五年里，MentorNet已经将近10，000名本科生和研究生与在行业和政府工作的电子导师进行了一对一辅导计划;它还收到了来自学生和教师的许多请求，以支持学术电子辅导。 根据过去的工作成果、评价结果和其他研究，PI建议将MentorNet扩展为MentorNet ACE，这是一个新项目，重点是大幅改进和扩大MentorNet的方案，以包括电子辅导服务，满足寻求或追求学术科学和工程职业的女学生和非终身教职员工的需求。 为此，MentorNet计划开发其一对一导师计划的专业组件，基于1）将研究生和博士后学者与终身教职员工作为导师相匹配，以及2）将非终身教职员工与终身教职员工导师相匹配，实现一对一的导师关系。 辅导网将为这一项目制定一个全面的办法，并根据具体的被保护人-辅导人群体的需要制定方案。
