Faculty mentors of undergraduate researchers at public and private liberal arts colleges, community colleges, and branch campuses (collectively, PUIs) train over half the undergraduate STEM majors in the United States. Broadening participation in plant sciences, biodiversity sciences, and related disciplines requires recruiting and retaining faculty mentors with mentoring strategies that are effective for students from diverse backgrounds. Multiple training experiences for current and prospective PUI faculty will be held in conjunction with the BOTANY 2022 meeting, with the aims of broadening participation in the discipline and supporting STEM education at the undergraduate level.A program of three, varied events at BOTANY 2022 will be supported. First, a half-day workshop in which participants receive training in inclusive mentoring strategies that support successful undergraduate research experiences, will be offered. Workshop participants will explore how their social identities influence the mentor-mentee relationship and will learn how to help students become active contributors in the mentoring relationship and develop a mentoring mosaic to support their success. Second, a career panel on applying to and interviewing for positions at PUIs, intended for graduate students, postdocs, and their faculty mentors, will be convened. Finally, a networking event for all faculty and individuals interested in botany at PUIs will be held to aid in developing local and disciplinary networks for post-meeting collaborations in support of undergraduate research.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.

公立和私立文理学院、社区学院和分校（统称为pui）的本科研究人员的教师导师培养了美国一半以上的本科STEM专业学生。扩大对植物科学、生物多样性科学和相关学科的参与，需要招聘和留住教师导师，并采用对来自不同背景的学生有效的指导策略。在植物学2022年会议期间，将为现任和未来的PUI教师举办多次培训经验，目的是扩大对该学科的参与，并支持本科水平的STEM教育。2022年植物学年会将支持一个由三个不同活动组成的项目。首先，将提供为期半天的研讨会，让参与者接受包容性指导策略的培训，以支持成功的本科生研究经历。工作坊参与者将探讨他们的社会身份如何影响师徒关系，并将学习如何帮助学生成为师徒关系的积极贡献者，并发展一种支持他们成功的师徒关系。其次，将召开一个面向研究生、博士后及其导师的职业小组，讨论申请和面试PUIs职位的问题。最后，将为所有对植物感兴趣的教师和个人举办一个网络活动，以帮助发展当地和学科网络，以便在会后合作，支持本科生的研究。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
