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.

项目总结/摘要 多样化的生物医学和行为劳动力对国家的健康至关重要， 事实证明，研究职业中的不同受训者具有挑战性。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;培养作为一个科学家的身份是 另科学传播促进卓越研究（SCOARE） 该计划是为研究导师提供知识和技能，以指导他们的不同学员 有效地在科学交流的原则和实践，成功的基本技能， 在研究生涯中。SCOARE课程设计整合了基于研究的要素，研究表明， 说英语的种族或民族变体的受训者可以体验研究环境 与其他人不同，有效的指导在口语，写作和演示的实践中， 影响受训者坚持研究事业的意愿。SCOARE的长期目标是加强 通过向导师提供SciComm，培养不同研究学员的职业意向和能力 训练在目标1中，将设计一个导师讲习班，使参与者了解为什么和如何 受训者的SciComm技能与生产力、结果期望、种族/民族认同和职业相互作用 意图;解释SciComm收购的原则;为导师提供可行和有效的实践 改进指导;并在线提供持续的强化和支持。对于目标2， 讲习班和在线资源将衡量辅导员实施新做法的情况和学员的收获 在生产力，结果期望，职业生涯的意图，并增加舒适感的研究 环境在目标3中，评估结果将为设计和制定促进者培训提供信息 计划，前研讨会参与者将有机会学习如何将研讨会， 其他人，从而扩大该计划的范围。两个讲习班的课程和材料将由 评价结果将予以公布。该计划的成果包括：（1）充分 开发和评估了SciComm指导研讨会; 2）全面开发和评估了SciComm 促进者培训;以及3）总共至少培训了500名导师和45名SCOARE促进者。的 该计划将具有重要意义，因为它将使导师能够利用SciComm技能开发来培训 研究人员既熟练的沟通和多样化;它将是创新的，因为它是 基于语言学，教学学和社会认知证据，解决了之间的强大联系， 语言、动机和身份。其影响将是帮助留住研究职业的受训者，从而建立 多样化的生物医学和行为劳动力，拥有上级培训和高级专业知识， 这是一项承诺，从而与NIGMS的目标保持一致，并提供原始研究投资的回报。
