项目摘要/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，但保留 事实证明，研究职业生涯中的不同受训人员具有挑战性。导师培训是一种干预措施，已经表明 承诺帮助确保不同的受训人员坚持他们的职业道路；培养科学家的身份认同是 又一个。科学传播促进卓越研究的目标(SCOARE) 该计划旨在为研究导师提供知识和技能，以指导他们不同的受训人员 有效地掌握科学交流的原则和实践，掌握成功的基本技能 在研究生涯中。SCOARE课程设计综合了基于研究的元素，研究表明 从小说着不同种族或民族的英语的受训者可能会体验到研究环境 不同于其他人，以及在口语、写作和演讲实践中的有效指导 影响受训者坚持研究事业的意图。SCOARE的长期目标是加强 通过为不同的研究实习生的导师提供SciComm来培养他们的职业意向和能力 训练。在目标1中，将设计一个导师研讨会，使参与者了解为什么以及如何 本培训生的本科生技能与生产力、结果预期、种族/民族认同和职业生涯相互作用 意向；解释收购本网站的原则；为导师提供可行和有效的实践 用于改进指导；并在网上提供持续的加强和支持。就目标2而言，对 研讨会和在线资源将衡量导师对新实践的实施情况和学员的收获 在工作效率、结果预期、职业意向和研究中增加的舒适感方面 环境。在目标3中，评价结果将为主持人培训的设计和发展提供信息 计划，以前的研讨会参与者将有机会学习如何将研讨会提供给 其他人，从而扩大了该计划的覆盖范围。两个工作坊的课程和教材都将制作完成 将向公众公布，并将传播评价结果。该计划的成果包括1)完全 开发和评估了本网站指导研讨会；2)全面开发和评估了本网站 辅导员培训；3)总共培训了至少500名导师和45名SCOARE辅导员。这个 该计划将具有重要意义，因为它将使导师能够利用本网站的技能发展来培训 既善于沟通又多元化的研究队伍；它将具有创新性，因为它是 以语言学、教育学和社会认知证据为基础，阐述了 语言、动机和身份。它的影响将是帮助留住受训人员从事研究工作，从而建立 多元化的生物医学和行为劳动力，拥有卓越的培训和高级专业知识 承诺，从而与NIGMS的目标保持一致，并提供其原始研究投资的回报。

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.
