This month, we wanted to shine a light on the important work being done by NRMN researchers.
The second phase of NRMN is underway with continued efforts to diversify the biomedical workforce through mentorship. One of the 11 research interventions doing this work is titled “Effectiveness of Innovative Research Mentor Interventions among Underrepresented Minority Faculty in the Southwest” led by Dr. Akshay Sood. His team recently published their study detailing the reliability and validity of two novel scales to measure organizational mentoring climate importance and availability at two public research universities.

In the development of future academic scientists, few individuals are more central to success than good mentors.
Mentors can help students navigate different career paths and grow their professional networks. They can be advocates, teachers, sounding boards, motivators, supporters and role models.
But what if mentors and their advisees don’t share the same racial, ethnic, cultural or socio-economic backgrounds? How can differences impact their relationship?

Measuring organizational mentoring climate: Importance and availability scales (Tigges et al.) Although organizational climate may affect faculty’s mentoring behaviors, there has not been any way to measure that climate. The purpose of this study was to test the reliability and validity of two novel scales to measure organizational mentoring climate importance and availability at two public research universities.
