The Chronicle of Mentoring and Coaching released a special issue featuring open access publications from Diversity Program Consortium (DPC) awardees. The journal is the premier bimonthly online academic publication of the Mentoring Institute at The University of New Mexico.
This Special Issue, “Mentorship Interventions Across Career Stages in Biomedical and Health Sciences Fields,” includes 15 articles presenting cutting-edge research, evaluations of mentorship interventions across career stages, and curriculum and tools related to mentorship, coaching, and leadership practices in the biomedical and health sciences fields.
Guest editors Christine Pfund and Christine Sorkness, from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and leaders for the National Research Mentoring Network Coordination Center, identified four overarching themes — expanding mentorship interventions, testing existing interventions, the importance of prepared facilitators to implement interventions, and new validated mentoring assessment instruments—as summarized in their Commentary.
The journal’s editorial team of Barbara Trube, Chief Editor, and William Martinez, Assistant Editor, worked with authors and reviewers on tight timelines. Trube explained that “each manuscript underwent a rigorous blind-review process by volunteer content and psychometric experts.” She added, “We want to extend gratitude to all who submitted and reviewed."
Authors include researchers from the Coordination and Evaluation Center at the University of California, Los Angeles, the BUilding Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD) grantees and the National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN).
