Despite evidence of mentoring's importance in training researchers, studies to date have not yet determined which mentoring relationships have the most impact and what specific factors in those mentoring relationships contribute to key outcomes, such as the commitment to and persistence in research career paths for emerging researchers from diverse populations. Efforts to broaden participation and persistence in biomedical research careers require an understanding of why and how mentoring relationships work and their impact, not only to research training but also to promoting career advancement. This paper proposes core attributes of effective mentoring relationships, as supported by the literature and suggested by theoretical models of academic persistence. In addition, both existing and developing metrics for measuring the effectiveness of these attributes within mentoring relationships across diverse groups are presented, as well as preliminary data on these metrics from the authors' work.
尽管有证据表明指导在培养研究人员方面很重要，但迄今为止的研究尚未确定哪种指导关系影响最大，以及这些指导关系中的哪些具体因素有助于实现关键成果，比如不同群体的新兴研究人员对研究职业道路的投入和坚持。为扩大生物医学研究职业的参与度和坚持度所做的努力，需要了解指导关系为何以及如何发挥作用及其影响，这不仅关乎研究培训，还关乎促进职业发展。本文提出了有效指导关系的核心属性，这些属性得到了文献的支持，并由学术坚持的理论模型所暗示。此外，还介绍了用于衡量不同群体指导关系中这些属性有效性的现有和正在开发的指标，以及作者工作中关于这些指标的初步数据。
