Positive and inclusive mentoring of undergraduate research students, particularly of students from historically underrepresented groups is critical. The Advancing Inclusive Mentoring (AIM) program was developed to share inclusive mentoring practices with mentors at undergraduate-focused campuses and was assessed across five minority-serving universities. Self-ratings of mentorship skill as very- and exceptionally developed increased by 58% after AIM completion, and 93% of participants indicated they were likely to change their mentoring following AIM. While 93% of mentors rated the AIM program as beneficial, and 88% found most or all six modules pertinent to their mentoring, campus variations existed in perceived benefit (87%-100%) and pertinence (80-97%). These results suggest that AIM is effective training for mentors of undergraduate researchers, including those from historically underrepresented groups.
对本科研究学生进行积极且包容的指导，尤其是对那些在历史上代表性不足群体的学生而言至关重要。推进包容性指导（AIM）项目旨在与以本科教育为主的校园中的导师分享包容性指导实践，并在五所少数族裔服务型大学中进行了评估。完成AIM后，自我评定为非常成熟和极其成熟的指导技能提高了58%，93%的参与者表示他们可能会在参加AIM后改变自己的指导方式。虽然93%的导师认为AIM项目有益，88%的人发现六个模块中的大多数或全部与他们的指导相关，但在感知到的益处（87%-100%）和相关性（80%-97%）方面存在校园差异。这些结果表明，AIM对本科研究人员的导师，包括那些来自历史上代表性不足群体的导师而言是有效的培训。
