The importance of ethnic and gender representation in academic medicine is of paramount importance. While mentoring effectively attracts and retains underrepresented individuals, scientists from underrepresented groups face barriers to high-quality mentorship. The developmental network model by Higgins and Kram suggests that a variety of people with unique knowledge, connections, and resources can help propel an individual's career and personal growth. This study experimentally tested the outcomes of a workshop series and mentorship program to assist early-career biomedical investigators from predominantly minority institutions establish and maintain developmental networks. This study provides preliminary insights into the characteristics of these developmental networks for investigators with different funding goals and how these networks evolve, potentially impacting career trajectories.
种族和性别代表性在学术医学领域至关重要。虽然有效的指导能有效吸引和留住代表性不足的个体，但来自这些群体的科学家在获得高质量指导方面面临障碍。希金斯和克拉姆提出的发展网络模型表明，具有独特知识、人脉和资源的各类人士可以助力个人的职业发展和个人成长。本研究通过实验测试了一个研讨会系列和指导计划的效果，以帮助主要来自少数族裔机构的早期生物医学研究人员建立和维持发展网络。这项研究初步洞察了具有不同资助目标的研究人员发展网络的特征，以及这些网络如何演变，这可能会影响职业轨迹。
