Training modules and guidelines on mentorship
What is this about?
This resource provides a guidebook for teaching RCR to culturally diverse trainee groups and three online training modules on mentorship.
Why is this important?
High quality mentorship is an enabler of RI. This is because mentorship provides to postgraduate students the guidance needed to conduct reliable research.
For whom is this important?
What are the best practices?
- A set of guidelines to develop mentorship training designed to take into account ethical ambiguities from a cultural perspective and identifying beliefs, attitudes, values and behaviors that could impact interpretation or acceptance of institutional standards and guidelines (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia guidebook).
- A set of online modules designed to offer the user an open-ended learning environment. This is to say that there is no set path that all users must follow, while there will be a strongly suggested path, the module will not force each user into an area. Users are free to decide how to use the materials presented to suit their individual needs and interests. Of course, our wish is that the user will review all sections of the module in depth along our suggested path (Columbia University training module)
- A set of online modules on RCR topics developed with the support of RCR Education Grants awarded by the Office of Research Integrity to the Faculty Development and Instructional Design Center at Northern Illinois University (Northern Illinois University training module).
- A series of video vignettes and discussion guide to provoke discussion, facilitate problem-solving and identify alternate courses of action (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia training module).
