## Abstract

Summary
The objective of the Supplement is to improve the assessment of mentoring, specifically in the
NIGMS training programs, but also in other programs at the University of Georgia. Programs
currently evaluate many aspects of their faculty, incoming students, curriculum, training
objectives and student outcomes, but mentoring per se is not explicitly evaluated. Since the
mentoring relationship is critical to the experiences of students, evaluating this relationship is
especially important. Assessment of mentoring will allow students and faculty to gain insight into
their mentoring performance relative to others, allowing them to modify practices or seek
training. In addition, assessment allows general strengths and weaknesses to be identified at
the program level and acted upon. To facilitate appropriate responses to assessment reports,
the proposed work will also develop recommendations based on the assessment outcomes to
be used by individuals and programs to improve their mentoring relationships. The overarching
goal is to generate tools that allow mentoring assessment, generate actionable reports, and
propose interventions that can be utilized iteratively, leading to long-term, sustained
improvement of the mentoring relationships experienced by students in the NIGMS training
programs and beyond. Such improvement will lead to better outcomes for students of all
backgrounds.
