Abstract

Sustaining innovation in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) requires collaborative problem-solving, particularly as we work to address complex global issues. Effective mentoring strategies are essential in accomplishing this goal by helping support diverse talent that will strengthen the future of STEMM. Multiple studies have shown that mentorship is positively related to graduate students’ persistence in research productivity, research self-efficacy, rate of degree completion, and program satisfaction.
