Mentoring across differences: Introducing hidden curriculum competencies for scientific mentors
The 16 competencies, grouped into four domains (Foundation, Career, Science, and Overcoming Bias), collectively offer a comprehensive approach for mentors to build trust, support mentee career development, overcome practical barriers to mentee engagement in research, and actively combat bias. Our conceptual framework offers structured guidance for mentors and mentor training programs, identifying the skills needed to foster inclusive academic environments and enhance URSW retention and success.
