Mentorship is one catalytic factor to unleash individuals’ potential for discovery, curiosity, and participation in research. Mentoring relationships provide developmental spaces in which students’ skills are honed and pathways into STEM fields can be discovered. Positive mentoring and interpersonal connections built through networking can aid in performance and retention. Motivated by this, the Lamat Institute identifies, scales, and disseminates resources for concrete practices that motivate and support research and learning environments through evidence-based mentoring practices.
