Abstract

This paper is for applied research scientists and any scientists who train students to do research. It consists of two parts: (1) an open door hands-on research training program that helped garner a US Presidential Award for Mentoring and election as Fellow, American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS); (2) a Covid-19 Pandemic virtual research training program that provides readings and You Tubes for the students followed by an opportunity to develop new research ideas. The co-authors of this paper are the students who pioneered the virtual program. In the hands-on program of 263 students who reported their career outcomes to Steve, 52 achieved doctoral degrees and became professors and researchers, 62 became M. D.s or M. D.-Ph. D.s, 33 became dentists, 17 pharmacists, 97 became scientists in research and/or education and 2 became lawyers. Many of the students co-authored lab published papers, abstracts and national poster presentations. The program’s success resulted from an open door policy that invited all interested students to try their hands at research, regardless of their grade point averages, and organizational components that recruited advanced students to help train new students. Universities and other organizations often look favorably on student mentoring in tenure and promotion decisions. Many students can possibly result in more good publications. Readers can determine, by examining the student co-authored papers in the reference section of this paper, if this expanded student-involved program leads to “good publications,” as AAAS and the NSF/White House review committee suggested it did.

    AB  - This paper is for applied research scientists and any scientists who train students to do research. It consists of two parts: (1) an open door hands-on research training program that helped garner a US Presidential Award for Mentoring and election as Fellow, American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS); (2) a Covid-19 Pandemic virtual research training program that provides readings and You Tubes for the students followed by an opportunity to develop new research ideas. The co-authors of this paper are the students who pioneered the virtual program. In the hands-on program of 263 students who reported their career outcomes to Steve, 52 achieved doctoral degrees and became professors and researchers, 62 became M. D.s or M. D.-Ph. D.s, 33 became dentists, 17 pharmacists, 97 became scientists in research and/or education and 2 became lawyers. Many of the students co-authored lab published papers, abstracts and national poster presentations. The program’s success resulted from an open door policy that invited all interested students to try their hands at research, regardless of their grade point averages, and organizational components that recruited advanced students to help train new students. Universities and other organizations often look favorably on student mentoring in tenure and promotion decisions. Many students can possibly result in more good publications. Readers can determine, by examining the student co-authored papers in the reference section of this paper, if this expanded student-involved program leads to “good publications,” as AAAS and the NSF/White House review committee suggested it did.
