Research priorities and capacity building that focus on the development of social work scholars at all stages of their careers are essential to the advancement of the social work profession. Moreover, designing and implementing mentoring programs that meet the specific needs of researchers from diverse racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds align with the Social Work Code of Ethics to center social justice and challenge systemic racism.

This interactive workshop, for scholars at all career stages, focuses on information dissemination related to different types of mentoring styles, structures and outcomes. In addition, mentoring opportunities, research career development, scholar networks, and leadership opportunities will be discussed. Case presentations of challenging situations, positive outcomes and reinforcements as well as examples for celebrating achievements, embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion, and supporting scholars’ success will be reviewed.

The workshop will include a panel discussion with research scholars at various faculty ranks and administrative responsibilities for mentor and research faculty development.

Learning Outcomes/ Objectives

Participants will be able to (1) describe various types of mentoring approach, structures and outcomes, (2) understand the importance of increasing awareness of diversity and equity in social work research and scholarship, and (3) identify action steps that are essential to supporting racial, ethnic and culturally diverse social work research scholars.
