Scaling evidence-based interventions: Examining factors promoting and limiting the dissemination of research mentor training.

Introduction: Mentorship education has been shown to positively impact the experiences of mentors and mentees. Methods: Using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), we examined self-reported data from surveys administered annually to Results: Factors associated with the inner setting domain were found to have the most impact on implementation efforts, with administrative support, leadership support, and interest from potential participants being the most significant predictors of implementation. Additionally, those who implemented were more likely to report receiving institutional support compared with those who did not implement the intervention. Those who did not implement were more likely to report the presence of perceived institutional barriers. Conclusions: The CFIR model provides a useful framework for understanding factors that promote and limit implementation outcomes of an evidence-based research mentor training intervention. Findings emphasize the role of institutional support to promote the implementation of research mentor training.
