Building Capacity for Rigorous Health Research Through Grant Writing Coaching.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) aims to enhance capacity in the biomedical research workforce through mentorship, professional development, and networking. This study focuses on the Strategic Empowerment Tailored for Health Equity Investigators (NRMN-SETH) program, which supports early-stage investigators (ESIs), including those from underrepresented groups, in developing grant-writing skills. Using a realist evaluation framework, this study explores the contexts, mechanisms, and outcomes contributing to the program's effectiveness.
methodsA directed content analysis approach was employed, guided by the realist evaluation framework. Data sources included speaker slides, moderator notes, and participant observations from the 2024 RCMI NRMN-SETH session. Context-mechanism-outcome configurations were analyzed to identify key stakeholders, enabling factors, and barriers to success.
resultsFive key mechanisms emerged: social support, peer accountability, knowledge of grant-writing strategies, technical grant-writing knowledge, and access to mentoring. Critical contexts included protected time for grant writing, access to subject-matter experts, and participant readiness. Institutional leadership support and cross-institutional collaborations were identified as essential for sustainability.
conclusionsThe NRMN-SETH program effectively supports ESIs through mentorship and technical guidance, fostering equitable participation in biomedical research. Future efforts should focus on institutional investment in mentorship, grant readiness, and expanded access to subject-matter experts to enhance the program's scalability and long-term impact.
