Supplementary file 2_A research training ecosystem model (RTEM) to guide development of effective research training programs.docx Janet L. Branchaw (22250838) Amanda R. Butz (22250841) Education Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory Comprehensive Researcher Development Framework program development program evaluation research training research trainee <p>Research training is a long, complicated, and idiosyncratic process, impacted by the nature of each research project, individual trainee characteristics, and factors in the research training environment. Consequently, designing effective research training programs is challenging. To address this challenge, we adapted Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory to create a Research Training Ecosystem Model (RTEM) that incorporates factors that impact research trainee growth and development as identified in the published literature. Research training program directors can use the RTEM to identify and map their unique research training ecosystem, then use their map to develop and iteratively revise learning opportunities in their program that leverage the positive impacts and mitigate the negative impacts of individual characteristics and environmental factors.</p> 2026-09-15T05:30:11Z Dataset Dataset 10.3389/feduc.2026.1924657.s003 https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Supplementary_file_2_A_research_training_ecosystem_model_RTEM_to_guide_development_of_effective_research_training_programs_docx/33771556 CC BY 4.0
