Updated Paper Chase Recommendations for Mentors: The Do’s and Don’ts

Do	Don’t
Ensure program commitment to the Paper Chase experiential activity and foster environment that encourages trainee collaboration.	Expect all groups of trainees to be enthusiastic about participating in the Paper Chase activity.
Schedule protected time to allow trainees preparation meetings and discussions focused on the Paper Chase project.	Anticipate final product to be ready for submission immediately after writing day.
Provide additional program time and encourage non-program unstructured time for trainees to interact and build relationships with each other.	Limit feedback regarding the common scientific principles.
Encourage program faculty to identify clinical research data that may be of interest to trainees and could be used for Paper Chase experiential activity.	Be unavailable. Some groups of trainees may need more support and guidance than other groups.
Provide ongoing mentoring and support to trainees in regard to managing aspects of team science and developing leadership skills.
Get training in providing discussions around cultural humility and facilitate these discussions throughout the research process.
Encourage consultation with multiple research faculty and senior collaborators.
Disseminate information to program and related stakeholders regarding success of the experience.
Be open to modifying the experience based on trainee and mentor feedback.
