The MURS spans the range of mentoring experienced by undergraduate researchers– from positive mentoring experiences such as technical and psychosocial support to negative experiences with mentors such as mentor inaccessibility and abusive supervision.

As noted in the paper, don't use MURS results from 1 student about 1 mentor to make evaluative judgments. Use results from the MURS to identify patterns over time or broader trends to make decisions about how to support mentors to improve. See @CIMERproject for resources.

@CURinAction Do you direct an ugrad research program? Consider using the whole MURS or its dimensions to characterize the mentoring experiences of ugrads in your programs. Then use the results to identify areas of mentoring strength and support mentors in making improvements.

Our paper presents robust evidence regarding the validity of the MURS, showing that sum scores on the MURS and scores on its dimensions can be used to evaluate undergraduate researchers’ mentoring experiences.

Good news = most ugrads experience + research mentoring. Bad news = ugrads experience . - mentoring. ⬇️ MURS scores ~ ⬇️ post-research scientific self-efficacy, scientific identity, research task values, and research career intentions, after controlling for pre-research levels.

Thrilled to share our new measure: the Mentoring in Undergraduate Research Survey (MURS)! Led by @LimeriLisa & grounded in work from @triple_tuma when he was an #NSFREU student. Thanks to the NSF IUSE program for supporting this work! #NSFfunded.
