Although conceptual frameworks of mentoring and mentoring toolkits have been developed by and for researchers in LMIC settings, few mentor training programs have been implemented and evaluated in these settings. We created, implemented, and evaluated a 9-month, certificate-level mentorship training program to strengthen the pipeline of HIV and TB researchers in South Africa. Differentiating features of the program included careful contextualization of mentorship tools and approaches, inclusion of a leadership curriculum to improve participant ability to work effectively in teams and organizations, and attention to processes that promote interinstitutional collaboration in mentorship. Twelve mid-career researchers graduated from the first cohort of the program. Among participants, we observed significant longitudinal improvement in mentorship competencies, increased numbers of network connections in multiple domains of collaboration, and high levels of satisfaction. We anticipate that the program description and results will be useful to researchers, research institutions, and funders seeking to build research mentorship and leadership capacity in LMIC settings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.21-0072","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,16]],"date-time":"2021-08-16T13:35:25Z","timestamp":1629120925000},"page":"1317-1325","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Strengthening the Mentorship and Leadership Capacity of HIV\/AIDS and Tuberculosis Researchers in South Africa"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"105","author":[{"given":"Mayur M.","family":"Desai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1Global Health Leadership Initiative, Yale School of Public Health, New Haven, Connecticut;"},{"name":"2Department of Chronic Disease Epidemiology, Yale School of Public Health, New Haven, Connecticut;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"N\u00fckte","family":"G\u00f6\u00e7","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Global Health Leadership Initiative, Yale School of Public Health, New Haven, Connecticut;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tobias","family":"Chirwa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3School of Public Health, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lenore","family":"Manderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3School of Public Health, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa;"},{"name":"4School of Social Sciences, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Salome","family":"Charalambous","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3School of Public Health, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa;"},{"name":"5The Aurum Institute, Johannesburg, South Africa;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leslie A.","family":"Curry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Global Health Leadership Initiative, Yale School of Public Health, New Haven, Connecticut;"},{"name":"6Department of Health Policy and Management, Yale School of Public Health, New Haven, Connecticut"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erika","family":"Linnander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Global Health Leadership Initiative, Yale School of Public Health, New Haven, Connecticut;"},{"name":"6Department of Health Policy and Management, Yale School of Public Health, New Haven, Connecticut"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2795","container-title":["The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/view\/journals\/tpmd\/105\/5\/article-p1317.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/tpmd\/105\/5\/article-p1317.xml","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,3]],"date-time":"2021-11-03T14:33:21Z","timestamp":1635950001000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/view\/journals\/tpmd\/105\/5\/article-p1317.xml"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,3]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4269\/ajtmh.21-0072","relation":{},"ISSN":["0002-9637","1476-1645"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0002-9637","type":"print"},{"value":"1476-1645","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,3]]}}}
