AB  - Background. Improving mentorship may help decrease the shortage of young 
      investigators (graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and new investigators) 
      available to work as independent researchers in cardiovascular and respiratory 
      health. Objectives. To determine (1) the mentoring practices for trainees 
      affiliated with the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), Institute of 
      Circulatory and Respiratory Health (ICRH), (2) the positive attributes of 
      mentors, and (3) the recommendations regarding what makes good mentorship. 
      Methods. We conducted a survey and descriptive analysis of young investigators 
      with a CIHR Training and Salary Award from 2010 to 2013 or who submitted an 
      abstract to the ICRH 2014 Young Investigators Forum. Clinicians were compared to 
      nonclinicians. Results. Of 172 participants, 7.0% had no mentor. Only 43.6% had 
      defined goals and 40.7% had defined timelines, while 54.1% had informal forms of 
      mentorship. A significant proportion (33.1%) felt that their current mentorship 
      did not meet their needs. Among clinicians, 22.2% would not have chosen the same 
      mentor again versus 11.4% of nonclinicians. All participants favored mentors who 
      provided guidance on career and work-life balance. Suggestions for improved 
      mentoring included formal mentorship, increased networking, and quality 
      assurance. Conclusion. There is an important need to improve mentoring in 
      cardiovascular and respiratory health.
