Abstract

Underrepresentation of Latinx nurse scientists limits the translation of culturally congruent interventions and research diversity. Peer mentorship and power-sharing frameworks have proven effective in promoting the retention and advancement of Latinx scholars. The Juntos model framework revitalizes and expands membership of the Conducting Research with Latinx Individuals, Families, and Communities Special Interest Group (Latinx SIG) within the Western Institute of Nursing. By fostering a peer mentorship network and leveraging the Latinx SIG as a collaboration hub, the Juntos program promotes professional growth and inclusion of Latinx nurse scientists and scholars. Strategies and outcomes provide a replicable framework to advance health equity.
