The deadline is August 23, 2024.

Using the curriculum created by CIMER: the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research, participants will actively engage in discussions on topics including the following, which have been identified by research mentors:

  • Aligning Expectations

  • Maintaining Effective Communication

  • Addressing Diversity & Ethics

  • Assessing Understanding & Fostering Independence

  • Promoting Professional Development

In addition, attendees will spend a portion of each session developing and refining their own mentoring action plans, applicable to federal grants which require mentoring plans for trainees.
