CIMR is thrilled to support the revitalization of the mentoring academy!
The mentoring competencies for the academy are divided into six modules and are based on CIMER’s Entering Mentoring curricula which was designed to address the new NIGMS guidelines regarding the preparation of mentors involved in training grants. These guidelines state that participating faculty must receive training in effective, evidence-informed teaching and mentoring practices.
High-quality mentoring takes a commitment to ongoing reflection and engaging with topics related to better supporting students. These training modules are designed to provide space to share best practices, discuss challenges, learn new skills and reflect on ways to improve mentoring with research and internship settings. The goal of the PSU Mentoring Academy training is to equip faculty to become better mentors for their students.
In fall of 2024, we will launch a new set of opportunities for faculty research mentor training, stay tuned for more information.
