Facilitating Entering Mentoring Training

During this 6-session online “train-the-trainer” workshop, participants are introduced to an abbreviated form of Entering Mentoring, a mentor training curriculum that addresses the following key topics: aligning expectations, reflecting on diversity and establishing a practice of inclusion, articulating your mentoring philosophy, fostering independence, maintaining effective communication, promoting mentee research/scholarship self-efficacy, and promoting professional development.


Participants will learn evidence-based approaches to implementing research mentor training and gain the knowledge, confidence, and facilitation skills needed to design and implement training at their institution or organization. 


Participants are ...
  1. Faculty, instructors, staff, or administrators.

  2. Working with mentors whose trainees are undergraduate students, graduate students, postdocs, or junior faculty. Our workshop materials are currently optimized for use across science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine fields but can be extrapolated to other disciplines.

  3. Committed to implementing research mentor training workshops at their institution or organization within the next year.

  4. Teams of two are encouraged but not required. No more than three from the same institution will be accepted.
