The Mentor Academy is a 6-month program that provides training and support for mid-career faculty to enhance their knowledge and skills in both research- and career-related mentoring. Mentor Academy participation is also an opportunity to share experiences and problem solve/co-mentor one another to advance their skills.
The 20-hour evidence-based curriculum is adapted from one developed by the National Research Mentoring Network. Six major areas of competency are addressed:
- Maintaining effective communications
- Aligning expectations
- Assessing understanding
- Addressing equity and inclusion
- Fostering independence
- Promoting professional development
The Mentor Academy RFA is made available in the early fall of every year.
