Mentor Academy

2021 RFA Open Now

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.
