The NIH is requiring faculty to be trained in how to mentor PhD students and postdocs. We are therefore offering these workshops for faculty in the biological sciences with new case studies each time. This will make our programs more competitive for training grants and individual trainee fellowships.  All faculty are invited and junior faculty are strongly encouraged to attend.

12pm – 2pm (Lunch will be served)

IN PERSON ONLY: RWJMS Research Tower, Deans Conference Room 123, 675 Hoes Lane West, Piscataway

RSVP: https://rutgers.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2c6S4MsGObwzrVA

Topics and interactive case studies will include:

• Rationale for mentoring the mentors
• Principles in mentoring relationships
• Academic resources offered in biomedical sciences at Rutgers 
• Managing trainee projects (e.g. responsibilities of mentor and mentee, expectations for graduation)
• Funding for trainees (e.g. internal and external sources)
• Professional development for trainees (e.g. Individual Developmental Plans, career advising)
• Trainee issues (e.g. identifying mental health issues, avoiding bias, and improving communication)
