Mentoring Resources

Advance RI-CTR is dedicated to the expansion and dissemination of the best practices in mentoring. As part of that principle, we provide the below list of resources.

Resources*

*New resources will be added periodically to support our mission of providing information on the current best practices in mentoring.
 
  • Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experience in Research
    • CIMER faculty and staff investigate approaches for improving research mentoring relationships for organizations and institutions. We develop, implement and evaluate mentor and mentee training using theoretically-grounded and evidence-based training interventions and investigations.
    • CIMER has a vast array of resources available at this link.
  • National Research Mentoring Network
  • The Science of Effective Mentorship in STEMM
  • Looking to be a Virtual Mentor? (Or find a Virtual Mentor?)
    • Explore the National Research Mentoring Network's Virtual Mentorship Platform, where mentees are recommended mentors based on compatibility and may invite one mentor at a time to  begin a 4-month guided virtual mentorship program. Postdocs, junior faculty, senior faculty, non-faculty researchers, and academic administrators may serve as mentors. Undergraduates, graduate students, and postdocs may serve as mentees.
  • Mentor Training from the University of Minnesota's CTSI

    • The Clinical and Translational Science Institute has developed free, self-paced, professional development courses designed to prepare faculty from a range of disciplines to be effective research mentors for junior faculty, post-doctoral fellows, and graduate students.
      • Expanding on their original course, “Optimizing the Practice of Mentoring” (~ 2 hrs) is now offered for Research Mentors of either
        • Graduate Students, Fellows, and Early-Career Faculty
        • Undergraduates.
      • A more recent new course focuses on Enhancing Motivation Using the CARES Mentoring Model (~75 min)
