Mentoring

Training, Education and Mentoring (TEAM) has established a comprehensive approach to mentored clinical and translational science (CTS) research training that includes a mentor-scholar matching program, a program to train junior faculty as mentors, and an assessment and evaluation program to determine mentor effectiveness

CTS scholars work with a primary faculty mentor with a successful, funded research program and a record of effective mentoring. The mentor’s role is to support the scholar in (1) formulating research plans, (2) disseminating scientific ideas, (3) managing both personnel and scholar time and effort, and (4) developing networking skills critical to collaborative team science.

A CTS scholar/mentor contract sets forth the parameters of the mentoring relationship. This contract establishes goals and objectives for the research project and evaluative criteria on how to measure achievement. Designed both as a training plan and a training exercise, this contract makes explicit expectations and implementation guidelines, and raises scholar-mentor awareness of the mentoring process.
