Mentoring is the single most important factor that contributes to academic success. Those with mentors are more likely to make timely progress toward their degrees, and make renewed commitments to their professions. This collaboration allows mentees to meet the various challenges of their careers. Mentoring is a personal as well as a professional relationship.
The Mentor's responsibilities include:
Providing leadership for the development of mentee's research project based on common interests;
Devote at least 5% effort towards interaction with mentee through regular communication by phone and/or email;
Assist with planning the mid-year visits to the mentor's laboratory;
The mentor will also review grant and manuscript writing skills;
Mentee and mentor will outline a strategy for developing grant application and plans for submission to NHLBI within 2 years of completing the PRIDE program;
Establish long term collaborations with mentees to increase the probability of a successful independent research career.
