The "Engaged Mentoring" workshop is for faculty mentors of research trainees at any stage of training. This workshop is an evidence-based, interactive approach designed to elevate mentoring skills for engaging in productive, culturally responsive research mentoring relationships. These skills will support the success of both mentors and mentees. This training is responsive to the new NIGMS guidelines regarding the preparation of mentors involved in training grants.

This workshop aims to accelerate the process of becoming an effective research mentor by providing mentors with an intellectual framework, an opportunity to experiment with various methods, and a forum in which to solve mentoring dilemmas with the help of their peers. By the end of the workshop, mentors will have articulated their style and philosophy of mentoring and have a toolbox of strategies for approaching difficult mentoring situations. This series is adapted from the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research (CIMER) "Entering Mentoring" curriculum (Pfund, Branchaw, and Handelsman, 2014) and "Entering Research" (Branchaw, Butz, & Smith, 2019) and adapted with permission from W.H. Freeman/Macmillan Learning.
