Purpose of Mentorship

Recognize faculty talents and expand upon them Prepare next generation of clinical and translational

research Ensure retention of faculty Sustain a culture of academic achievement

History of Mentorship at CNMC

Initiated formal one-on-one program in 2000

Success as evidenced by increase in numbers K and K-like awardees in increasing number of mentored awards Trainees and graduates of Master Teachers, IPPCR, K30 (DCCRTC)

programs, attendance at ASAP courses Federal and other peer reviewed grants/contracts Leadership in discipline specific organizations especially APS/SPR

With Growth in Faculty A New Approach Needed

Gap analyses and White Paper (2006) done with help of annual SAC review, Working Groups and K retreat

recommendations- Transition from mentored (K) to independent (R) investigators critical to growth and reputation

- Conflicting demands: clinical versus “academic” time

- Paucity of midlevel faculty mentors

- Infrastructure for clinical research limits achievement

Task Force Recommendations

Establish “next generation” of mentoring through Master Mentor Group

Recognize mentorship as part of annual goals and objectives process

Establish Bench-to-Bedside Professorial Rounds

- integration of COEs and CRI Focus ASAP curriculum Increase networking opportunities for K awardees

Master Mentor Group: Who are they?

Established in 2008 Consists of 16 CRI and COE midlevel and senior faculty

with funded clinical and translational research and history of successful mentorship

Responsive to concept of interdisciplinary research and integration of clinical and research enterprise

Meet every other month

Master Mentor Group Activities

Participate in ASAP lectures, K30 curriculum and advise on modifications of same

Orchestrate annual K retreat Annually, orient fellows to CRI resources and graduate

students to clinical opportunities Participate in “sourcing” mentors at and outside of

CNMC and developing mentorship teams Future

- tools for mentees, like Individual Academic Career Plan (IACP)- pre-grant submission reviews- fellows “concept” and feasibility review

Team Science and Mentorship: Guiding Principles

Individual creativity preserved while taking advantage of team synergy

Motivation for and support of collaborative approach to answering questions

Communication is key Integrity, trust, respect and sharing regardless of

“status”

Team Science and Mentorship: Common attributes / disparate constructs

Top down, one on one “guidance” subsumed by peer to peer interactions

Communication, integrity, trust, respect and sharing is the same

Too soon to tell how mentee will flourish in team science environment

Team Science and Mentorship: Options

Team mentorship – common in K awards Peer to peer mentorship – great for critiquing grants,

manuscripts and some academic “way funding” Multiple mentors for different aspects of academic life – scientific, career, work life balance, etc.
