As the current Program Year comes to a close, we would like to request all Trainees and their Mentors complete an Annual Program Evaluation to aid in the continual improvement of all Training Programs offered by the IBSC. This report is required for all IBSC Trainees, all UCSC Mentors, and all CSUMB Mentors (each will submit a separate report).

Feedback provided through this form will be provided to the IBSC Leadership as well as the External Advisory Board (EAB) for each respective program. IBSC Leadership and each EAB meets annually as part of Research Review Day to discuss all training Programs; feedback received; and planned modifications/interventions to enhance the Trainee experience and tangible benefit provided by each program.

Questions specific to a particular program are dynamically displayed based on the selected Training Program. For your electronic signature, please simply type your name and provide your email as requested by the form.

A copy of this report will be emailed to you. If you have any questions regarding this form or have any issues, please contact the IBSC.

The Annual Program Evaluation should take approximately 12-15 minutes to complete.
