All PIs that serve as mentors of IBSC Trainees have an annual mentorship training requirement detailed within the Training Program Requirements. Annual Mentor Training is required to ensure the continual improvement and development of all those who participate in IBSC Training Programs; to help ensure the mentoring environment; pedagogical environment; and laboratory environment are respectful and contribute to the development of both Trainee and Mentor.
The IBSC highly recommends that Advanced Topics in Equity-Minded Mentoring workshop offered by the UCSC Teaching and Learning Center, formerly referred to as CITL. The IBSC also recommends the “Scientific Communication Advances Research Excellence” or SCOARE workshop series offered by MD Anderson.
A copy of this report will be emailed to the Mentor/PI email provided. If you have any questions regarding this form, have any issues, or would like to recommend a workshop/training for other PIs/Mentors, please contact the IBSC.
