Faculty Workshop in Mentoring Biomedical PhD Students


The NIH is requiring faculty to be trained in how to mentor PhD students. Offered jointly by NJ ACTS, the School of Graduate Studies and the Biotech Program, these workshops for faculty in the biological sciences center on new case studies each time. They make our programs more competitive for training grants and pre-doctoral fellowships. All faculty, and especially members of the Academy of Mentors and junior faculty, are strongly encouraged to attend.
