The Office of Training Grant Support organizes educational opportunities designed to engage the training grant community in relevant topics in the administration and support of training grants. While these events are largely informational, they are intended to contribute to professional growth and development for training grant administrators. When future offerings are available they will be provided below as well as shared by email to the training grant administrators listserv. A detailed list of past events and associated documents can be found below. Training grant related sessions provided by NIH are also included below.
Upcoming Event(s):
Advancing Research Mentoring Practice (ARMP) from WISCIENCE
When: Ongoing. Please check the website for opportunities at the bottom of the page.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) mentor training requirements emphasize the competencies addressed in the evidence-based research mentor training curriculum, Entering Mentoring, developed by scholars at UW-Madison. Research using this curriculum indicates that at least four but ideally eight hours of training is optimal. Training is offered using this curriculum at no cost for STEMM faculty by WISCIENCE at UW-Madison in the Advancing Research Mentoring Practice (ARMP) program.
