Research Mentor Training

At UMass Amherst, we strive to help our faculty become more effective mentors of their graduate students, postdocs, and undergraduate researchers as an important part of building our campus community. We are proud to offer Research Mentor Training and additional resources to help you hone your skills in this important area of professional development.

Research Mentor Training

The Graduate School offers Research Mentor Training for faculty who mentor graduate students, postdocs, and undergraduates in research. This training is based on material developed by the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research (CIMER), sister organization of the National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN). This well-crafted program has been implemented nationwide and has well-documented positive impacts on both mentors and mentees.
