The NRMN-CC has launched “Mentor Training for Research Development Professionals,” a new curriculum for training mentors of research development professionals. Research development professionals help researchers become more successful communicators, grant writers and advocates for their research. The curriculum was developed by Paula Carney ofLoyola University, Chicago, Jan Abramson of the University of Utah and Kathryn Partlow of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The authors are members of the National Organization of Research Development Professionals (NORDP) who saw an opportunity to add mentor training to the NORDP Mentoring Program. The resulting curriculum is an adaptation of the “Entering Mentoring” curriculum and was produced in collaboration with members of the ICTR, NRMN and the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research (CIMER) mentorship teams. The curriculum is publicly available on the CIMER website.

The Diversity Program Consortium Coordination and Evaluation Center at UCLA is supported by Office of the Director of the National Institutes of Health / National Institutes of General Medical Sciences under award number U54GM119024.
