Mentoring


CFAR actively collaborates with the UAB Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) and the Department of Medicine to leverage existing mentoring resources. Visit the UAB CCTS Training Academy website for funding, mentoring, and career development resources. Contact Mirjam-Colette Kempf or Mary Thielen for more information.

All CFAR Developmental Pilot awardees must have a CFAR-affiliated mentor to facilitate career development. A mentor is identified as part of the pilot application process. Ensure the mentor/ collaborator relationship includes the following:
a.     Expectations for the mentoring/collaborative experience. Expectations regarding the time and frequency of meetings, which may include time spent on-site at the CFAR home institution.
b.     The timetable for the project, which may include time spent on site with the mentor as a visiting scientist at the mentor’s institution to foster collaboration and mentoring.
c.     Expectations about collaboration on this project (i.e., authorship of presentations and publications).
