  1. Purpose of Mentorship • Recognize faculty talents and expand upon them • Prepare next generation of clinical and translational research • Ensure retention of faculty • Sustain a culture of academic achievement

  2. History of Mentorship at CNMC • Initiated formal one-on-one program in 2000 • Success as evidenced by increase in numbers • K and K-like awardees in increasing number of mentored awards • Trainees and graduates of Master Teachers, IPPCR, K30 (DCCRTC) programs, attendance at ASAP courses • Federal and other peer reviewed grants/contracts • Leadership in discipline specific organizations especially APS/SPR

  3. With Growth in Faculty A New Approach Needed • Gap analyses and White Paper (2006) done with help of annual SAC review, Working Groups and K retreat recommendations • Transition from mentored (K) to independent (R) investigators critical to growth and reputation • Conflicting demands: clinical versus “academic” time • Paucity of midlevel faculty mentors • Infrastructure for clinical research limits achievement

  4. Task Force Recommendations • Establish “next generation” of mentoring through Master Mentor Group • Recognize mentorship as part of annual goals and objectives process • Establish Bench-to-Bedside Professorial Rounds - integration of COEs and CRI • Focus ASAP curriculum • Increase networking opportunities for K awardees

  5. Master Mentor Group: Who are they? • Established in 2008 • Consists of 16 CRI and COE midlevel and senior faculty with funded clinical and translational research and history of successful mentorship • Responsive to concept of interdisciplinary research and integration of clinical and research enterprise • Meet every other month

  6. Master Mentor Group Activities • Participate in ASAP lectures, K30 curriculum and advise on modifications of same • Orchestrate annual K retreat • Annually, orient fellows to CRI resources and graduate students to clinical opportunities • Participate in “sourcing” mentors at and outside of CNMC and developing mentorship teams • Future -tools for mentees, like Individual Academic Career Plan (IACP) -pre-grant submission reviews - fellows “concept” and feasibility review

  7. Team Science and Mentorship: Guiding Principles • Individual creativity preserved while taking advantage of team synergy • Motivation for and support of collaborative approach to answering questions • Communication is key • Integrity, trust, respect and sharing regardless of “status”

  8. Team Science and Mentorship: Common attributes / disparate constructs • Top down, one on one “guidance” subsumed by peer to peer interactions • Communication, integrity, trust, respect and sharing is the same • Too soon to tell how mentee will flourish in team science environment

  9. Team Science and Mentorship: Options • Team mentorship – common in K awards • Peer to peer mentorship – great for critiquing grants, manuscripts and some academic “way funding” • Multiple mentors for different aspects of academic life – scientific, career, work life balance, etc.

  13. Planned Academic Programming, 2010

  14. Future Academic Programming • Increase core statistical, grant writing and editing support (CRI center specific) • Online posting of key sections of grants including facilities, education section and “model” grants • Improve distance learning capabilities • Develop scenario based leadership training curriculum • Establish communications skills training • Develop new tracks with defined expectations for clinician educator, clinician investigator

  15. Anyone with an ID for the ASAP portal (www.childrensnational.org/ASAP/) can find the videos by clicking the 'online training & archives' tab after logging in and following the topmost link on the page. It will prompt whether to view as a secure page (i.e., https://) and users should choose 'no' -- this will load a frame in the page that includes the ASAP, DCCTRC and LEND video modules, as well as slides where applicable. As of today we are operating in real-time with LEND and ASAP modules, and are working to get slides and menus posted for DCCTRC. 12/7/09
