Guidelines for RCR Mentoring
- First and always, attend to your everyday behaviors and interactions. You serve as either a positive or a negative example for others.
- Realize RCR is a continuing process. It's not one and done.
- Focus on relatable and real-world content for your research and activities.
- Use the RCR Mentorship Suite with your mentee to:
- assess their skills
- ensure completion of appropriate training
- develop an individual development plan
- Use the Mentoring Agreement to articulate the goals and plans of a mentoring relationship.
- Use additional mentoring resources to provide training, some of which are included below.
- Follow your plan(s)!
- Ask for feedback from your mentees.
