The "Engaged Mentoring" series is for faculty mentors of research trainees at any stage of training. This program is an evidence-based, interactive approach designed to elevate mentoring skills for engaging in productive, culturally responsive research mentoring relationships. The program aims to accelerate the process of becoming an effective research mentor by providing mentors with an intellectual framework, an opportunity to experiment with various methods, and a forum in which to solve mentoring dilemmas with the help of their peers. By the end of the program, mentors will have articulated their style and philosophy of mentoring and have a toolbox of strategies for approaching difficult mentoring situations. These skills will support the success of both mentors and mentees, and it is responsive to the NIGMS guidelines regarding the preparation of mentors involved in training grants.

During this session, you’ll learn how your role fits within
the larger U‑M’s clinical research enterprise and why clinical research
professionals are essential to high-quality, ethical research. You’ll have
opportunities to build knowledge, ask questions, and reflect on how
communication—within your team, with participants, and especially during
informed consent—supports both participants and research teams. Through discussion
and interactive activities, you will explore the U-M research landscape, learn
about resources, and connect with your peers.
Who this is for:

This orientation is intended for individuals newly hired into a clinical
research role at U-M.
