A five-part virtual series including lectures and discussion groups for faculty, staff scientists, and administrators who mentor students and postdoctoral fellows in the biomedical, behavioral, and social sciences.
About the series
The goal of the 'Raising a Resilient Scientist' series is to promote the mental health and well-being of the academic research community by supporting faculty and administrators to develop self-management, relationship-management, and mentoring skills. A variety of topics will be covered with a specific focus on communication and shared problem-solving to help trainees deal with the inevitable setbacks experienced in high knowledge environments.
There are five units in the series; each unit will consist of a 60-minute online lecture followed by a 15-minute Q&A.
Note: These webinars are offered to our extramural community. Intramural participants, will receive an email invitation to register for this series or can contact OITE.
This series is accompanying our Becoming a Resilient Scientist (BRS) Series for trainees. To learn more about the effectiveness of BRS please read our publication: Becoming a Resilient Scientist series: an intervention program.
What past participants say
Previous participants found participation valuable, and the tools presented practical and actionable.
“Informative workshop that I think all faculty should be required to attend. Making this a requirement for mentoring teams for fellowship and training grants would be a great approach! They need to be invested in mentoring and training, as much as training fellows.”
“Thank you! I've done a lot of mentoring workshops/training but feel like this one is already taking things to another level.”
“This course needs to be offered again and again, such an important resource in any academic curriculum.”
