Mentoring Future Scientists: Evaluate Your Department
With the advice of mentoring experts, STEM trainees, and STEM department leaders from across the country, the Mentoring Future Scientists team at Future of Research has developed a set of six mentoring climate guidelines to measure excellence in STEM departments and training programs. To learn more about how the guidelines were developed, visit https://mentoringfuturesci.net/index.php/about-consortium/.

Use the explanatory flowcharts below to evaluate your department or program’s mentoring climate across our six categories.

Once we receive your submission, we’ll verify it (if you provide us with contact details), and include it in our crowdsourced database! All reports are listed anonymously.

For any questions or comments, please email info@futureofresearch.org, with “Mentoring” in the subject line.
