Investigators interested in attending the workshop are asked to complete the Registration Form. The registration deadline is Monday, September 1st, 2022 (with applications for travel scholarships due July 22nd). Registrants accepted to participate in the workshop
will be notified by email the week of September 14th, 2022.
The two-day workshop is an intensive and interactive meeting designed to provide faculty in HIV research with the tools for more effective mentoring, especially of mentees of diversity (defined mainly as those from underrepresented racial/ethnic minorities). The workshop discusses barriers related to being an early career investigator of diversity (e.g., microaggressions, unconscious bias, intersectionality). It will feature didactic and interactive sessions on practical tips for mentoring, including sessions on distance mentoring, funding sources for mentoring efforts, time management, leadership styles, manuscript writing, grant writing, individual development plans, teaching work-life balance to mentees, alternative funding strategies, forming teams, etc. Descriptions and findings from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd workshops are linked, along with longitudinal outcomes across our first seven mentor cohorts and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mentoring.
Travel and lodging scholarships are available to support airfare/hotel for selected applicants based on need. Potential participants interested in applying for the travel scholarship must have involvement in HIV research. Please register for the scholarship as indicated on the Registration Form by July 22nd, 2022. Investigators interested in applying for a travel and lodging scholarship should attach their CV along with a cover letter indicating their interest in the workshop and your interest in the mentoring training to the form.
