MENTORS (PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS)
Go to Mentor Interest Form
Who can be a mentor?
If you are currently a principal investigator on an NIH grant than you can apply for administrative supplements to support underrepresented populations at the high school to
junior faculty levels. Additionally, you should meet the following criteria:
- You (the Principal Investigator) should have a NIH grant with two or more years of support remaining at the time of a supplemental award.
- You must have a sincere interest in mentoring underrepresented applicants, and should provide a rewarding research experience.
What are the steps to submitting my application as a mentor?
- Go to: Mentor Interest Form
- Complete the questions and submit the electronic form describing your research areas and interests in mentoring underrepresented applicants.
- Give us your opinions of the website!!!
What career levels should be considered?
The NIH believes that by providing research opportunities for qualified individuals at various career levels, the number entering and remaining in health-related
research careers will increase. Accordingly, Principal Investigators are encouraged to consider administrative supplements under this program for candidates at the
following career levels:
- High School Students who have expressed an interest in the health-related sciences.
- Undergraduate Students who have demonstrated an interest in and wish to pursuing graduate level research training in health-related sciences.
- Post-Baccalaureate Students and Post-Master's Degree Students who have recently graduated and have demonstrated an interest and wish to pursue further graduate level training in health-related research sciences.
- Predoctoral Students who wish to develop their research capabilities in the health-related sciences.
- Individuals in Postdoctoral Training who wish to participate as postdoctoral researchers in ongoing research projects and career development experiences in preparation for an independent career in a health-related research.
- Faculty who wish to participate in ongoing research projects while further developing their own independent research potential.
- Established investigators who become disabled. This program will provide additional support for established NIH investigators and project leaders on components of program projects and center grants who become disabled. The additional support may be requested for assistance or special equipment that will facilitate a continuing contribution to the goals of the parent grant.
Once I submit the mentor application how do potential applicants contact me?
Students, post-docs, and junior faculty members will search the database for mentors that meet their research interests. Once they select a potential mentor, they will
submit an application directly to you.
What happens after an applicant contacts me?
-
Review the application and respond directly to the applicant. You may request for additional information (e.g. transcripts, letters of recommendation).
You may also suggest that the applicant visit the lab and/or conduct a phone interview. If you decided that both of you are a good match then.
-
Apply for a research supplement to the NIH Institute that awarded your current grant. Research supplement applications are accepted year round.
The usual turn around time is 8 weeks. If the supplement is awarded then.
- Contact the applicant and discuss next steps.
How many students/post-docs/junior faculty can I support at one time?
Usually, you can only request one applicant at a time. For additional information, please contact your Program Officer or
Institute Coordinator at the NIH agency that awarded
your current grant.
How are applicants paid?
Applicants are paid based upon their level of expertise. For more information please go to:
NIH Research Supplements to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research program.
To whom do I submit the research supplement application?
The process can be initiated by contacting your program officer or the Institute Coordinator at the NIH agency that awarded your current grant.You should ask for a
NIH Research Supplements to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research program.
Who sees the information I submit?
Professional information submitted by you regarding your research program and interest in mentoring underrepresented students will be stored in a database to allow applicants
to search for a mentor. NIH will maintain data on the number of people visiting the site and individual pages, the number of people completing mentoring and application forms,
and group-level demographic data on applicants. Any personal information provided by applicants will be submitted directly to potential mentors identified by the applicants, and
will not be maintained by NIH. For further information, please contact Ronald Abeles.
For information about the program, please refer to the NIH Research Supplements to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research program. If additional information is needed,
please contact one of the Institute Coordinators.
