- Being Better Faculty Research Mentors (BBFRM): Sponsored by CFE and NC TraCS, BBFRM is intended for faculty members interested in improving their mentoring relationships with their mentees (mentees can be postdocs, graduate students, undergraduates, or even other junior faculty members) to help these different groups of mentees be successful researchers in their stages of careers. BBFRM consists of 8 1-hour sessions and engages a broad discipline of faculty researchers, emphasizing the importance of inclusive mentoring throughout the curriculum. You must be willing to commit to all 8 sessions to participate in the program.
The next BBFRM training will occur in April 2017. If interested, complete this form to let us know of your availability in April 2017.
