Research Mentoring

Start by joining our listserv and Teams community for information and updates on research mentoring and mentor development opportunities on campus.
Research Mentoring Certificate
The purpose of the Research Mentoring Certificate is to increase the capacity of the University of Utah to provide high-quality research mentoring. Participation in the program is available to University of Utah students, post-docs, staff, and faculty. The certificate involves six classes presented in Canvas course format, accompanied by five live meetings.
These live/synchronous meetings use case studies to demonstrate issues that may arise in mentor-mentee relationships and are intended to facilitate conversation and provide an opportunity for participants to work through problems collaboratively. Topics covered in the online classes and the case studies are organized around core mentor training competencies grounded in academic research (e.g. Pfund et al. 2013.) and modified based on participant feedback and facilitator expertise.
Earn your certificate in one of two ways:
Individual Classes
