Research Mentor Awards
Annually, our faculty are recognized for their outstanding dedication and passion for mentoring students, residents, fellows, and junior faculty with the Research Mentor Awards. In 2019, we expanded this recognition to include the valuable contributions of junior faculty. To be nominated for this award, faculty must demonstrate:
- Continuous contribution to the growth and development of students, trainees, staff, fellows, and junior faculty in their area of research and pursuit of research goals;
- A willingness to contribute to the strength of the overall research activities and research training in the Department of Pediatrics;
- A strong independent research program;
- The attributes of a positive career role model;
- Evidence of leadership, compassion and constructive feedback to their students, trainees, staff, and colleagues.
