What is this service?

Have you and your research benefitted from the support of a mentor or peer mentor? Does your mentor or peer mentor have a track record of successfully mentoring students, fellows, staff, or early career faculty at the University of Michigan?

Consider nominating your mentor or peer mentor for the Distinguished Clinical & Translational Research Mentor Award or Peer Mentor Award. This award is part of MICHR's continuing efforts to foster a culture of learning, especially in the area of clinical and health research.

This award recognizes the value of mentoring at U-M in helping early career investigators to reach across disciplinary boundaries in pursuit of science.

New for 2024, MICHR is accepting nominations for a Peer Mentor. One faculty member and one staff member will be selected for the MICHR Peer Mentor Award.

MICHR and the NIH place a high priority on advancing equity in the mentoring research career progression. We encourage nominations of diverse mentors across the clinical and translational research spectrum.

The 2024 MICHR Mentor Award and Peer Mentor Award deadline is March 11. Find out more about submitting a nomination for a MICHR Mentor or a MICHR Peer Mentor.
