NSF Grants: Require Mentoring Plan for Postdoctoral Funding
On January 5, 2009 the NSF implemented a significant change in the Proposal and Award Policy and Procedure Guide which impacts Postdoctoral Training. Specifically, all proposals requesting funding to support postdoctoral researchers must include a description of the mentoring activities that will be provided to such individuals. Proposals that do not include a separate section on mentoring activities will be returned without review.
The UTHSC-H Postdoctoral Training Program includes formal training in all areas mentioned in the new NSF Guide. The Office of Postdoctoral Affairs has a prepared a description of the training and mentoring activities offered to all UTHSC-H Postdoctoral Fellows. PI’s who have Postdoctoral Fellows in the Program should find this document useful for writing their description of the required mentoring plan. To view the general suggestions and a description of the Training Program, visit the Grants and Funding page on this site. For details of the UTSCH-H Postdoctoral Training Program visit the Training Program page also on this site.
