The Delaware CTR offers mentoring opportunities that will amplify the impact of existing infrastructure to educate and mentor a multidisciplinary group of researchers to help them in their pursuit of successful careers in clinical and translational research as well as helping to build their mentorship capability, expanding and educating the next generation of potential senior mentors.

We will be implementing a multi-institutional-team approach which will create an integrated system that provides peer support among mentees who have accessible primary mentors at their home institutions, with the support of senior mentors across ACCEL sites. Tools to improve the mentor-mentee relationship are available such as a Mentoring Plan template and a Mentoring Compact.

Researchers of all expertise levels will have access to tools, resources, and peer-level support groups. If you are interested in learning more about our ACCEL Mentoring, the Mentor network, or our ACCEL Junior Investigators Network, please complete the request form or email mentoring@nemours.org.

The ACCEL M/AC (Mentoring and Advisory Council) has been established to help early-stage career and mid-career investigators get their grants funded and publications accepted in top journals.  When a junior investigator presents in front of the M/AC, they will be asked to describe their research strategy/plan and answer questions from senior mentors.  The senior mentors will provide feedback on the proposed research and help connect the junior investigator with any resources they might need to move ahead. If you are interested in presenting in front of the ACCEL M/AC please contact mentoring@nemours.org.
