This Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) workshop addresses the ethics of mentoring with an emphasis on the essential components of creating and maintaining a healthy mentor-mentee relationship.
Mentoring is a key component of the research process. In the university environment, faculty members are responsible for the mentoring of undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows as they learn how to conduct research. Other mentoring relationships are also found in the university; for example, senior faculty mentoring junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows mentoring graduate students, and students mentoring other students. Some of the most important learning and professional development occurs within these mentoring relationships. Thus, it is critical that mentoring relationships be healthy and productive.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to answer the following questions:
- What are the qualities of a good mentor?
- What are the qualities of a good mentee?
- What are the essential components of a good mentor-mentee relationship?
- What ethical concerns sometimes arise within a mentor-mentee relationship and what can be done about them?
