The NIH Office of Intramural Training & Education (OITE) is pleased to offer the Raising A Resilient Scientist series for faculty, staff scientists, and administrators who mentor students and postdoctoral fellows in the biomedical, behavioral, and social sciences. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity that will cover a variety of topics with a specific focus on communication and shared problem-solving to help trainees deal with the inevitable setbacks experienced in high-knowledge environments. The goal of the Raising a Resilient Scientist series is to promote the mental health and well-being of the academic research community by supporting faculty and administrators to develop self-management, relationship management, and mentoring skills. There will be five units in the series and start on November 9, 2022; each unit will consist of a 75-minute lecture followed by a 1-hour facilitated discussion with peers. 

Previous participants found participation very valuable, and the tools presented were practical and actionable. Here is what those who participated in the series have to say:

• “Informative workshop that I think all faculty should be required to attend. Making this a requirement for mentoring teams for fellowship and training grants would be a great approach! They need to be invested in mentoring and training, as much as training fellows.”
• “Thank you! I've done a lot of mentoring workshops/training but feel like this one is already taking things to another level.”
• “This course needs to be offered, again and again, as such an important resource in any academic curriculum.”

There is no charge for participation, but advanced registration is required. For more information, and to register, please visit the NIH OITE webpage.  Participation in the entire series is recommended but is not required.
