The Mentoring Liaison Program (MLP) supports Mentor Champions within existing training grant programs (i.e., T32s, K12s, R25s, T37s, D43s, and KL2). The basic structure of the liaison program is built on the strength of the more than 70 T/K/R/D programs currently in practice at WashU Medicine.
Benefits of the Mentoring Liaison Program
- Mentoring resources
- Guidelines to create a relevant mentoring curriculum
- Annual Retreat to share best practices
- Assistance with the Mentoring Component for training grant applications
The next Mentor Liaison Program Meeting will be November 21, 2025 from 2pm – 4pm.
Program-Specific Mentor Champion
Each training program identifies a Mentor Champion whose responsibility is to design a mentoring curriculum for the mentors and trainees within their specific training program. This individual will receive training and resources from the CRTC, which they can then modify for the specific needs of the individual T/K/R/D trainees.
Program-Specific Mentor Training
One of the main advantages of the Mentoring Liaison Program is the recognition that one size does not fit all in regard to training. The training will be individualized to best address each training program’s unique needs and opportunities. This structure promotes creativity within each training program and flexibility.
