You’re invited to attend the inaugural UCI School of Medicine Mentorship & Research Awards, where we will celebrate scientists, faculty and staff for their excellence in research and faculty mentorship.
Date: Thursday, January 20, 2022
Time: 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
Location: Virtual via Zoom
The Mentorship & Research Awards celebration was established this year and will continue as an annual event. Each year, Research Awardees will be nominated by their colleagues and mentors, and recognized for research excellence and outstanding academic achievement in basic science and clinical research. Mentorship Awardees will be nominated by their peers, recognized for their excellence in faculty mentoring, then interviewed, along with their mentee and an academic affairs associate dean to discuss their experience, insights, and advice on faculty mentoring.
Please note, that due to COVID-19 restrictions, the celebration will be held via Zoom, rather than in-person as previously planned. Please take a moment to congratulate this year’s winners for their outstanding achievements, and register below.
