Mentoring in research plays a crucial role in shaping the development of emerging scholars and advancing scientific discovery. A good mentor provides guidance, expertise, and feedback, and helps mentees chart their careers and make crucial connections with other scientists.

The Center for Rehabilitation Outcomes Research has a long and proud tradition of mentoring post-doctoral fellows who have gone on to become leaders in their fields.
