CUNY Faculty Mentoring Program

Faculty mentorship plays a vital role in the success of the University. Through the Faculty Mentoring Program, junior faculty are provided with the direction and tools to enhance the professional skills that lead to academic advancement and scholarly recognition.

The goal of the Faculty Mentoring Program is to provide professional assistance to junior faculty members when structured support is not available from their departments or colleges.The Faculty Mentoring Program pairs senior faculty with early-career faculty members to foster grantwriting and facilitate grant proposal submission.

Postdoctoral Mentoring - America COMPETES ACT Compliance

The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and the CUNY Postdoctoral Development Program have developed a brief document ( HERE <rtf>) that provides details of University-wide mentoring resources available for CUNY postdoctoral researchers.  This document should prove useful for CUNY faculty submitting NSF proposals that include funding for postdoctoral support.
