How many people must serve on the mentor committee for my CCR grant application?
The primary purpose of the mentor committee is to foster the PI’s development of necessary professional skills for research independence by providing research, scientific, clinical, management, and leadership guidance. The specific roles and time commitments of each member of the mentor committee must be specified in the Career Development Plan and letters of support from each member of the committee must be provided. It is up to the discretion of the PI to determine how many mentors are appropriate.
