What is team mentoring?
A critical element of the CRSP is the use of team mentoring. For this program, team mentoring means more than having multiple mentors working with the mentee; it means having mentors working together as a team to contribute to the mentee’s career development. The concept was developed through the NIH Roadmap initiative, which found that “the scale and complexity of today’s biomedical research problems increasingly demands that scientists move beyond the confines of their own discipline and explore new organizational models for team science.” Today’s research requires bringing together the perspectives of multiple disciplines to examine a research question right from the beginning. This multidisciplinary approach allows us to develop and conduct research projects that are new and innovative and that would not be possible using mentors from a single discipline or mentors from multiple disciplines working individually with a mentee. It is the synergy created when investigators from multip
