Compact Between Biomedical Graduate Students and Their Research Advisors

Abstract

These guiding principles, known as the Compact Between Biomedical Graduate Students and Their Research Advisors, are intended to support the development of a positive mentoring relationship between the pre-doctoral student and their research advisor. A successful student-mentor relationship requires commitment from the student, mentor,graduate program, and institution. This document offers a set of broad guidelines which are meant to initiate discussions at the local and national levels about the student- mentor relationship.
