UCF Office of Research’s Mentoring and Research Collaboration Program for Assistant/Associate/Full Professors This program is intended to pair UCF senior and junior faculty researchers in a mentoring relationship that will increase the probability of success to secure external research funding. Mentoring can be initiated by either mentor or mentee. Mentors and mentees do not need to be in the same department. Mentees selected for a mentoring award must submit a multi-year federal grant proposal as the lead principal investigator (PI) within one year of the mentoring award. For more information on the program, eligibility, deadlines, and to apply, please visit the link below. Applications must be submitted through the InfoReady portal (applications submitted directly via email to our office will not be accepted). |
