We are excited to announce that registration is now open for the Fall 2025 CHLA/TSRI Mentor Training Program (MTP). Following the format of training from the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research (CIMER), the Mentor Training Program will provide a three-part, virtual training via Microsoft Teams covering topics related to improving and strengthening research mentoring relationships.
