Must a mentor be a U.S. citizen?
No.
Must a mentor have an M.D., a D.D.S., or a Ph.D. in nursing or public health?
No.
Must a mentor be located at my institution?
In most cases, yes. Mentors should be close enough to ensure regular interaction and supervision. Please contact the AIMFD office with specific questions.
Is it possible to have more than one mentor?
Yes, in cases where there is a compelling scientific or career reason to have two mentors.
Will the National Program Office assist me in finding one?
No.
What happens if a mentor leaves an institution during the course of the award?
