# UTHealth/MDACC MSTP Alumni Mentoring Program

> **NIH NIH T32** · UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS HLTH SCI CTR HOUSTON · 2021 · $75,600

## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY
Alumni of academic programs are among the best mentors for trainees as they provide trainees a direct lineage of success,
and mentors are motivated by a sense of allegiance to the program and its trainees. We propose the creation of a network
of alumni mentors to support and advise our MSTP students during the final years in the MSTP and into the most
vulnerable periods of their post graduate careers, from residency to independent investigator. Beginning with facilitated
interactions and alumni mentor training, a framework for recurring virtual and in-person meetings and parameters for
accountability will be established as we initiate this program. The goal of this project is to increase the number of
graduates pursuing research as a major component of their future careers.
