The topics below are derived from the CITI RCR mentoring module. Mentoring affects students' feelings of belonging in a program. We must showcase the impact that advisor/mentee relationships have on the research process. The mentor is meant to act as a coach/sponsor in the developing career of their mentee.
- An advisor who does not celebrate their mentee's successes.
- An advisor who does not share resources and opportunities with their mentee(s).
- A mentee who does not actively participate in their own success.
- Power imbalances between advisors and mentees
- Conflicts between a student's personal work style and the work expectations of their lab.
- A mentee who feels their advisor is not approachable (hard to talk to).
- Unclear communication.
- An advisor who shows interest in the success of other students than their own.
- An advisor who places administrative and work-related roadblocks to prevent students from graduating.
- An advisor who is more interested in cutting-edge research and brings in more money for their lab/department.
- A Mentee who feels their work is not special
- An advisor who is more interested in protecting the "prestige" of their reputation than cultivating research skills in mentees
- A student feels shunned by their lab for (insert reason).
- A student must ask a third-party faculty member for help in addressing destructive behaviors when they are not comfortable talking with their advisor
