Mentoring Resources
UC Davis is providing free resources as mentoring toolkit. Toolkits provided by UC Davis are the resources and information you may need to enhance your job duties or excel your career.
National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN)
Through the national network, NRMN implements and disseminates innovative, evidence-based best practices to improve mentoring relationships at institutions across the country. NRMN connects highly knowledgeable and skilled mentors with motivated and diverse mentees, ranging from undergraduate students to early-career faculty, and facilitate long-term, culturally responsive interactions between them. NRMN is committed to establishing a culture in which historically underrepresented mentees successfully progress in their careers and contribute to the biomedical research enterprise.

The Science of Effective Mentoring in STEMM Effective mentors are critical in the development of undergraduate and graduate students in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM)—especially for many members of underrepresented and marginalized populations. The Science of Effective Mentoring in STEMM committee systematically compiled and analyzed current research on the characteristics, competencies, and behaviors of effective mentors and mentees in STEMM and developed a practical resource guide for mentoring practitioners to create and support viable, sustainable mentoring support systems.
The Science of Mentorship Podcast
In this series from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, you’ll hear personal stories about mentorship experiences from STEMM leaders, in their own words, to help you learn how evidence-based mentorship practices can help you develop the skills to engage in the most effective mentoring relationships possible.

Internships and Research Fellowships
Research internships are valuable ways for young scientists to gain exposure to toxicology, graduate studies, and opportunities in biomedical sciences. SOT encourages students considering a career in science to seek out research and internship experiences. The Society provides listings of opportunities and provides matching funding for some intern hosts.
The ASPET Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow (SURF) Awards introduce undergraduate students to pharmacology research. Our goal is to use authentic, mentored research experiences in pharmacology to heighten student interest in careers in research and related health care disciplines.
SURE Tox
The Summer Undergraduate Research Experience in Toxicology program at the University of Illinois will provide high quality research experiences for under-represented minority junior and senior undergraduate students during the summer academic break.
The Undergraduate Research and Mentoring Opportunities Tuskegee University DAES is excited to offer students a number of undergraduate research opportunities through faculty-funded projects by DAES faculty and its partners at Tuskegee University and other institutions across the U.S. and beyond. Due to the nature of funded for such opportunities, undergraduate research programs are always evolving, thus, we encourage you to visit our site often to learn about these and other opportunities.

Career Planning
The Graduate Group in Pharmacology and Toxicology (PTX) at the University of California, Davis, is an interdisciplinary program that combines coursework and experimental training in modern approaches to pharmacological and toxicological problems.
Now in its fourth year, the Envision UC Davis campus visit program enables California's most promising grad school hopefuls to develop an understanding and appreciation of graduate education. The program sponsors California senior undergraduates and recent bachelor's degree grads for an action-packed weekend on the Davis campus, allowing them to envision their future as a graduate student.
In PREP@UC Davis, we prepare postbaccalaureate students from disadvantaged backgrounds and historically marginalized groups (including individuals who have a disability that limits major life activities) to succeed in PhD programs in the biomedical sciences.
The University of Illinois’ Research Training Program in Toxicology and Environmental Health is a part of the larger, campus-wide Interdisciplinary Environmental Toxicology Program (IETP), which provides toxicology training to students and postdoctoral fellows trained in basic sciences such as endocrinology and reproductive biology. Our program is ideal for students who are interested in applying their basic knowledge in four areas of toxicological research: reproductive/endocrine toxicology, neurotoxicology, nutritional toxicology, and nanotoxicology. The Research Training Program is a T32 NIEHS Environmental Toxicology Training Program.
