NRMN Showcase: Jan Abramson, MS
|
|
"After conversations with Dr. Chris Pfund, I and a core group of the NORDP Mentoring Committee entered into larger discussions with Dr. Pfund and others at CIMER to obtain permission to adapt the curriculum for professional staff mentors and mentees. A team from the Mentoring Committee has been working together to create case studies that parallel the ones in Entering Mentoring. It is a great group of dedicated research development professionals; we have been meeting every other Friday morning for the past two years. We have had the opportunity to beta test case studies at NORDP annual conferences, on our campuses, and with the full Mentoring Committee." -Abramson

MyNRMN Enhancements & Highlights
|
MyNRMN was built from the ground up with the specific needs of our NRMN members in mind. Our Development Team is always working to enhance the existing features in MyNRMN as well as creating new mechanisms to promote diversity and advancement within the STEM fields via mentoring and networking.
In this issue as we close out Mentoring Month, we want to give a special shout-out to the Ask a Mentor feature and share some recent additions to the MyNRMN features family.

 The Science of Effective Mentoring in Science, Technology, Engineering, Medicine, and Mathematics (STEMM)
The quality, vigor, and innovation of the U.S. science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) enterprise depend on increasing the diversity of individuals, research teams, and leadership in STEMM fields. This in turn requires the advancement of women, individuals from racial/ethnic groups historically underrepresented in STEMM, and first-generation students at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Effective, high-quality, and sustainable mentoring relationships for diverse individuals across career stages are essential in supporting student success (e.g., performance, persistence) in STEMM fields, especially for many members of these underrepresented populations.

The Department of PHYSIOLOGY AND ANATOMY at the University of North Texas Health Science Center would like to welcome you to the 2nd Women's Cardiovascular and Brain Health Symposium (WCBH2020). We hope that you enjoy the
program
that we have created for you.
Our goals are to a) promote research addressing women's cardiovascular and brain health, b) provide the opportunity for students and postdoctoral fellows to present their work, c) foster regional and local research collaborations, and d) raise awareness about the importance of women's health research. NRMN will have a table at registration.

15th Annual Texas Conference on Health Disparities
University of North Texas Health Science Center
|
The overall theme for the conference is
"Community Approaches to Health Equity". Health equity is achieved when every person has an opportunity to reach their full potential and no one is disadvantaged because of social circumstances or health disparities. Racial/ethnic minority populations, socioeconomically disadvantaged populations, and rural populations continue to share a disproportionate burden of diseases and adverse health conditions. Because disparities in health outcomes persist among these groups, action must be taken to understand how communities are engaged in identifying and addressing social determinants of health and improve conditions through changes at the local, state, and national level. This conference will provide evidence-based approaches to assess and respond to public health needs, develop a qualified workforce and data-driven models of successful implementation.
