The NRMN is a nationwide consortium of biomedical professionals and institutions collaborating to provide trainees across the biomedical, behavioral, clinical and social sciences with mentorship and professional development programming. As postdocs and R.A.s, we can sign up to be both mentors and mentees. The NRMN website links mentees with mentors to promote career development, mentoring skills, and diversity in science. This is an opportunity to network and promote our own career advancement as well as gain experience with mentoring young scientists. NRMN also provides free grant writing workshops and mentor training programs. Join NRNM Congratulations to the Hazen and Mark Brown Labs!
