Research, Advising and Mentoring Professionals
About RAMP
The Research, Advising and Mentoring Professionals (RAMP) is a five-year initiative funded by the National Institutes of Health.
Our goal is simple but powerful: to enhance the skills, knowledge, and confidence of faculty, graduate students, and research staff in holistic mentoring — an approach that supports undergraduate students' mental, physical, and behavioral well-being, biomedical research skills, and academic advising.
Our Approach
Launching Fall 2025, our first cohort of 15 participants will begin an intensive, year-long mentor training program.
Key features include:
-
Supportive, customized training to foster a strong network of mentors.
-
Holistic mentoring strategies covering academic advising, research mentoring, and psychosocial support.
-
Individualized curriculum based on personalized assessments of each mentor's:
-
Knowledge and experience
-
Undergraduate students’ needs
-
Institutional resources and policies
-
Although we work with cohorts, each participant receives a personalized development plan to maximize their impact as a mentor in the biomedical sciences.
