Mentor of the Year Awards
The intramural scientific program of NICHD established two mentoring awards in 2008 to recognize individuals who have served as exceptional mentors to trainees in the institute. The awards are given annually, at the NICHD Intramural Scientific Retreat in September, to one investigator (tenured, tenure-track, staff clinician, or staff scientist) and to one fellow (postdoctoral, clinical, visiting, or research fellow).
