MENTORING NIH Clarifies Policy on Postdoc Mentoring In response to a request from the National Postdoctoral Association, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has clarified its policy regarding the mentoring of postdoctoral scholars supported on its research grants. The new policy makes it clear that Principal Investigators (P.I.s) engaged in mentoring postdocs supported on their research grants may bill that time as part of their "effort reporting." This is an important clarification, as many P.I.s and postdocs supported on research grants have expressed concern about the permissibility of mentoring and professional development activities when 100 percent of their time is billed to a research grant. Visit the NPA website "News Item" for further details. Useful information about mentoring has been
made available by The Graduate School. Compact Between Postdoctoral Appointees and Their Mentors, Association of American Medical Colleges "Rules of the Mandoli Lab & Authorship Policies," information from Dr. Dina Mandoli, Department of Biology, University of Washington Information on
