The MAVEN Advisory Committee serves to evaluate the content and implementation of the MAVEN educational trial.

 

Under the leadership of Dr. Nancy Spector, the committee of experts in the field will be charged with reviewing curriculum topics against current best-practices, and in response to MAVEN senior scientist, faculty and mentor feedback.

 

The Advisory Committee will review evaluative metrics relative to the scientific integrity of the trial such as recruitment, enrollment, randomization, attendance, attrition, and acquisition of data essential to analysis of trial outcomes, such as career satisfaction, scientific productivity and career ascension.

Our Mentors

MAVEN Mentors have been selected for their outstanding history of mentoring and their record of accomplishment as scientists and as science leaders.

 

Attendees will be aligned with mentors from similar areas within the sciences, and receive both individualized career coaching, support for expansion of their professional network and guidance in the implementation of a culture changing project at their institution.

 

Additionally, attendees will receive best practices in mentorship training to enhance their own ability to successfully mentor under-represented scientists.
