Deadline extended: Apply for professional development certificates in mentoring and grant writing

[Amanda L Cornwall]

Dear MIT Postdocs,


I’m writing to let you know that the deadlines for the Grant Writing Training Certificate and Research Mentoring Certificate applications have been extended! You have one more week to get your applications in-- applications are now due October 23rd. If you are interested in deepening your mentoring practice or in becoming better prepared to take on grant applications, these are great opportunities for you.  Learn more and apply at the links below.


The IAP 2027 Research Mentoring Certificate<https://capd.mit.edu/pd-certificates/>, based on curriculum developed by the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research (CIMER), allows participants to explore their mentoring practice in preparation for their future roles as advisors, PI’s, and/or supervisors. The program emphasizes the fundamental importance of mentoring to the research culture of MIT. Participants meet for 6 hours, (3 in-person sessions during IAP) and work towards developing a mentoring philosophy statement. This certificate program is offered two times per year, typically in January and June.


The 2026-2027 Grant Writing Training Certificate<https://capd.mit.edu/pd-certificates/> provides postdocs and graduate students with a foundation in the grant writing process, from an overview of the landscape of research funding to progress of grant applications through the Institute and beyond. Central to the program are 8 hours of in-person seminars during IAP (January) facilitated by expert guest trainers, plus additional panels/discussions December - March. This certificate program is offered once per year.

Best regards,
Amanda Cornwall
