Mentors Directory

Looking for a mentor?

The Mentors Directory provides a unique opportunity for deaf and hard-of-hearing (HoH) individuals interested in careers in research on hearing, balance, smell, taste, voice, speech or language. The Directory contains a list of principal investigators of NIDCD Extramural grants and NIDCD Intramural investigators who are committed to mentoring deaf and HoH students, postdoctoral fellows and junior scientists. It is searchable by

• Location/State

  Search for a Mentor

• NIDCD research areas (hearing, balance, smell, taste, voice, speech and language)
  
• Education level of the mentee

Give us your feedback about the Directory and your mentoring experience.

Inclusion as a mentor in the NIDCD Mentors Directory is completely voluntary and does not commit an investigator to provide mentorship to a given individual who contacts him or her. In addition, a successful mentor-mentee match carries no assurance of NIDCD funding for the mentee. This initiative is part of an action plan emerging from a recent NIDCD-sponsored workshop addressing research career opportunities for deaf individuals.
