The Outstanding Mentor Award

A mentor can serve different purposes on different days, but they are endlessly interested in the quality of the learning experience and the well-being of their mentee. In short, they care.

It has been a long-standing tradition of the NIH Oxford-Cambridge Scholars Program to pause each year to recognize an outstanding mentor among the many faculty members who serve the Program across the NIH and at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Nominations for this honor come from those who are the fortunate recipients of outstanding mentoring – the mentees.
