The MEOW will be made up of fifteen established investigators from relevant department, colleges, and centers with expertise in RDAR’s programmatic focus. The MEOW provides a systematic way for RDAR Leadership to connect with mentors, department and unit leaders, and Center administration. A monthly MEOW meeting will provide constant feedback loops and provides mentors the ability to share successful approaches to mentoring. These meetings will also provide a forum to recognize and pursue synergistic opportunities for COBRE collaborations.
