Outstanding Mentor Award

The Outstanding Mentor Award was established by the HSPH Postdoctoral Association in 2010 to acknowledge the hard work of the many exceptional mentors who contribute to the intellectual growth, professional success, and well-being of postdocs and research associates at Harvard Chan.

The Award is based on nominations from postdocs, and is given out annually during the National Postdoc Appreciation Week . Through this award, the Postdoctoral Association and the communities at the school wish to encourage good mentoring and promote the excellent mentors at the school.
