In order for this to happen, lab PIs must be positioned to support and nurture this process. Workshop presenters will review findings on graduate student mentorship in U.S. higher education, illuminating long-standing trends and identifying opportunities for effective inclusive mentoring and helping participants to consider strategies for sustaining equitable lab climates. Participants in this workshop will be able to: (1) Describe inequity within the research sciences; (2) Identify their role in creating inclusion; (3) Assess the degree to which inclusive practices have been enacted in their labs.<br \/>\n*Attendance at this session satisfies a CDP Certificate requirement.<\/p>\n<p>11:30 a.m. &#8211; 1:30 p.m.<br \/>\n<strong>Job Readiness for Career Success<\/strong><br \/>\nCara Mitnick, URI Graduate School<br \/>\nPeg Lamere,&nbsp;Toray Plastics Human Resources<\/p>\n<p>Following an introduction to the principles of job readiness, participants will break into consecutive sessions to build specific skills including developing a compelling CV and job application cover letter, preparing for job interviews, and salary negotiation.<\/p>\n<p>FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 2O21<br \/>\n9:00 &#8211; 11:45 a.m.<br \/>\n<strong>Research Grant Proposals 101*<\/strong><br \/>\nChristopher Lane, URI Biological Sciences<br \/>\nGeoff Bothun, URI Engineering and RI C-AIM<\/p>\n<p><em>The Big Picture<\/em> (9:00-10:00)<br \/>\nIn this segment, participants will learn about the proposal process, from finding relevant&nbsp;opportunities to submitting via the university, to the review process at NSF.
