Abstract

To retain talented scientists in academia, there is a need for structural reform to postdoctoral researcher (postdoc) mentorship. These changes include mentorship training for postdocs and their mentors, formalizing postdoc mentorship networks and postdoc cohorts within a department, and incorporating mentorship development plans (MDPs) in funding decisions for principal investigators (PIs).
