Physicist Mentor Programs

Connecting Physicists and Undergraduates
The Physics Research Mentor Training Seminar is a facilitation guide to a training seminar for physics faculty, postdocs, and graduate students who are in mentorship roles.

The Research Mentor Training Guide is intended to help physics researchers improve their mentoring skills, and to improve the research experiences of the next generation of physicists.

Physics REU Leadership Group (PRLG)

Lending Your Wisdom and Time
All Physics REU site directors or their representatives are all members of the PRLG. Other undergraduate research program directors (for example from DMR or Astronomy) can also join the PRLG. Initiatives funded under NSF grants to the Physics REU Leadership group may be restricted to those members funded by the same program.
