Program Mentors and Activities
At Oklahoma Center for Geroscience and Healthy Brain Aging, program mentors typically come from within the professional aging community. A mentor from outside the aging community may be assigned a faculty member focused on aging research to serve as a co-mentor.
Along with you, mentors attend the fall/spring semester weekly seminar series and weekly journal club sponsored by the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation and Oklahoma Center for Geroscience and Healthy Brain Aging. In addition, mentors meet regularly with you to assess and discuss progress on your defined project, including short-term and long-term/future goals. Mentors also assist you in submitting both publications and grant applications, as appropriate.
