ELEMENTS OF THE
MENTOR REVIEW
The Mentor Review asks mentors to share information about their mentoring plan, evaluate key components of the Student Proposal, and respond to a final set of supplemental questions.
​
Mentoring Plan
In this section, mentors will describe their plan for supporting their student should the student be accepted to SPIRE. This plan should address the intended frequency of contact between the student and the mentor, how the mentor will help the student develop any skills necessary for the project, and milestones the mentor hopes the student will meet during the eight-week program.
Evaluation of the Student Proposal
Mentors will be asked to rate their students’ responses in the "Project Description" and "Project Timeline" sections of the application on a scale of “Excellent” to “Weak” using a rubric provided by OUR.
​
​
Supplemental Questions
In the event that multiple students have submitted a SPIRE Proposal with one individual listed as their mentor, the mentor will be asked to indicate the degree to which they would prioritize funding each of the students' proposals. Mentors will also be asked to provide information regarding Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval for Student Proposals involving Human Subjects Research.
