Mentoring

Researcher and INBRE mentor Elizabeth Wellsandt, PT, DPT, PhD, works with an athlete in a Return-to-Sport training session at the the UNMC Physical Therapy Clinical Movement Analysis Lab.

Scientists Mentor INBRE Scholars

Investigators on the Nebraska INBRE Program's participating research campuses serve as invaluable mentors. 

Once new scholars are accepted into the program, they are able to find the researchers they would most like to work with during their first summer in the program.

New scholars are asked to choose at least five potential mentors, as some researchers may not be available for the summer.
