You may nominate up to one individual for each award.  The required years of service as a faculty member (Instructor through Professor) at HMS/HSDM for each of these Awards are:

  • A. Clifford Barger Excellence in Mentoring Award - no minimum years of service
  • William Silen Lifetime Achievement in Mentoring Award - a minimum of 20 years of service (it needn't be continuous service)
  • Young Mentor Award – a maximum of 10 or less of years of service

Your recommendation should reflect the extent to which the mentor has provided sponsorship, encouragement and support for the career and/or personal development of yourself as well as for the career and/or personal development of other faculty, trainees, and students. Please be mindful when making your nomination that you are doing so for someone who merits recognition as an effective and outstanding mentor. It is not primarily for teachers.
 
The guidelines for submitting a nomination are as follows:

  • Nominations must include a narrative of how this individual's mentoring has affected your career and/or the careers of others.  Nominations without such will not be considered.  It is often helpful to provide specific anecdotes/examples about the mentor or ways in which the mentor has shown an investment in one’s professional and/or personal development.  The following are a few examples of the qualities one might look for in a mentor.
    • Long-term commitment to mentoring
    • Advisor/Guide
    • Developer of talent/Coach
    • Opener of doors/Sponsor
    • Interpreter of organizational and/or professional rules
    • Successful role model
