Finding a Mentor
You must find a mentor before submitting your research proposal. Your mentor must be an NU faculty member.

How to Find a Mentor
- Search our Mentor Directory for faculty who have recently indicated they'd like to mentor students.
- Talk to your AOSC group leader about your interests and ask for recommendations
- Talk to fellow students! To see what students have published and with whom, check out this list of students who have most recently worked with mentors you may have identified.
- Look at last year's M2 posters to get an idea of the type of research others have done and then contact the students/faculty to learn more
- Talk to Liza Rivnay (Associate director of Student Research) who can connect you to students and faculty.
- Contact a department liaison: These are faculty members who have expressed interest in connecting you to faculty in their department based on your research interests. This is a regularly updating list and our plan is to have every department (clinical and research) represented
