The Next Culture of Research

Welcome to the latest edition of the Next Culture of Research. As part of Research2030, UC's 10-year strategic plan for research, the Next Culture of Research builds respect and trust amongst researchers, facilitates communication and encourages the sharing of ideas and experiences. We foster internal and external collaboration, promote mentoring and provide support and training for research faculty, students and staff so they may achieve career progression and personal well-being.

I’m pleased to share information in this issue highlighting two new institutional-level initiatives supporting faculty – FRAME and our Faculty Fulbright Scholars programs. We all know how critical mentoring is for success, so I invite you to learn more on this topic from the recent NASEM Roundtable, which we highlight below.

Thank you for all you are doing to create and promote a positive and inclusive culture of research at the University of Cincinnati.

Roundtable on Mentorship, Well-being, and Professional Development

Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars are critical to scientific research. The research environments in which they work and learn, however, do not always address their mental, financial, and social well-being or facilitate their full ability to develop professionally and contribute to the STEMM research ecosystem.

The Faculty Retention, Advancement & Mentorship Evaluation (FRAME)

The University of Cincinnati is broadening work to grow inclusive excellence through a newly expanded program, the Faculty Retention, Advancement, & Mentorship Evaluation (FRAME) program, which is designed to build and sustain an academic research environment that fosters an equitable and civil culture in biomedical research by hiring, retaining, and promoting biomedical research faculty who use inclusive excellence strategies in their teaching, service, and/or research.

International Excellence: the Fulbright Program

The University of Cincinnati is leveraging the Fulbright Program to elevate our national and international reputation. Through Fulbright, UC faculty conduct groundbreaking research and develop foundational research relationships and partnerships globally, while also gaining valuable cultural insights. These experiences not only enrich participants' academic and personal growth but also reinforce UC's reputation as a globally engaged institution.
