The goal of the Research Men<strong>to</strong>ring Program at Rush University Medical Center<br />

is <strong>to</strong> prepare junior faculty <strong>member</strong>s <strong>to</strong> lead independent, funded programs of<br />

translational research. To further this mission, a series of writing accountability groups<br />

was established <strong>to</strong> help mentees increase their publication productivity. We used a<br />

peer-men<strong>to</strong>ring approach <strong>to</strong> engender a sense of community among mentees. We<br />

describe the structure and process of the writing groups and initial outcomes.<br />

In 2009, the GFA Research and Project Development Committee initiated a process<br />

<strong>to</strong> stimulate collaborative projects across the GFA <strong>member</strong>ship. The review process<br />

includes: general inquiry, committee chair appraisal, template completion, committee<br />

review, and notification. The submission template includes six areas with relative<br />

weights of importance <strong>to</strong> assist the review. Seven proposals were reviewed, six<br />

endorsed, and several presented nationally. The process has resulted in advancing<br />

scholarly collaboration with the AAMC.<br />
