<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Join us for the 2025 LTER Strengthening Mentoring series this Spring! We use Entering Mentoring, an evidence-based mentoring approach specifically tailored to STEMM researchers.
<br>
<br>
Effective mentorship can set both mentees and mentors up for success, from small projects all the way through careers. Mentors will develop skills for engaging in productive and dynamic research mentoring relationships. These trainings are free to attend, but
space is limited, so <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/lternet.edu/stories/strengthen-mentoring-skills/*registrationform__;Iw!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!ZUkJkxlvy_S-Gh1m7Dby2m26k1AKtoyZppclsAMlG-uMltAuKBy_gS9iJ9wgnFwgcRA01X83KsL7sMfhURKX3fPEwHY$" target="_blank">
register today</a>!<br>
<br>
New and experienced mentors alike will find relevant content in this interactive workshop series. The course content is flexible and easily tailored to each individual mentor, and aims to help mentors grow more proficient, no matter where they are starting.
The four, 90 minute sessions in April and May are timed to help mentors prepare for the summer field season, but the skills are applicable to a broad range of experiences across ecology and beyond.
<br>
<br>
The course is open to all career stages. This might include graduate students advising REUs, postdocs with a field team, or faculty or staff establishing a research program. Those in doubt are encouraged to attend—the skills taught here apply to a wide range
of mentorship scenarios.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>The LTER Network is excited to announce new field safety training opportunities with the Fieldwork Initiative!
</b><br>
<br>
The FIEST Training is designed to prepare researchers for the challenges they may encounter during fieldwork. This program emphasizes the importance of personal safety and maintaining well-being while conducting research in various environments.<br>
<br>
Participants in the Fieldwork Initiative’s Fieldwork Initiative Ethics and Safety Training (FIEST) gain practical tools to identify, mitigate, and respond to risks in fieldwork environments. The training provides structured risk assessment frameworks, equipping
organizations with protocols to address logistical, legal, and ethical challenges in remote or high-risk research settings. It enhances incident preparedness by establishing clear procedures for handling emergencies, misconduct, or security threats.<br>
<br>
FIEST also strengthens fieldwork management efficiency by standardizing reporting mechanisms and safety protocols, ensuring that research teams operate within best practices that minimize risk exposure. The program includes scenario-based training modules,
enabling participants to apply risk management principles to real-world fieldwork conditions, improving decision-making under unpredictable circumstances.<br>
<br>
The LTER is offering two opportunities to participate. Click on the links below to choose a session that fits your schedule.<u></u><u></u></p>
