For more information on team mentoring, please refer to the team mentoring contract and the frequently asked questions. The team mentoring packet should include the following:

- The mentors and mentee will meet on a regular basis. The planned frequency of meetings should be indicated. (In most cases, the primary mentors meet together with the mentee every week. The primary mentors, mentee, and other mentors meet together every month. Alternative meeting plans should be discussed in the letter.)
- Team mentors will attend meetings of the Multidisciplinary Advisory Committee every 6 months when their mentee is presenting.
- Team mentors will participate in the 1-day team mentoring training retreat to obtain or enhance skills in team mentoring.
- Team mentors will participate in biannual evaluations and assessments of the team mentoring relationship.
- An NIH biosketch for each mentor.
