Research rotations are intended to aid students and PIs in identifying permanent lab placements with faculty mentors who will serve as dissertation advisor. To serve as a student’s mentor, you must have a laboratory/research enterprise sufficiently robust to support the student throughout the student’s time in the PhD program. This requires demonstration of sufficient space and funding (typically extramural funding from major grants) to cover costs associated with mentoring a PhD student. By signing below, you indicate that you have a research portfolio and funding sufficient to support this student, that you will assume responsibility for such support if you and the student decide that you will be the student’s research mentor and the student will join your laboratory, and that you have discussed space, funding, and other expectations with the student.
