Fellowship Faculty Mentors
Each fellow is guided by at least two mentors, a methodological mentor with methodological expertise relevant to the fellow's research and a substantive mentor with expertise in the fellow's research area of interest. Substantive mentors may have appointments in any of the Northwestern University Schools (e.g., Feinberg School of Medicine, Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, McCormick School of Engineering).
If neither mentor is a member of the Executive Committee of the Integrated Fellowship, a member of the committee serves as a liaison mentor.
