Dear Cecilia, I believe that MAP discontinued its mentoring project due to underutilization--although I welcome correction if this is a misunderstanding. For this reason, before launching a mentoring project or applying for a grant, it would be good to investigate the conditions that enable such projects to be successful. I recommend that you contact Kristen Renwick Monroe at UC Irvine to find out more about establishing a mentoring system. She chaired the American Political Science Association's Task Force on Mentoring some years ago. I believe the APSA has a successful mentoring program, but I don't know the details of how it works. cheers, Liz Anderson University of Michigan, Ann Arbor On Sun, Aug 30, 2015 at 11:37 PM, Cecilea Mun <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > JMU Security Warning: The message below contains a link to a non-JMU > service where fraudulent sites are often found.
