The TMED Award for Excellence in Graduate Student Supervision recognizes those supervisors who demonstrate a capacity and robust history of excellence in advising, monitoring, and mentoring graduate students. Excellence is judged on the quality of supervision and mentorship in facilitating or providing the acquisition of skills and resources needed for students to succeed as translational researchers. The criteria for the award reflect supervisors who inspire students to strive for their career academic goals, push boundaries in academia or research, offer and provide high-quality feedback and advice, and, more broadly, support a culture of supervisory excellence within TMED. These supervisors must also be committed to upholding our program mandate, which includes promoting diversity, inclusivity, and equity and providing educational experiences that will build upon the principles of fairness and inclusiveness in both formal and informal learning settings.
