The Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research (CIMER), housed at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, is dedicated to advancing the science and practice of effective mentorship. CIMER is a trusted leader in mentor-mentee relationships, higher education, and workforce development. CIMER's researchers and practitioners are recognized experts in mentor-mentee relationships, organizational change, and talent development who have served as advisors to federal agencies (e.g., National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, Department of Energy), research organizations (universities, NGOs, industry), and groups providing policy advice (e.g., National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine). CIMER's breadth of expertise and experience working with large organizations uniquely positions it to advance large scale transformations in the culture of mentorship.
