Initiatives

The Nevada DRIVE Program

The Nevada DRIVE program is designed to promote Doctoral Research in Innovation, Vision and Excellence at the University of Nevada, Reno. All University doctoral programs are eligible to request funding for one or more full- or half- time GRA positions for the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 academic years. For each year, we anticipate that funding will be available to support approximately 20 full-time (20-hour/week) or 40 half-time (10-hour/week) research assistantships with a stipend of $25,000, or $12,500, respectively.

Deans should submit ranked proposals no later than January 31, 2021 to be considered for selection.

Mentoring Mentors

The Graduate School hosts two, 2-hour faculty “Mentoring Mentors” workshops open to all academic faculty, postdocs and other faculty with mentoring responsibilities. Workshops are 4-5 hours long and offer the opportunity to discuss mentoring with faculty peers. Establishing an ongoing, supportive network of faculty mentors is a key function of this initial workshop.
