MINT WORKSHOP SERIES

REO has developed the Maximizing Investigator Networking Tools (MINT) program to help all our faculty in the adoption and utilization of the tools and resources needed to elevate their research profiles and prepare them for proposal submissions and scholarship. The series is ever-evolving, and currently includes getting our researchers set up on the following:

Scholars@TAMU – the database of researchers at Texas A&M, which allows you to find collaborators, experts, and resources here at our institution, also syncs with ORCiD to send your publications information to Interfolio F-180.
ORCiD – create your online CV to sync and populate your biographical information in all other platforms
SciENcv – now required by NSF and highly encouraged by multiple other funders for the creation of Biosketch and other supporting documents for proposals
Pivot Funding Database – licensed through TAMU to help our researchers identify funding opportunities relevant to their research and needs
