Preceptor Eligibility: Preceptors must have an established practice site or research program, generally with a minimum of 5 years’ practice/research experience. Mentors will generally be members of the PRN cosponsoring the experience.
Experience Format/Duration: Training experiences may vary in length from a minimum of 5 days to a maximum of 4 weeks in person (not virtual/remote) with or without supplemental virtual/remote learning components. Estimated program length and design should be described in the experience/mentor application. The final experience plan will be determined by the mentor and participant trainee after the selection process is completed. All traineeship experiences must be completed by September 30, 2025.
Funding: Each IMMERSE experience offered during the pilot is eligible to receive up to $8000 in support from the Foundation. The mentor’s institution is eligible for up to $4000, and the participant trainee is eligible for up to $4000 to help defray costs of participation.
