MAPS Program
Mentoring Access for Pre- and Post-Doctoral Scientists
Join the Pan American Neuroendocrine Society today and be part of a thriving community driving innovation and discovery in neuroendocrinology! Members welcome worldwide, although programming will be focused on the Americas.
Career Development
Research Skills
Collaboration and Networking
Mentors in the program will have the chance to provide valuable career support to the next generation of
neuroendocrinologists. Mentees in the program will be able to expand their professional network and receive individual mentorship from a PANS faculty member. Mentors and mentees in the program will be matched based on shared research interests and/or goals, along with current geographic location (if requested).
Mentees will participate in mentee-led workshops, discussion forums, and other quarterly workshops and
activities. Mentors and mentees in the program are expected to meet at least quarterly, either virtually or in-person. Participants are strongly encouraged to attend the PANS conferences, as they are excellent
opportunities for mentors and mentees to meet in-person.
The MAPS program runs from September-June each academic year. Program acceptance is based on the
number of available mentors/mentees. Acceptance notifications will be sent to mentors and mentees when a match is identified, typically in August/September. Interested in applying to the MAPS program for 2025-2026? Applications will be available beginning summer 2025 so check back for more information!
