CARMA
Creating Adult Rheumatology Mentorship in Academia
Creating Adult Rheumatology Mentorship in Academia (CARMA) is a mentoring program to support early career investigators. Through this program, early career investigators participate in a matching mentoring program with established rheumatologists to enhance decision-making and satisfaction for rheumatology research trainees and junior faculty as they transition to independence after fellowship.
CARMA Applications Are Closed
The deadline to apply to be a mentor or mentee was April 28.
Note: Mentor and mentee matches will be notified by the end of May.

Eligibility
Mentees
Mentees must be adult rheumatology research-focused fellows or junior faculty. ACR membership is required.
Mentors
Mentors must be adult rheumatologists. ACR membership is required.
Time Commitment
Creating Adult Rheumatology Mentorship in Academia is a one-year mentoring program. However, the ACR supports interested matched mentors and mentees continuing their relationship for as long as they find it useful. Each mentoring experience is unique so the time commitment may vary. We anticipate 5-10 hours of phone/video calls per year and/or face-to-face meetings when possible.
