An early career scholar mentoring program has been initiated, and academic and networking events are being offered regularly.  In addition, as of December 2016, Brown became an institutional member of the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity (NCFDD) in order to provide broader professional development opportunities and resources for faculty.  OIDI has also collaborated with academic departments and centers to offer faculty development activities relevant to specific fields and as requested by different groups of faculty.

Academic departments and centers have put forward plans in their DDIAPs to implement mentoring programs in their units. A mentoring sub-committee of the DIAP implementation working group is working on resources.
