Mentorship Relationship Map | 8-Page Mentoring & Support Network Tool
One mentor cannot realistically provide every kind of support you need.
You may need scientific guidance from one person.
Career advice from another.
Advocacy from someone with more institutional influence.
Emotional support from someone who understands the pressure.
Introductions from someone with a wider network.
The Mentorship Relationship Map is an 8-page printable tool designed to help graduate students, postdocs, researchers, and early-career professionals look beyond the idea of a single “perfect mentor” and build a broader support network.
Use it to map who currently supports your scientific, career, emotional, professional, and networking needs—and identify where important gaps still remain.
What's Inside — 8 Pages
1. Current Mentorship Network
2. Scientific & Technical Support
3. Career & Professional Guidance
4. Advocacy & Sponsorship
5. Emotional & Perspective Support
6. Networking & Opportunity Access
7. Mentorship Gaps
8. Relationship-Building Next Steps
The Mentorship Relationship Map helps you see those relationships more clearly.
Use it to identify:
Where you already have strong support
Which types of guidance you are relying on one person to provide
Where your network is too narrow
Which relationships may need more attention
What kind of mentor, sponsor, peer, or advisor could fill a current gap
Which connections you may want to strengthen over time
Use it during IDP planning, career transitions, mentor meetings, graduate training, postdoctoral development, or any time your current mentoring structure feels too dependent on one relationship.
