What types of entities qualify as Mentors? What types of support can a mentor provide?

Mentors should be a Tribe, state, or territory that has successfully completed an EN grant and that currently reports or publishes data for one or more environmental programs using an EN node, Virtual Exchange Services (VES), or APIs. Mentoring activities may take place by phone, over web conferencing, or in person, as needed.

Support activities of a mentor may include:

  • Demonstrating the mentor's implemented system;
  • Providing technical assistance to set up the data exchange;
  • Training on data entry, data analysis, and report generation;
  • Giving ongoing support after installation:
    • Addressing data and exchange questions;
    • Providing guidance on submitting reports and completing close-out activities;
  • Offering guidance on how to actively participate in the Exchange Network, as well as Tribal Governance Group trainings and assistance.
