> You might remind your company that the ABRF is a non-profit
> organization devoted to promoting and facilitating communication and
> cooperation among core facilities and research laboratories. The ABRF
> provides research mechanisms for evaluation and improvement of
> biotechnical capabilities of core facilities, and promotes the
> education
> of facility staff, users, administrators, and other members of the
> scientific community regarding resource facility functions.
> A unique feature of the ABRF is our research committees that conduct
> studies to assess the capabilities of core facilities and provide
> materials to help member laboratories evaluate themselves. The results
> of these studies are presented at various meetings and have been
> published regularly. These publications, along with our quarterly
> newsletter, the Email bulletin and WWW homepage, are important
> vehicles
> of communication among our members.
