Academic Sponsorship of ABRF:The purpose of Academic Sponsorship is to show support of ABRF and its mission to advancing core and research biotechnology laboratories and to indirectly benefit the sponsors. Our goal is to enlist academic cores to participate in ABRF Research Group activities and Committees, to network, to share expertise, and to benchmark. The sponsorship due of $2000 per year entitles the sponsor to have three free ABRF membership slots, a university or institute logo with hyperlink at the ABRF web pages, and assistance for its members to contribute to the ABRF society. The Corporate Relations Committee is in charge of the Academic Sponsorship program. When you have an agreement of support from a new sponsor, please contact Mark Lively who will inform Lisa Hetherington at http://ABRF@ABRF.org so an invoice can be sent. Later, please send a sponsor logo, and the names of the three free-memberships. We need to enter them into the membership records. Please Cc correspondence to Anthony.Yeung@fccc.edu. In future, Job Openings can be posted at the ABRF web pages, as well as membership-only Who’s Who in Core Facilities page, under construction, that will highlight CORE personnel with expertise in each CORE technology. We will also have new pages that illustrate successful stories of applications of specific instruments and reagents, supported by peer-reviewed publications that contain enough information to be useful to the readers. We will only post positive information and no hype. The purpose is to assist members in finding out who to work with, to obtain information, and to assist planning of equipment purchase. Thank you for your support. Tony Yeung. Fox Chase Cancer Center, a NCI Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, has the honor of being the first Academic Sponsor of ABRF. |
