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 indirectly benefit the sponsors. Moreover, core facility administration is beginning to be recognized as a key factor in the performance of cores today. It is hoped that through Academic Sponsorship, core administrators may connect with each other and with the core operators in a global way, participate in ABRF activities, and promote the welfare of core facilities and the host institutions. Core administrators are an important group of ABRF members and they can form a new ABRF committee through which to contribute to the welfare of ABRF core members. It is hoped that core administrators will provide ABRF with advice on infrastructure, services, and insights from the institution points of view. Our secondary 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 on this page and rotating at the ABRF.org front page, and assistance for its members to contribute to the ABRF society. Other benefit to Academic Sponsorship include free posting to a Job Openings column at the ABRF web pages. Thank you for your support. Tony Yeung. Current Academic Sponsors Fox Chase Cancer Center, the ICBR of the University of Florida, and the Biomolecular Resource Facilities of the University Of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB). |
