ABRF members work closely with corporate partners who develop new technology and instrumentation to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of Core Facilities. These Corporate Partners seek out ABRF members to identify their needs and the challenges they face to inform the development of future products and services. Make and develop these valuable connections through several mechanisms, including exhibit booths and corporate parter talks, at the ABRF Annual Meeting and regional chapter meetings.

Stay informed and have an active voice in affecting science policy: ABRF is a member society of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), and members play an important role in science advocacy and funding policies. Although mostly relevant to our American members, issues such as these affect the entire research enterprise and are particularly germane to the ABRF membership.
