Research Core Community
The Office of Research and Innovation warmly welcomes all core and shared research facilities staff, including directors, and business team members who support these units to participate in community meetings.
These forums are designed to:
- Strengthen Collaboration: Create a shared space where core facility staff and researchers can connect, build relationships, and advance collaborative partnerships.
- Share Information: Share updates, resources, and support among colleagues to ensure everyone remains well-informed and can maximize the use of available resources.
- Develop Best Practices: Engage collectively in the development, sharing, and continuous improvement of best practices in core facility operations.
- Celebrate Success: Spotlight impactful research initiatives and success stories that inspire innovation and open new pathways for collaboration.
- Address Roadblocks Together: Share challenges in a supportive environment, encourage joint problem-solving, and reinforce a culture of continuous improvement.
