Hi Everyone, Some of you may know I am in Grad School working on my PhD. As part of my program I am doing a bit of research on core facility careers and institutional subsidies. I put together a survey of about 90 questions. That number sounds daunting but it really only takes about 20 minutes to complete. They are fast answer questions and I have incorporated a lot of components to core facility management. I would like to ask a favor from each of you to distribute this to your core facilities at your Institution. Administrators can also take this survey. This survey does have IRB approval from my Institution so if you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out to them the study ID is 2018-7920. This is an anonymous survey! As close to as de-identified as I will get at least. This information will be shared in a poster at ABRF in March. Then of course I'll publish in JBT the comprehensive results of this survey. AND if at any time you would like access to this please just shoot me an email - but give me a bit to sift through SPSS. I really appreciate your help with this. The more answers we get to this survey the more leverage we can have as administrators to help our core facility employees! At least that is what I hope for them! (and us) I will send out another reminder next week. Thank you so much for your support!

Please complete the Research Core Director Satisfaction and Support survey, developed by Nicole White, a Doctoral student at Antioch University. Nicole is also a Research Administrator and oversees the Shared Facilities at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. Additionally, Nicole is an active ABRF member and participates on several committees within our organization. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/YSY8XZL<https://abrf.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0ee9670bb3fd42d46d0fa9631&id=b89ccd3b56&e=25ef8563ab> Nicole developed this survey to identify themes that aid in career development as a core facility Director or Manager. As a research administrator, and former core facility manager, she understands the importance of taking the time to evaluate career development. The results of this survey will be published and shared with you in the coming months. It is our hope that this information will help all involved in the interest of core facility development and to have much needed conversations about the direction and attention that needs to be given to areas in core facility management. We appreciate you taking the time out of your day to help inform research by completing this survey. Please complete the survey by December 15. If you have any questions please feel free to email Nicole White at <email obscured><email obscured>> or <email obscured><email obscured>>
