The Office of Academic Training and Outreach Programs (ATOP) is here to support you!
Last year we conducted research staff focus groups where we gathered feedback from you and your peers directly. The Research Staff Engagement Committee, part of the Academic Training Advisory Council (ATAC), has worked this past year to provide improved support and more targeted programming. Keep an eye out as we continue to plan more events for Spring 2023!
If you have programming ideas or resources that you'd like to see, we want to hear about it!
All research staff, including Research Technicians, Associates, Scientists, and Lab Managers, are eligible and encouraged to attend professional and career development events organized by ATOP.
