See How Members Feel About the ABRF Network:
"We work in a university core laboratory. ABRF is uniquely focused on our type of organization."
"ABRF provides a wealth of information for directors and technicians in core facilities."
"We do not get trained to be core managers. ABRF lets us learn from our peers."

CREATE CONNECTIONS BY:
EXPAND YOUR KNOWLEDGE BASE BY:
- Attending technology and administration focused workshops
- Participating in Research Groups that conduct and publish the relevant studies to improving technology and/or it's application
- Engaging in the ABRF Mentoring Program as a mentor, mentee or both
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.
FASEB Reports on Shared Research Resources
- Develop leadership skilling in a supportive community by being a chairperson, leading a workshop, serving on a Chapter Organizing Committee or the ABRF Executive Board.
- Find and fill a position on the ABRF Job Board
- Promote diversity, equity and inclusion in biomolecular sciences
