About the ISCRM Service Corps
Service is an integral part of our institute’s mission and culture. We are committed to improving human health, training future scientists, and educating the public through outreach. Additionally, faculty, trainees, and staff across the institute volunteer significant time and energy throughout the year in many ways, including serving on review committees, supporting outreach programs for middle school and high school students, and creating experiences for members of the ISCRM community.
We call the sum total of these contributions the ISCRM Service Corps.
The goals of the ISCRM Service Corps are to foster community with ISCRM, expand the number of researchers participating in service opportunities, to offer year-round community experience, and to demonstrate values in action.
There are three ways for members of ISCRM labs to get involved.
- Help with outreach experiences for middle school and high school students. You can learn more about ISCRM’s outreach efforts here.
- Propose and organize a gathering or small event for members of the ISCRM community (financial support may be available through the ISCRM Social Fund)
- Volunteer to serve on a review committee for one of ISCRM’s research award and fellowship programs. Please note: these opportunities may be restricted to postdoctoral researchers and faculty members
To volunteer for any of these opportunities please email Thatcher Heldring (theldrin@uw.edu)
