The Research Committee plans several events each year to support women scientists such as Women’s Research Day and Navigating Faculty Career Advancement. The Research Committee is looking to recruit a diverse group of faculty members to contribute relevant interest and skills to meet the needs of the committee. This committee meets a few times a year and participates in the planning, development, and presentation of Women’s Research Day.
Drs. Pearman Parker and Laura Gressler coordinate the efforts of this committee that meets virtually via teams – we invite you to attend! For meeting details or to join the committee, contact Samantha Griffin at sgriffin2@uams.edu.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to inspire, encourage, and enable women as they embark upon, persevere and succeed in research-related career paths by promoting participation, collaboration, and visibility at every level in the scientific community.
