Here to Help
- In addition to the range of Research and other conferences NWABR is also here to support its members. Members receive significant conference discounts, invitations to networking events, consulting support and counsel. Members can also propose new ideas and suggestions that can support new program development.
- Most importantly NWABR is a network. The people and organizations most able to support initiatives in the biomedical research field are the other people and organizations in the field. By working to build this network NWABR bolsters the overall capacity of biomedical research in the Northwest.
