Consortium Research Sponsor

Consortium Research Sponsorship (CRS) enables a sponsor to form a close relationship with specific areas of research by placing an employee-in-residence within FMAC. The employee is given an office and the opportunity to work closely with principal investigators and students on specific projects. In addition, a CRS sponsor joins one of the Lab's several consortia/joint programs, which connect a group of sponsors with a group of Lab faculty and research staff focused on a common agenda.
