Keys for Success & Opportunities
High-Quality Talent
Research Funding
Modern Infrastructure
International Visibility
Major investments made in past 10 years (building and core facilities) and plan for future.
>50% of PIs are over 55; PI ‘turnover’ will allow continued growth/renewal.
Trainee quality increasing in past 5–10 years.
All PIs are NSTC-funded; most have AS intramural support. Some have/had international funding.
Work in progress but making advances; a very committed AAC is helping.
