RCMAR Connect Groups

Alumni RCMAR Scientists:

Analysis Core (AnC):

This group is for members of the Analysis cores of the RCMAR Centers to share best-practices, tips and tricks, methods, and how best to advance their work. RCMAR Center AnC’s provide data, resources, and consultations, and disseminate scientific information on new methodologies and data resources to RCMAR scientists. This group is open to AnC members only.  

Community Liaison and Recruitment Core (CLRC):

This group is for members of the Community Liaison and Recruitment cores of the RCMAR Centers to share best-practices, tips and tricks, methods, and how best to advance their work. RCMAR Center CLRC’s serve as a mechanism for co-learning and reciprocal transfer of expertise and enhance the RCMAR scientists’ research or training goals, and the impact of the work conducted in the scientific area of focus of the Center. This group is open to CLRC members only. 

Leadership and Administrative Core (LAC):

This group is for members of the Leadership and Administrative cores of the RCMAR Centers to share best-practices, tips and tricks, methods, and how best to advance their work.

This group is open to LAC members only. 

Mentors:

This group is for all mentors within the RCMAR community to discuss all things related to mentoring. Discussions and questions about mentoring best-practices, tips and tricks, methods, overcoming obstacles, and exploring opportunities for growth have a place here. This group is open to all users although it is intended primarily for mentors within the RCMAR community to engage with each other. 

MSI Fellows Program:

This group is for the RCMAR NCC’s MSI Fellows Program fellows to share ideas and communicate with each other. RCMAR NCC MSI Fellows Program fellows are a small group of fellows selected each year from a pool or candidates otherwise unaffiliated with the RCMAR Program. As fellows they gain access to RCMAR education, networking, mentoring, and more. The only users with permission to access this group are the fellows, the RCMAR NCC mentors, and the RCMAR NCC NIA Program Officials. 

Open Forum:

This group is open to everyone within the RCMAR community. This group provides a space for anyone to share training opportunities, job openings, questions about research, and anything else that may benefit users across different groups, or the community. 

RCMAR Scientists:

This group is for current cycle RCMAR scientists to talk about their research, share opportunities with one another, and network across Centers. This group is open to all users although it is intended primarily for current RCMAR scientists to engage with each other. 

Research Education Component (REC):

This group is for members of the Research Education Component cores of the RCMAR Centers to share best-practices, tips and tricks, methods, and how best to advance their work.
