NRMN Virtual Community

New Feature: NRMN Champion (coming soon!)

MyNRMN has so many dedicated users that we’ve realized we can no longer only refer to them as “users,” because they are so much more! During the upcoming conferences (SACNAS, ABRCMS, and NIH Virtual Seminar), get ready to start learning about our NRMN Champions! The NRMN Champions are people who will represent their home institution within MyNRMN and help welcome and introduce new members from their institution and/or network to all of the resources that NRMN has to offer. Each institution can have up to 2 mentees and 1 mentor represent it as an NRMN Champion and Champions will receive a downloadable certificate and a badge within their NRMN profile to signify their status. Click here to learn more.

If you’re interested in becoming an NRMN Champion, let us know by completing this short survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JLXNFCP

We’re looking forward to meeting all of our new, official NRMN Champions!
