Looking to the future
Lininger is thrilled about increasing the number of staff and faculty that are now available to support investigators across NAU’s campus. There are over 20 research experts from various disciplines that are ready and eager to help.
“As we start the third year of the TAG-SC, we are encouraged by the support we have been able to provide investigators across many of the NAU statewide sites,” Lininger said. “This support has led to stronger grant proposals, increased interdisciplinary research collaborations, and quicker submissions of manuscripts. While we continue actively supporting our NAU investigators, we are working towards helping community partners starting in the summer of 2024.” This is exciting news for those anxiously awaiting this service center to expand outside of NAU.
In the ever-evolving landscape of research, having a reliable and comprehensive support system is paramount. The TAG-SC stands as a beacon of guidance, equipping NAU’s researchers with the tools and expertise necessary to turn their visions into impactful realities. As we continue to champion research excellence, the TAG-SC remains committed to propelling your scholarly pursuits to new heights.
Stay tuned for updates from the TAG-SC as we delve deeper into the stories, insights, and transformative experiences that define our community of researchers. For inquiries or to access the TAG-SC’s services, please visit TAG-SC or reach out to Monica Lininger.
