Research Opportunities

Explore opportunities for sustainability in research - Researchers are encouraged to join the LabRATS, a network of laboratory workers committed to collaborating for research efficiency by sharing information and equipment on the UCSB campus. LabRATS is both a network of people and a moderated listserve where individuals can request or offer ideas or equipment for exchange.

You are also invited to volunteer your laboratory for a sustainability assessment through the Laboratory Assessments for Research Sustainability (LARS) program. LARS staff assesses research sustainability and communicates opportunities with career research staff. All laboratories assessed by LARS do so voluntarily.

Go to the LARS page.
