Hi Jane,

Thank you for your help.

Here is the text I would include in an email:

Dear members of the NIEHS Trainees Assembly (NTA),

 

Please take ~5 minutes to complete a brief questionnaire, we appreciate your input by on:

 

‘Meeting your needs to innovate, build, modify and fix laboratory tools & equipment.’

LINK:

 The questionnaire is presented in two parts to assess the following areas of interest:

 

Part 1: Use of existing NIEHS mechanical and electrical workshop facilities.

These facilities are typically used to build and/or modify laboratory equipment to end user specifications and perform simple electrical repairs.

 

Part 2: Creating a new, self-service NIEHS facility to design, build & modify laboratory equipment.

This type of facility is commonly described as a ‘Makerspace’ or ‘Fabrication Lab’. It is based around design approaches that are computer-aided (CAD), and production equipment that is computer controlled. This approach operates in a self-service mode, requiring some training and guidance.

 

We would greatly appreciate your answers by TBD

Thank you,

Gary Bird
