What kind of people will be hired with the endowment funding?
A contract research organization requires unique leadership, and the endowment funding will be used to recruit and retain scientific leadership for ASL. Entrepreneurial scientists, who have a strong record of program development, research accomplishments, and management, are the ideal candidates for ASL. These scientists will develop new research programs that increase external support from federal, state, and private organizations; recruit, supervise and guide the work of scientific staff members to ensure high-quality research; and develop partnerships with business and academic organizations in Spokane.
