What you can expect from an Ally

Allies are volunteer faculty trained to provide individualized support and seek to empower trainees in making their own choices. Allies are NOT part of any grievance or disciplinary process. Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars in basic science labs may seek support from Allies in any department/program. The faculty who act as Allies rely on each other for expertise in navigating the institutional landscape; a team of Allies may work with a trainee to identify optimal solutions to challenges they face. Our goal is to respond to all requests for Ally support within 24 hours. Please be patient during the COVID-19 pandemic, however, as responses may take longer than usual.
