Getting Involved
Life Science Cares and Project Onramp are just two examples of ways that organizations can get involved at a community level and support an environment of diversity, equity and inclusion.
Whether participating in a donation drive or collaborating with other non-profits, Life Science Cares takes much of the administrative lift off of your plate.
Project Onramp helps Massachusetts life science companies tap into a local source of diverse talent as they advance pipelines and mature.
