Guidelines for ADVIP Profile

The first part of the profile form asks for your name, title, organization you are affiliated with, and contact information.  (To open the boxes for your physical address, click on “add address.”)  Be sure to indicate whether your phone numbers and e-mail addresses that you are providing are personal or work related. You are also given the option of including a head shot picture of yourself (doing this makes your profile look MUCH better).  The last two sections ask that you provide information about your background, as well as your current services and/or research projects.  (If you would like to provide greater details about yourself (for example, in the form of a Curriculum Vitae), please indicate how you may be contacted.)
