<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">The goal of the
IMPACT Program is for post-docs to develop skills (technical and
soft) and professional networks that better prepare them for
careers inside and outside of academia, through an experience
that challenges them to explore and defend the real-world impact
of their research. Impact
<b>may range from basic research</b> that enables future
experiments <b>to later stage projects</b> that could be
translated into industry or entrepreneurial ventures.</span></div>
