Meeting Notes

Mission

The Insights and Content team acts as a critical interface between our leadership/program teams and the greater undergrad community. It aims to help our organization answer:

• What do undergrads need to enter and succeed in biotech?
• What resources and knowledge can we provide to help undergrads in their biotech journey? (e.g. getting a research role, getting a startup job, finding funding, etc.)
• What is the long-term impact that our programs have on the community?

In short, we want to democratize knowledge about biotech.

Insights — collecting, analyzing, and sharing data on the undergraduate biotech community to create more accessible, inclusive programming

Content — gathering and creating new content for the undergraduate biotech community to gain more exposure to the biotech industry (knowledge, opportunities, etc.)

On the radar

Insights

1. Establish creative strategies to survey and interview a diverse sample of undergraduates on their experiences and barriers in the biotech field.
2. Contribute to a peer-reviewed publication reporting on the current-state landscape of undergraduates in biotech and recommendations on how to better support the demographic.
3. Implement streamlined strategies for Dojo to track the success of its core programs through data collection, analysis, and generating yearly impact reports.
   1. Each Insights researcher will be interfacing closely with a program team (Grants, House, Explore) to help collect data about current cohorts, alumni, and generate impact reports for future sponsors

Content

1. Interface with program teams to develop playbooks, guides, documentation etc. for current or future cohorts (e.g. how to find a research position for DojoGrants)
2. Interface with the design team to revamp our website + improve our online knowledge base
3. Explore the idea of a Dojo magazine!! To showcase undergrad biotech work (research, essays, art, design teams)
