RESEARCH TRAINING IN THE BIOMEDICAL, BEHAVIORAL, AND CLINICAL RESEARCH SCIENCES
- Share to:
This analysis of the workforce needs in the biomedical, social and behavioral, and clinical sciences began in May 2008, when the storm clouds on the financial horizon were developing. We had our second meeting in late September 2008 in the midst of the financial meltdown. This has made the business of making projections into the future a very uncertain business indeed. The attempts to do just that were nonetheless carried out by the workforce committee, which met to review what data were available (not as much as one might wish) and to formulate recommendations to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Congress as to what changes might best lead to continued vigor in what has been a great experiment in the training of biomedical scientists for over 35 years now. The ideas behind the recommendations were debated and analyzed by experts in the many areas toward which we were expected to direct our scrutiny. Eventually a broad consensus was attained, and that forms the basis of the recommendations in this document.
