Book Synopsis An Evaluation of the NIH Research Career Development Award by : Grace M. Carter
Download or read book An Evaluation of the NIH Research Career Development Award written by Grace M. Carter and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report evaluates the Research Career Development Award (RCDA) program of the National Institutes of Health. It describes how Initial Review Groups (IRGs) select candidates to receive an RCDA, and how the careers and accomplishments of RCDA recipients differ from those of other researchers, and it attempts to determine whether these differences are attributable to the impact of the RCDA program. The major effect of the program is an increase in the rate of research participation. Although the RCDA program supports persons who will become outstanding researchers, it is not because it "creates" them, but because the IRGs are able to target them. In recent years, however, the program has not consistently awarded grants to researchers in the intended career stage--that is, to those with limited career experience.
Book Synopsis Bridges to Independence by : National Research Council
Download or read book Bridges to Independence written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2005-08-26 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rising median age at which PhD's receive their first research grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is among the factors forcing academic biomedical researchers to spend longer periods of time before they can set their own research directions and establish there independence. The fear that promising prospective scientists will choose other career paths has raised concerns about the future of biomedical research in the United States. At the request of NIH, the National Academies conducted a study on ways to address these issues. The report recommends that NIH make fostering independence of biomedical researchers an agencywide goal, and that it take steps to provide postdocs and early-career investigators with more financial support for their own research, improve postdoc mentoring and establish programs for new investigators and staff scientists among other mechanisms.

Book Synopsis Follow the Money: Funding Research in a Large Academic Health Center by : Henry R. Bourne
Download or read book Follow the Money: Funding Research in a Large Academic Health Center written by Henry R. Bourne and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Threatened by sharp cuts in state government support and stagnant federal research funding, US public research universities are becoming fragile ecosystems. By charting flows of research dollars through a leading public research university-the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF)-this book illuminates how such schools work to cope with these funding threats and how the challenges and coping strategies affect organization and direction of research. Academic leaders, faculty, administrators, and students will learn how a complex academic health center manages its revenues, expenses, and diverse academic cultures. For the first time, they can begin to understand arcane mysteries of indirect cost recovery, sponsored funds, capital investment, endowments, debt, and researchers' salaries.
Book Synopsis NIH Extramural Center Programs by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book NIH Extramural Center Programs written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-04-21 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grants for research centers located in universities, medical centers, and other nonprofit research institutions account for about 9 percent of the National Institutes of Health budget. Centers are popular because they can bring visibility, focus, and increased resources to bear on specific diseases. However, congressional debate in 2001 over proposed legislation directing NIH to set up centers for muscular dystrophy research highlighted several areas of uncertainty about how to decide when centers are an appropriate research mechanism in specific cases. The debate also highlighted a growing trend among patient advocacy groups to regard centers as a key element of every disease research program, regardless of how much is known about the disease in question, the availability of experienced researchers, and other factors. This book examines the criteria and procedures used in deciding whether to establish new specialized research centers. It discusses the future role of centers in light of the growing trend of large-scale research in biomedicine, and it offers recommendations for improving the classification and tracking of center programs, clarifying and improving the decision process and criteria for initiating center programs, resolving the occasional disagreements over the appropriateness of centers, and evaluating the performance of center programs more regularly and systematically.
Book Synopsis Enhancing the Postdoctoral Experience for Scientists and Engineers by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Enhancing the Postdoctoral Experience for Scientists and Engineers written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-10-08 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of postdoctoral training came to science and engineering about a century ago. Since the 1960s, the performance of research in the United States has increasingly relied on these recent PhDs who work on a full-time, but on a temporary basis, to gain additional research experience in preparation for a professional research career. Such experiences are increasingly seen as central to careers in research, but for many, the postdoctoral experience falls short of expectations. Some postdocs indicate that they have not received the recognition, standing or compensation that is commensurate with their experience and skills. Is this the case? If so, how can the postdoctoral experience be enhanced for the over 40,000 individuals who hold these positions at university, government, and industry laboratories? This new book offers its assessment of the postdoctoral experience and provides principles, action points, and recommendations for enhancing that experience.

Book Synopsis Addressing the Nation's Changing Needs for Biomedical and Behavioral Scientists by : National Research Council
Download or read book Addressing the Nation's Changing Needs for Biomedical and Behavioral Scientists written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-08-16 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As biomedical and behavioral research progresses into new areas, the number of scientists active in various fields rises and falls, and the health needs of the U.S. population evolve, it is important to ensure that the preparation of future investigators reflects these changes. This book addresses these topics by considering questions such as the following: What is the current supply of biomedical and behavioral scientists? How is future demand for scientists likely to be affected by factors such as advances in research, trends in the employment of scientists, future research funding, and changes in health care delivery? What are the best ways to prepare prospective investigators to meet future needs in scientific research? In the course of addressing these questions, this volume examines the number of investigators trained every year, patterns of hiring by universities and industry, and the age of the scientific workforce in different fields, and makes recommendations for the number of scientists that should be trained in the years ahead. This book also considers the diversity of the research workforce and the importance of providing prospective scientists with the skills to successfully collaborate with investigators in related fields, and offers suggestions for how government and universities should structure their research training programs differently in the future.
