Widely considered the best in the world, our nation's research universities today confront significant financial pressures, important...
Comprehensive research and a highly-trained workforce are essential for the improvement of health and health care both nationally and internationally. During the past 40 years the National Research Services Award (NRSA) Program has played a large role in training the workforce responsible for dramatic advances in the understanding of various diseas...
What are employer needs for staff trained in the natural sciences at the master's degree level? How do master's level professionals in the natural sciences contribute in the workplace? How do master's programs meet or support educational and career goals? Science Professionals: Master's Education for a Competitive World examines the answers to thes...
First, it is heartening and reassuring that NAVSEA recognizes the critical challenge of maintaining an adequate number of skilled Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) professionals. NAVSEA correctly reasons that this challenge has implications for its own workforce development, and its commitment to address this challenge as it r...
The NRC Resident Research Associateship Program at NIST provides two-year temporary appointments for outstanding scientists and engineers. This book describes program applicants and awardees and offers suggestions for an in-depth assessment of career outcomes. Preliminary investigation indicates that outreach efforts produce more qualified applican...
In response to a request by the Lucille P. Markey Charitable Trust, the National Research Council (NRC) of the National Academies, through the Board on Higher Education and Workforce (BHEW), is conducting an evaluation of the Markey Trust's grant programs in the biomedical sciences. During an interval of 15 years, the Markey Trust spent over $500 m...
Community colleges play an important role in starting students on the road to engineering careers, but students often face obstacles in transferring to four-year educational institutions to continue their education. Enhancing the Community College Pathway to Engineering Careers, a new book from the National Academy of Engineering and the National R...
Policy Implications of International Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Scholars in the United States explores the role and impact of students and scholars on US educational institutions and the US economy. The nation has drawn increasingly on human resources abroad for its science and engineering workforce. However, competition for talent has grow...

... Despite the challenges associated with the pandemic, students' progression through general chemistry laboratory and other STEM courses has changed with the increasing necessity of online transitions. Virtual engagements are not uniform and vary based on reliable Internet connections and access to technology to properly access data, with such issues vocalized by students in the present study (Brenner et al., 2021). ...
... Despite an ever-increasing demand for STEM and computer science workers, a concerning number of students in these disciplines leave the field before finishing their degree, sometimes citing discrimination and unwelcome environments [1]. Only around half of students enrolled in these programs actually graduate with the degree [2]. Underrepresented minorities (URM) are disproportionately represented in this group. ...
... Soft Skills are essential to the success of entry-level and leadership healthcare roles (Abraham, et al., 2021;Ashbaugh 2003;Doley, et al., 2021;Karimi & Piña, 2021;Kroning, 2015;Saiyad, 2018). Other research finds a correlation between success and soft skill competencies in other STEM professions (e.g., Deming, 2017;Livia, et al.2017;McCraw, 2017;Patacsil, & Tablatin, 2017;Wilkie, 2019). Table 1 below shows the results of an online 2020 Association of American Colleges and Universities survey of over 1,000 employers from diverse organizations in the private, public, government, and nonprofit sectors. ...
... In 2021, NIDA received over 500 applications and matched 83 interns to research sites, compared to an average of 60 per year in 2013-2020. The program's growth testifies, not only to serving the needs of students, institutions, and society, but also to the success of the model on which the program is based [1,2]. Growth is also consistent with a 2021, Presidential Executive Order, which called for increased paid internships along with a whole-of-government priority on DEIA in these internships. ...
... One purpose of biomedical research is to create a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms of human functioning and human health (Council 2011). Therefore, it is important to conduct more studies in the biomedical field with minimal errors, lower cost, and reduced peer review times. ...
... History of Student Mobility The mobility of scholars has existed for centuries; students and faculty have travelled across for their academic visits since around the thirteenth century. However, what has changed today is the extent of these international activities and the number of internationally mobile students (McAllister-Grande, 2011). From the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries, scholars did move for study purposes, but student mobility was restricted to a few who could afford to move. ...
... Studies of workforce status and requirements have been carried out over the past decade for various sectors of NE. [5][6][7][8] In addition, an opinion piece in Power Engineering 9 provided an overview of the aging workforce in the US energy industry and its future ramifications. Although the information provided in these reports includes nonnuclear workers, the most telling statistic provided by the US Department of Labor is that half of the utility workforce was expected to retire within the next 5-10 years. ...

... Consequently, this documentation does not necessarily prevent the removal of material for malicious purposes. 18 It is also more likely that a knowledgeable insider would simply take a sample from intrinsically unaccountable sources for infectious materials, such as discarded pipette tips. 17 Thus, the meticulous documentation required to account for select agent vials, while putting significant stressors on time and laboratory efficiency (one lab reports hiring 2 full-time employees solely to account for the vials), provides only "the illusion of security." ...
... 5 Biomedical advancements and client demands mean a greater focus on covering all the new knowledge gained in the small animal clinical world. Simultaneously, shrinking coursework is often associated with food animal/population foci such as pathology, PH, epidemiology, toxicology, food safety, and other topics critical to producing practice-ready veterinarians who work in PH. 6 The curriculum delivery is time-bound, while the knowledge and information available to veterinarians continues to grow. Currently, the focus of many veterinary curricula produces a veterinarian who meets the needs of the US pet owner. ...
... The dental public health infrastructure is an important component of the overall public health infrastructure. The federal government has been examining the public health infrastructure as part of the Healthy People 2010 and 2020 national health targets (Council, 2012). For example, in 2009, 55% of state health departments indicated they had adequate epidemiological capabilities to track health and investigate community health concerns. ...
