NIH Offers to Help Universities Improve Training, Boost Diversity

摘要

For 2 decades, some social scientists and bio-medical researchers have complained that U.S. universities are training far more graduate students and postdocs than will ever find jobs in academic research. However, others argue that there is no oversupply because these Ph.D.s will find jobs in industry or other sectors. But almost everyone agrees that the current training system takes too long and isn't designed to prepare young biomedical scientists for nonacademic jobs.
