Area of Science:

  • Biomedical research training
  • Career development for scientists

Background:

  • Traditional biomedical graduate and postdoctoral training primarily prepared scientists for academic Principal Investigator roles.
  • Most PhD graduates pursue careers outside of traditional academic principal investigator positions.
  • A need exists to broaden training to prepare scientists for diverse roles within the biomedical research enterprise.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the National Institutes of Health Common Fund's Broadening Experiences in Scientific Training (BEST) program.
  • To evaluate the impact of BEST awards on trainee career decision-making, training duration, and institutional sustainability of innovative training approaches.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of the Broadening Experiences in Scientific Training (BEST) awards program in 2012 and 2013.
  • Cross-site evaluation of BEST awardee institutions assessing trainee confidence, training time, and institutional capacity for sustained change.
  • Dissemination of best practices across the biomedical research training community.

Main Results:

  • Early evaluative data on the fundamental approach of the BEST program.
  • Assessment of changes in trainee confidence and knowledge regarding career decisions.
  • Analysis of the influence of BEST activities on the duration of scientific training.

Conclusions:

  • The BEST program aims to foster a culture shift in biomedical research training.
  • Innovative approaches are being developed to complement traditional training and prepare scientists for a wider range of careers.
  • The program seeks to enhance institutional capacity to support diverse career pathways for biomedical researchers.
