Workforce development has not always been a set goal in biomedical research education and training. The highly-specialized training in biomedical research has often focused on the development of academic focused scientists, however, in the past 20 years this has been observed as unsustainable. A discussion ensues of the key areas of improvement to develop a sustainable biomedical workforce, and improve dispersion of diverse talent in all areas of biomedical research training (academic, industrial and government). The roles of advisory committees in biomedical research education and training demands that these be extended to additional venues to improve workforce challenges as individuals leave the training phase. Involvement of stakeholder roles in training opportunities by opening collaborations with training institutions opens venues for improvements in educational relationships, and workforce improvements. This chapter will also address the value of biomedical research (VOBR) and discuss recommendations to address workforce diversity and development. |
