2 Federal Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education 5-Year Strategic Plan We want to make sure that we are exciting young people around Priority math and Areas science and technology and computer science. We don t want our kids just to be consumers of the amazing things that science generates; we want them to be producers P-12 as STEM well. And we education want to make sure that those who historically have not participated in the sciences as robustly girls, Undergraduate members of minority groups education here in this country that they are encouraged as well. We ve got to make sure that we re Graduate training great calculus education and biology teachers, and encouraging students to keep up with their physics and chemistry Broadening classes. It means participation teaching proper research methods and encouraging young people to challenge accepted knowledge.

6 PhD Biomedical Research Workforce College Graduates ~ 19,000 Of graduates who have a definite commitment at the time of graduation (73.4%), 30.7% skip a postdoc Graduate Education & Training Total: ~85,000 Time to Degree: ~ 6 7 years Graduates: ~ 9,000 ~ 6,000 Postdoctoral Training ~ 4,000 ~ 650 International Total: ~ 40,000+ Median Length: ~ 5 years Post-Training Workforce (~ Total 145,000 of ~150,000 Biomedical Biomedical US-trained US-trained PhDs) PhD s Science Related Non-Research Government Research Academic Research or Teaching Industrial Research Non-Science Related Unemployed 17.2% 5.2% 44.7% 16.4% 14.1% 2.3%
7 DP7: Broadening Experiences in Scientific Training (BEST) Challenge: the academic career choice is becoming less attractive and/or less feasible for many PhDs Opportunity: Strengthening the Biomedical Research Workforce BEST awards Goal: develop innovative approaches complementing traditional research training in biomedical sciences
8 Two Major Goals for the BEST Program 1. Better prepare graduate students and postdocs for the variety of career opportunities available to them. 2. Establish an awardee network to evaluate different approaches, and establish and disseminate results.
9 2 CFR 200: UNIFORM ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS, COST PRINCIPLES, AND AUDIT REQUIREMENTS FOR FEDERAL AWARDS 1. Section Cost Principals Policy Guide (part f) For non-federal entities that educate and engage students in research, the dual role of students as both trainees and employees contributing to the completion of Federal awards for research must be recognized in the application of these principles. 2. Frequently Asked Questions (part 400-2) Dual Role of Students and Post-Doctoral Staff In addition to students - Staff in postdoctoral positions engaged in research, while not generally pursuing an additional degree, are expected to be actively engaged in their training and career development under their research appointments as Post-Docs. This dual role is critical in order to provide PostDocs with sufficient experience and mentoring for them to successfully pursue independent careers in research and related fields. Uniform Guidance (f) requires the recognition of the dual role of all pre and post-doctoral staff, who are appointed to research positions with the intent that the research experience will further their training and support the development of skills critical to pursue careers as independent investigators or other related careers.
