In fact, of all stakeholders, NIH has been the most attentive and responsive to the issues facing emerging investigators as they strive for independent research careers. Now, it is time for the remaining stakeholders -- universities and other research institutions, principal investigators, professional societies, philanthropic organizations, Congress and the nation's biomedical research funding agencies, and industry -- to be equally involved in creating an environment that enables the nation's young investigators to thrive and push the frontiers of knowledge, generate enumerable benefits to our society, and provide the intellect and energy needed to keep the biomedical research enterprise strong and vibrant.

Census data, and then make those linked data, under strict confidentiality protocols, available to qualified researchers at Federal Statistical Research Data Centers to understand better the biomedical workforce. The National Institutes of Health should • Phase-in policies that require the collection and publication of data on out comes and demographics of biomedical pre- and postdoctoral researchers, using common standards and definitions, as a prerequisite for further funding to incentivize compliance.
