NIBIB 2002 Training Workshop Recommendations (cont’d) • Develop NIBIB (and possibly interagency) programs to support: • Pre-undergraduate and undergraduate programs aimed at attracting quantitative science students to BME and BMI careers. • Junior graduate student fellowships. • New faculty research awards for young, untenured faculty.
NIBIB 2002 Training Workshop Recommendations (cont’d) • Develop institutional trans-disciplinary training opportunity • Allow flexibility for the principal institution to encourage and support horizontal (inter-departmental) and vertical (various stages of career development) integration
NIBIB 2002 Training Workshop Recommendations (cont’d) • Support “centers of training excellence” that are multi-institutional and inter-departmental. • Interface the clinical sciences, basic sciences, and industry in future NIBIB training initiatives. • Support short-term faculty and student training courses on high-tech and new instrumentation.
