NIH BEST Evaluation




As you may know, BU’s BEST is part of a multi-institution 5-year grant to develop novel ideas in biomedical training and workforce development.  The goal is to better prepare graduate students and postdocs for the breadth of careers in the biomedical workforce.

But did you know that BEST is a groundbreaking study by the NIH that will ultimately advance biomedical research training programs for your generation and generations to come?  The study will identify best practices in biomedical research training programs for widespread dissemination.

Therefore, the NIH in partnership with BU’s BEST will survey graduate students and postdoctoral scientists to gather their thoughts about career opportunities and the ability to make career decisions.

If you’ve ever thought about making an impact for future trainees here’s your chance to act!  By giving your opinion about career opportunities and your ability to make career decisions you will help research training nationwide for years to come.  Likewise, if you are enjoying programming by BU’s BEST you can help to ensure sustainability after the funding period ends by taking this survey.

The survey will be in your BU email box on September 14th and will take about 20 minutes to complete.  In appreciation for your time and effort you will be entered into a raffle for one of sixteen $25 Amazon gift cards.
