The National Academies Next Generation Researchers Initiative Committee has issued a  letter seeking feedback on actions that universities are taking to improve, incentivize and sustain transitions to independent research careers as well as the barriers next generation researchers will face.  The committee is seeking feedback on four core issues, including levels, sources and stability of funding; grant awards and review; training and mentoring; and underrepresented groups. Responses are requested by October 1 and can be submitted using this link.
