Biomedical Research Training falls under the umbrella of Graduate Education at higher education institutions. The extent that advisory committees play in such training is not well documented, as these change from institution to institution. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), the guiding federal agency that provides the bulk of financial support to biomedical research institutions, provides input in training and workforce development based on the research of their internal advisory committees. Discussed is the background of advisory committees in guiding graduate education and the roles of advisory committees in biomedical research education and training. Discussed are the roles of advisory committees at various levels of biomedical research education and training, from funding agencies (NIH), to advisory committees guiding training programs and delivering trainee advice at individual institutions. Discussion of the challenges in establishing advisory committees to develop a productive biomedical research workforce will ensue, as we shift from educational training to workforce development.

Abstract In Europe, agroecology has become the center of many debates that animate political and professional arenas, particularly regarding the definition and scope of the concept itself. This paper attempts to understand the ways that the term agroecology is conceptualized by different participantsparticipants and how these concepts circulate so as to explore the interests at stake in the institutionalization of agroecology within the research and education institutions of Europe. We address the core research question of: what dynamics emerge in the networks of European stakeholders of agroecology? By combining different approaches of institutionalization based on network and discourse analysis, we study the dynamics of research, education and training organizations. We identify 10 different concepts of agroecology, distributed among 103 organizations. The significant difference that has been observed between the agroecological concepts in research and those in education/training emphasizes the gap between these two disciplines. The latter support a more political, transdisciplinary and holistic view of agroecology when compared to the former. Moreover, collaboration among European agroecology stakeholders is limited in both research and education/training. We also found that in most cases, collaboration between scholars does not guarantee a shared notion of agroecology, and conversely, sharing the same notion of agroecology does not assure collaboration. This led us to question the feasibility of institutionalizing agroecology and the missing link between a shared vision and the collective mobilization of stakeholders around a strong agroecology programme.

e23014 Background: The number of annual global cancer deaths is rising and the majority of this burden, for a multitude of reasons, falls in low- and middle- income countries (LMICs). With the United Nations’ 3rd and 17th Sustainable Development Goals in mind (which include by 2030 “reduce by one third premature mortality from non-communicable diseases” and “partnership for the goals”) a survey was undertaken at the UK’s two largest comprehensive cancer centres to scope individual and team endeavours to work with colleagues in less well-resourced countries. Methods: Employees at the Royal Marsden Foundation Trust (RM) and Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in London and Surrey, UK and The Christie NHS Foundation Trust (Christie), Manchester were invited to complete a survey to capture collaborative clinical care, research, education and training. Results: Responses were received from 520 multidisciplinary individuals across the 2 centres to two similar questionnaires. A large number had experience of working in some capacity in, or in collaboration with an LMIC. At the RM 14.62% of respondees were currently working with colleagues in LMICs. At The Christie 13.22% of staff had experience of working in LMICs in a supportive capacity. Those currently collaborating with colleagues in LMICs were working in a wide range of countries across Asia, Africa and South America in a range of initiatives spanning clinical care, research, education and training. Of those who answered the survey 64% at The Christie said they’d like to hear more about opportunities to be involved in supporting global health care, and 89% at RM/ICR said they’d be interested in joining a collaborative group working on global oncology initiatives at the institutions. Conclusions: This survey highlights the body of willing, interested individuals keen to work with colleagues in LMICs to improve cancer outcomes. The launch of the UK Global Cancer Network in 2020 will build upon these two surveys with a planned national survey of global health and cancer work undertaken by individuals in 2021.
