In the United States the population is aging and becomingly increasingly diverse (1). Next year, there will not be a majority race among those under 18. By 2060 there will be no majority within the entire US population. The implications of these changes are enormous and the academic enterprise will not be spared. The work of academia and the work force of academia will be forever changed within these ongoing social changes. Data science has the potential to alter the fundamental framework of biomedicine. Machine learning and artificial intelligence have the capacity to identify mechanisms and associations that may lead to innovations in disease prevention and therapy.

NIH created the National Center for Advanced Therapeutics https://ncats.nih.gov/programs to house the Clinical and Translational Science Awards Program and other initiatives intended to propel new ways to reduce this time, in part, by creating better ‘hand-offs’ between laboratory/bench scientists, clinician-scientists, and community health practitioners. Improved translation of research is just one strategy to move biomedical advances more quickly from concept to practice. Many problems we have yet to solve in and outside of the biomedical arena are complex. They require larger teams with specialized expertise to solve them, particularly to acquire and analyze data sets. This collaborative activity is often called Team Science. The research suggests inclusive teams where all members are valued improves the profile of the research (2).","PeriodicalId":93664,"journal":{"name":"Merrill series on the research mission of public universities.

In the case of the University of Kansas School of Medicine (KU SOM), state support declined nearly every year between 2007 and 2017. In 2017, the inflation-adjusted annual state allotment to the University of Kansas Medical Center was $40M less than it was in 2007 (Figure 1). To some extent, this decrease was offset by increases in revenue from tuition and fees, such that the decrease in overall funding was approximately 7%. However, during this period student enrollment increased by 23%. The decline in state funding at a time of expanding demand forced University leadership to reconsider how financial resources should be distributed so that they best align with the school’s missions in terms of research, education, and service.

Offering realistic expectations early in career choice decision-making is essential to ensure costand time-effective investment for both the individual health professional and the system in which they seek career growth. Providing a roadmap approach to career options that lay out opportunities, goals and expectations for health professionals with MD, DO and PhD degrees may be of utility for mentors, individual scholars and others seeking to support young faculty. While career decision-making is multifactorial and driven by unique individual and environmental factors, the figures and tables included here have proved useful heuristic tools for mentees and health professionals as they graduate and consider career options. The choices made will determine the expectations or possibilities of having research as part of their work. Opportunities and Career goals for MDs/DOs Graduates from medical school have a variety of career options.6 They need to decide if they want to join a practice in an academic setting or a nonacademic setting (Figure 1). If they chose a non-academic practice, then the decision is if they should join a private practice or a health system practice. The proportion of U.S. graduates planning full-time clinical practice careers has declined to about 50% which is attributable to graduates’ preference for part-time clinical practice, demographic factors and debt.6 As private practice models are rapidly disappearing from the American medical landscape, employment in health systems and in alternative settings is expanding. Private practice does remain an option for some MD/DO graduates, often depending on s","PeriodicalId":93664,"journal":{"name":"Merrill series on the research mission of public universities.
