Transforming doctoral education in the sciences the BEST way
Wayne State University was one of 17 institutions nationwide to receive a $1.8 million BEST (Broadening Experiences in Scientific Training) grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to help doctoral trainees explore multiple career pathways outside of academia. BEST participants receive training and experience in transferring their scientific, problem-solving and analytical skills to other domains including biotech and pharmaceutical industries, patent and intellectual property law, state and federal government, science communication and undergraduate teaching. WSU Graduate School data has shown that half of our doctoral alumni pursue careers in Michigan, so programs like BEST have the potential to impact the biomedical workforce in the Detroit Metro area and across the state. When students find satisfying careers in the state, it helps stimulate economic development and act as an impetus for partnerships between the industry and research sectors. On the national level, the BEST initiative enables WSU to take a leadership role in transforming graduate education in the biomedical and life sciences.
