2:30 Breakouts |
What’s Possible? Where Do We Go From Here? Sample questions for Breakout Groups: To assess differences in the role of human capital in innovation, should the analysis and techniques applied to biotechnology be applied to other industries or technologies? Which? What HR data have been collected but not exploited? What linkages can be made between HR and other data sets? How? Can this be done without disrupting time series or losing other valuable information? Should federal agencies or supported institutions track personnel (laboratory employees, PIs, trainees, graduate assistants, research fellows and associates, etc.)? What aspects of program evaluation would benefit from use of HR data? |
