Colleagues
Contract workers and grant holders might want to take a glance at a
new set of reports published by the Research Careers Initiative
(through CVCP and the OST) regarding the progress of the Concordat on
contract research careers.
They are on the CVCP Website @ http://www.cvcp.ac.uk/new.html
There is a lot of interesting data there and it's worth a look.
Also, a recent press release from the Dti on this subject (dated Oct.
7th ref = P/98/764, its also on their website) mentions that the OST
is setting aside 150 K to look at research into improving career
guidance of contract staff. If there is anyone out there interested
in putting something together can you get in touch with me
([log in to unmask]). Alternatively, the CRTSF of RGS-IBG could
do something as a group, but I do not know the protocols
for undertaking such a task. If anyone has an ideas/suggestions, they
would be gratefully received.
Thanks for your time
Shaun Fielding
