Abstract: This study examines the career pathway of biomedical scientists along the educational pipeline from high school to advanced degree and on through to NIH-funded investigator. Using a relevant labor market perspective, we examine U.S. Census data to determine how transition points along this path vary by gender, race, and citizenship. Critical transition points are high school, associate, bachelor, and graduate degree completion, as well as the award of an NIH research grant. With recent data (2008-2012), we update previously published estimates and identify where various groups are leaving or entering the pipeline and to what extent.
