SCIENTIFIC EXCELLENCE AND RESEARCH OUTCOME-BASED ASSESSMENT APPROACHES

Abstract

“Recent advances in rapidly developing science and technology, especially key discoveries in biomedical research have the potential to significantly improve human health quality and overcome many health challenges in the world. As a result, many countries, including developing countries are increasing the resources dedicated to establishing centers of excellence and innovative technology clusters. A world-class research enterprise to conduct cutting-edge biomedical research in this century must establish a comprehensive system to attract, retain and develop talented researchers from both local and international scientific communities. Furthermore, strong mentorship for junior researchers and students must be an integral component in these centers.”--
