A rising median age at which PhD's receive their first research grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is among the factors forcing academic biomedical researchers to spend longer periods of time before they can set their own research directions and establish there independence. The fear that promising prospective scientists will choose other career paths has raised concerns about the future of biomedical research in the United States. At the request of NIH, the National Academies conducted a study on ways to address these issues. The report recommends that NIH make fostering independence of biomedical researchers an agencywide goal, and that it take steps to provide postdocs and early-career investigators with more financial support for their own research, improve postdoc mentoring and establish programs for new investigators and staff scientists among other mechanisms.

Brenda Batts, Behavior Consultant, a much sought after speaker in the area of special needs, and mother of Alex, a son with Autism. Brenda shares her proven behavior management and potty training techniques, through her book, Road to Independence. She has compiled over 16 years experience in the rearing of her son and through behavior training for thousands of special needs clients (Autism, PDD, Asperbergers, ADHD, Down Syndrome, Fragile X, etc.). Brenda relates to you as parent and professional of those special children as she takes you down a path, well-traveled, that is filled with innovative tips and suggestions along the way. The central focus of this writing is to help you empower your child to become more independent. What has emerged from her vigilance to develop effective interventions for Alex is a battery of innovative behavior skills training that she shares with you. Brenda has been very successful in helping resolve very difficult children that were previously considered unreachable, and in some cases, un-teachable. When asked how she knows what to do to help children with severe and highly usual conditions, she simply replies that "the idea just came to me." Perhaps another explanation is that these ideas are messages from God. Follow her along this journey and you be the judge.
