... Although life-table models can be used to obtain estimates of new openings, it is important to note that they should not be used, mechanically, to perform the task NTH set for the study committee: that is, to estimate future needs for biomedical and behavioral research scientists and the role the National Research Service Awards (NRSA) program can play in meeting those needs.
