Which? What HR data have been collected but not exploited? What linkages can be made between HR and other data sets? How? Can this be done without disrupting time series or losing other valuable information? Should federal agencies or supported institutions track personnel (laboratory employees, PIs, trainees, graduate assistants, research fellows and associates, etc.)?
