AbstractWe introduce the Politics and the Life Sciences special issue on Psychophysiology, Cognition, and Political Differences. This issue represents the second special issue funded by the Association for Politics and the Life Sciences that adheres to the Open Science Framework for registered reports (RR). Here pre-analysis plans (PAPs) are peer-reviewed and given in-principle acceptance (IPA) prior to data being collected and/or analyzed, and are published contingent upon the preregistration of the study being followed as proposed. Bound by a common theme of the importance of incorporating psychophysiological perspectives into the study of politics, broadly defined, the articles in this special issue feature a unique set of research questions and methodologies. In the following, we summarize the findings, discuss the innovations produced by this research, and highlight the importance of open science for the future of political science research.

Sixth Framework Programme

There is around 100m annually in the Sixth Framework Programme earmarked exclusively for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the life sciences field. That is 15 per cent of the total amount available. But most of it has yet to be allocated. Why are biopharmaceutical SMEs not applying and how can they get access to this money?The Emerging Biopharmaceutical Enterprises (EBE) group teamed up with representatives of the European Commission for the 'Life Sciences, Genomics and Biotechnology for Health' Thematic Priority to help companies understand how they can benefit from the Programme and give them an opportunity to add their ideas to it. Attendees came from 60 biopharmaceutical companies, and the programme was structured to allow companies to ask questions, but also put forward ideas to be included in upcoming Calls for the Sixth Framework Programme, as well as suggestions for improving the Seventh Framework Programme to improve industry participation. The event also gave them the chance to ask the Commission representatives specific questions on the administrative aspects of the Programme. The event was organised in conjunction with the Scientific Officers responsible for the different areas in the Programme; and the external experts who advise the Commission on the content of the future calls and the overall strategy for priority areas and activities of research were also invited. This meeting was designed to be as relaxed and open as possible and put the companies directly in contact with the people who implement the Framework Programme. The input from this session based on the feedback of the attendees has been formally forwarded to the Commission and the Thematic Priority Advisory Group.This paper discusses the aims and focus of the Sixth Framework Programme. It provides an overview of the discussion between the EBE and the representatives from the European Commission for the 'Life Sciences, Genomics and Biotechnology for Health' Thematic Priority and summarises the key problems and solutions arising therein.

Key Questions

A Space Life Sciences Planning Workshop was sponsored by the Canadian Space Agency to identify key questions in the major research areas supported by the Life Sciences Program, to identify Canadian strengths and capabilities as they relate to these research areas, and to make recommendations for the future directions of the Life Sciences Program. The conclusions reached by the workshop participants have been presented to the Canadian Space Agency. This report is a summary of those conclusions.Key words: microgravity, Canadian Space Agency, bone loss, muscle loss, cardiovascular, radiation, neuroscience.

The Status

Background Every year, the life science field spends billions of dollars on educational activities worldwide. The continuing professional development of employees, especially in this field, encompasses great challenges. Emerging technologies appear to offer opportunity, but relatively little research has been done on the effectiveness of pedagogies and tools that have been used in the life sciences, and even less research has been devoted to understanding the potential power of emerging options that might determine the field’s future. Objective In collaboration with the Life Sciences Trainers & Educators Network (LTEN), this study investigated the current state of the pedagogies and tools currently adopted by corporate training professionals in the life sciences as well as the professionals’ perceptions of the impacts of emerging technologies on training. Methods This study adopted a mixed methods approach that included a survey and a follow-up interview. The survey consists of 18 broad questions with 15 subquestions in each of the five specific sectors of the life sciences field. Interviews were conducted by phone and lasted approximately 40 minutes, covering 18 questions designed to follow-up on findings from the survey items. Results Both survey and interview results indicated that the professionals were not satisfied with the status quo and that training and education in this field need to change. Most of the techniques and tools currently used have been used for some time. The professionals surveyed were not satisfied with the current techniques and tools and did not find them cost-effective. In addition, the respondents pictured the future of training in this field to be more engaging and effective. Conclusions This is the first study in a series designed to better understand education and training in the life sciences on a macro level, in order to build a foundation for progress and evolution of the future landscape. Next steps involve developing strategies for how to extend this vision throughout individual organizations.
