Seek information from the community, broader partners (e.g. charities), other Research Councils, other Strategy Panels and Committees on current and emerging skills needs, and advise BBSRC on any issues regarding the capacity or capability of the research base to meet identified skills needs
Advise BBSRC on policies for the targeted support of training awards to meet future skills needs or to address vulnerabilities in the supply of people with specific skills
