The National Institutes of Health (NIH) plays a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of biomedical and health research in the United States. As we look ahead to 2025, several potential policy changes could significantly impact the way research is conducted, funded, and disseminated. In this blog post, we will explore some of the key areas where changes may occur and discuss their implications for researchers.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are rapidly changing the technological landscape, and their potential applications in education are vast. One particularly exciting prospect is the use of LLMs to generate synthetic datasets. These artificially created datasets can mimic real educational data, offering opportunities to improve teaching, learning, and administrative processes. However, this technology also raises ethical concerns that warrant careful consideration.
