Coupled with the above was a concern among many workshop participants that certain types of research, such as research in human factors, which need to be considered early in the process, have not been addressed sufficiently. These participants noted that human factors is an area that needs to be intentionally articulated early and throughout the program, since problems that are not addressed early can be difficult to fix later.
