Looks like there will be a few research groups at base camp this year:
A group from the Mayo clinic researching the effects of high altitudes on the body: http://advancingthescience.mayo.edu/
From Yale University, David Breashears researching the impact of global warming on the Himalayan Glaciers: http://e360.yale.edu/content/feature.msp?id=2295
A team from National geographic will be retracing a 1963 American route up the mountain with climber Conrad Anker, photographer Cory Richards and writer Mark Jenkins.

Hopefully we will get there in time to meet and see some of these teams in action!
