国家临床和转化科学奖（CTSA）联盟2.0已经开发了通用指标，作为所有参与研究中心的合作项目。该报告阐述了联合体的几个重要方面和职能，包括劳动力发展。为所有CTSA中心提出的第一批劳动力发展指标包括CTSA支持的学员和学者在翻译研究中具有可持续职业生涯的比例以及项目的多样性和包容性。犹他州大学临床和转化科学中心（CCTS）是CTSA的一个中心，在过去的十年里一直积极参与指导转化科学家。我们制定了支持转化科学家的计划，流程和机构政策，这导致我们的KL 2学者100%继续从事转化科学，并增加了我们研究企业中医学代表不足的个人的参与。在本文中，我们分享我们的计划的细节，我们认为是基于证据的最佳实践，为所有有抱负的初级教师发展可持续的翻译研究事业。犹他州大学临床和转化科学中心一直在催化整个校园的互动，以扭转在全国范围内维持临床医生科学家的负面趋势不可或缺。我们的项目和流程可以作为其他寻求培养翻译科学家的机构的典范。
The National Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Consortium 2.0 has developed common metrics as a collaborative project for all participating sites. Metrics address several important aspects and functions of the consortium, including workforce development. The first workforce development metrics to be proposed for all CTSA hubs include the proportion of CTSA-supported trainees and scholars with sustainable careers in translational research and the diversity and inclusiveness of programs. The University of Utah Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS), a CTSA hub, has been actively engaged in mentoring translational scientists for the last decade. We have developed programs, processes, and institutional policies that support translational scientists, which have resulted in 100% of our KL2 scholars remaining engaged in translational science and in increasing the inclusion of individuals under-represented in medicine in our research enterprise. In this paper, we share details of our program and what we believe are evidence-based best practices for developing sustainable translational research careers for all aspiring junior faculty members. The University of Utah Center for Clinical and Translational Science has been integral in catalyzing interactions across the campus to reverse the negative trends seen nationally in sustaining clinician scientists. Our programs and processes can serve as a model for other institutions seeking to develop translational scientists.
