了解促进临床和转化科学职业发展获奖者职业成功的因素，并重新概念化对该人群职业成功的理解。 2013 年至 2014 年，作者对来自 9 个临床和转化科学奖资助机构的前 NIH KL2 或 K12 学者进行了半结构化访谈。参与者在上一次 K 奖结束后至少两年内获得或尚未获得独立资助。问题涵盖了促进或阻碍初级研究人员过渡到独立资助的因素。采访被记录和转录，并对转录内容进行了主题分析。共有 40 人参与，其中男性和女性以及独立和非独立资助的调查人员的代表性相同。促进成功的个人因素包括：网络、毅力和韧性、主动性、自主性以及个人和职业的平衡。组织因素包括：适当的指导、受保护的研究时间以及机构资源和支持。即使是独立资助的参与者也描述了职业方向方面的挑战。五名没有独立资助的参与者模拟了广泛的成功职业道路，并担任了不依赖赠款资助的领导职务。职业成功的其他定义包括：改善公共卫生、享受工作、看到学员成功以及获得外部对成功的认可。了解促进或阻碍职业成功的因素可以帮助初级教师、导师和机构领导者支持临床和转化科学的职业发展。职业成功需要新的定义，想要从事首席研究员以外角色研究的教师的职业道路也是如此。
To understand the factors that facilitate career success for career development awardees in clinical and translational science and to reconceptualize understanding of career success for this population. In 2013–2014, the authors conducted semi-structured interviews with former NIH KL2 or K12 scholars from nine Clinical and Translational Science Award-funded institutions. Participants either had or had not secured independent funding at least two years after the end of their last K award. Questions covered the factors that facilitate or hinder junior investigators’ transition to independent funding. Interviews were recorded and transcribed and the transcripts analyzed thematically. Forty individuals participated, with equal representation by men and women and by independently and not independently funded investigators. Personal factors that facilitated success included: networks, persistence and resilience, initiative, autonomy, and personal and professional balance. Organizational factors included: appropriate mentorship, protected research time, and institutional resources and support. Even independently funded participants described challenges regarding career direction. Five participants without independent funding modeled a broad spectrum of successful career paths, having assumed leadership positions not reliant on grant funding. Alternative definitions of career success included: improving public health, enjoying work, seeing mentees succeed, and receiving external acknowledgement of successes. Awareness of the factors that facilitate or hinder career success can help junior faculty, mentors, and institutional leaders support career development in clinical and translational science. New definitions of career success are needed, as are career paths for faculty who want to engage in research in roles other than principal investigator.
