Institutional Career Development Core

杜克大学CTSA KL2计划将为青少年提供培训和研究机会 将使他们能够参与并最终领导跨学科研究的研究人员 超越传统科学孤岛并接受不同利益相关者投入的团队；促进 将发现推进到下一个翻译阶段；利用当地的合作伙伴关系， 在区域和国家范围内加强他们的发现的影响；并促进 发展多元化的劳动力队伍。我们将在之前KL2计划的成功基础上再接再厉 (2013-2018年)：在14名学者中，每名学者平均发表论文24篇； 参加该项目至少2年的8人中，有3人接受了外部研究 资金(R01、K23或同等)，5项提案目前正在审查中。此外，我们 实现了我们的创新基准，即为代表不足的少数群体(URM)提供至少50%的资金 学者。 在拟议的计划中，我们将通过(1)扩大我们的领导力来加强KL2计划 团队共同跨越翻译领域；(2)聘请具有以下特点的KL2导师 已指导了1300多名学员(192名URM；203名后续K或R资金)，以及 他们领导大型合作项目，因此可以在团队科学原则上指导学者 和实践；(3)为KL2学者提供教学和体验计划，包括 翻译科学、团队科学、健康差距研究方法、 个人量身定做的职业发展主题和模拟审查过程；(4)促进使用 由所有CTSA核心的KL2学者；(5)让学者参与“学者社区”；以及(6) 支持杜克大学的KL2项目和其他CTSA之间的项目合作。 重要的是，我们将继续致力于研究劳动力多样性(=50%URM 学者)，并扩大战略，以确保其继续成功，如纵向 指导、KL2应用程序支持以及与其他KL2计划分享最佳实践。 通过这些活动，杜克大学KL2奖学金获得者将准备好获得独立资助 并帮助和领导将生物医学和相关发现转化为可持续的公众 健康福利。

The Duke CTSA KL2 program will provide training and research opportunities for junior investigators that will equip them to participate in and ultimately lead transdisciplinary research teams that transcend traditional scientific silos and embrace diverse stakeholder input; facilitate advancement of discoveries to their next translational phase; leverage partnerships locally, regionally, and nationally to enhance the impact of their discoveries; and promote the development of a diverse workforce. We will build on the success of our previous KL2 program (2013-2018): among 14 scholars, the average number of publications per scholar is 24; and of the 8 who have been in the program for at least 2 years, 3 have received external research funding (R01, K23, or equivalent), and 5 have proposals currently in review. In addition, we achieved our innovative benchmark of funding at least 50% under-represented minority (URM) scholars. In the proposed program, we will enhance the KL2 program by (1) expanding our leadership team to collectively span the translational spectrum; (2) engaging a pool of KL2 mentors that has mentored more than 1,300 mentees (192 URM; 203 with subsequent K or R funding), and who lead large collaborative projects, and can thus mentor scholars on team science principles and practice; (3) providing KL2 scholars with a didactic and experiential program that includes the fundamentals of translational science, team science, health disparities research methods, individually-tailored career development topics, and a mock review process; (4) facilitating use by KL2 scholars of all CTSA cores; (5) engaging scholars in a “Community of Scholars”; and (6) supporting programmatic collaborations between Duke’s KL2 program and other CTSAs. Importantly, we will continue our commitment to research workforce diversity (>=50% URM scholars), with expanded strategies to ensure its continued success, such as longitudinal mentorship, KL2 application support and sharing best practices with other KL2 programs. Through these activities, Duke KL2 scholars will be poised to advance to independent funding and contribute to and lead translation of biomedical and related discoveries into sustained public health benefits.
