CTSA Institutional Mentored Career Development Program (KL2)

项目摘要 在发展一个蓬勃发展的国家转化研究企业的核心是需要发展下一个 一代又一代的研究人员精通转化研究的技术和文化，能够合作 在团队和跨学科中。已建立的塔夫茨CTSI KL 2计划已证明成功， 培训继续从事旨在改善健康的转化研究的初级教师。 在我们成功的基础上，我们将通过以下目标扩大我们的培训：KL 2 AIM 1：招聘， 选择并培训一批对翻译感兴趣并有前途的年轻教师 在整个T1-T4范围内进行研究，部署五个KL 2职位，以利用合作伙伴关系 跨塔夫茨CTSI; KL 2 AIM 2：提供广泛的翻译研究培训，传授所需的技能， 在转化科学领域的职业生涯。这将包括特殊的培训，包括正式的教学 培训，多学科团队指导，并通过初级教师研究生涯的支持 发展论坛和塔夫茨CTSI资源; KL 2 AIM 3：通过以下方式扩大职业发展机会 增加工作室和实践体验学习，以加强以下方面的转化研究培训：a）团队科学; B）利益相关者参与; c）临床试验创新; d）研究过程改进; e）药物和 器械开发/监管过程。 我们的培训成果将是一组跨塔夫茨多个学科的翻译研究人员 在广泛参与的团队方法方面具有高度技能的CTSI。这些调查人员需要 推进跨学科转化研究，以应对改善健康的复杂挑战。

PROJECT SUMMARY At the core of developing a thriving national translational research enterprise is the need to develop the next generations of researchers skilled in the techniques and culture of translational research, able to collaborate within teams and across disciplines. The established Tufts CTSI KL2 program has demonstrated success in training junior faculty who remain engaged in their careers in translational research aimed at improving health. Building on our success, we will expand upon our training through the following aims: KL2 AIM 1: Recruit, select, and train a diverse group of junior faculty who demonstrate interest and promise in translational research across the entire T1-T4 spectrum, deploying five KL2 positions that will leverage the partnerships across Tufts CTSI; KL2 AIM 2: Provide broad translational research training that imparts the skills needed for a sustained career in translational science. This will include exceptional training that includes formal didactic training, multi-disciplinary team mentoring, and support through the Junior Faculty Research Career Development Forum and Tufts CTSI resources; KL2 AIM 3: Expand career development opportunities by adding studio and practica experiential learning to enhance translational research training in: a) Team science; b) Stakeholder engagement; c) Clinical trial innovation; d) Research process improvement; and e) Drug and device development/regulatory processes. The outcome of our training will be a group of translational investigators across multiple disciplines within Tufts CTSI who are highly skilled in broadly engaged team approaches. These are the investigators needed to advance interdisciplinary translational research that will address the complex challenges to improving health.
