ITM CTSA KL 2学者机制的目标是培养能够利用这些工具的教师研究人员 临床和转化研究，以提高对人类疾病的理解或治疗。的 该计划将包括4个KL 2学者在任何时候。我们预计支持2年的多学科培训 对于每名选定的学者，他们将投入≥75%的精力进行研究和培训（外科医生为≥50%）。 学者必须是全职教师（通常是助理教授或讲师），但也可以是 医生科学家，护士科学家，或博士研究员。研究主题可以涉及临床的任何方面 和/或转化研究以及任何患者群体或疾病组。任何合适的研究方法 可以使用。然而，与理解或治疗人类疾病的相关性必须是 演示。所有学者将有多学科的指导团队，其中包括多名成员，并将 获得所有必要的能力。CTSA KL 2计划的影响将通过“K 社区”包括其他三个K12计划的K学者和许多个人职业发展 获奖者。ITM将支持学者职业发展的许多方面，包括 培训、沟通、指导、领导力、团队合作和企业家精神。如此则 ITM KL 2职业发展计划将帮助建立下一代临床和翻译 科学家

The goal of the ITM CTSA KL2 Scholar mechanism is to produce faculty researchers who can utilize the tools of clinical and translational research to improve the understanding or treatment of human disease. The program will include 4 KL2 Scholars at any time. We anticipate supporting 2 years of multidisciplinary training for each selected Scholar, who will devote ≥75% effort to investigation and training (≥50% for surgeons). Scholars must be full time faculty members (typically Assistant Professors or Instructors), but may be physician-scientists, nurse-scientists, or PhD investigators. Research topics can relate to any aspect of clinical and/or translational research and to any patient population or disease group. Any suitable research approach can be employed. However, relevance to the understanding or treatment of human disease must be demonstrated. All Scholars will have multidisciplinary mentorship teams containing multiple members, and will acquire all requisite competencies. The impact of the CTSA KL2 program will be amplified through a “K Community” including K Scholars in three other K12 programs and numerous individual Career Development award recipients. The ITM will support many aspects of scholar career development including training in grantsmanship, communications, mentorship, leadership, teamwork, and entrepreneurship. In this way, the ITM KL2 Career Development Program will help build the next generation of clinical and translational scientists.
