ITM CTSA KL2奖学金机制的目标是培养能够利用这些工具的教员研究人员 临床和转化性研究，以提高对人类疾病的理解或治疗。这个 该计划将随时包括4名KL2奖学金获得者。我们预计将支持为期两年的多学科培训 对于每一位被选中的学者，他们将投入≥75%的精力进行调查和培训(外科医生将投入≥50%)。 学者必须是全职教员(通常是助理教授或讲师)，但也可以是 内科科学家、护士科学家或博士研究人员。研究主题可以涉及临床的任何方面 和/或转化性研究以及任何患者群体或疾病组。任何合适的研究方法 可以被雇佣。然而，与理解或治疗人类疾病有关的必须是 演示了。所有学者将拥有由多名成员组成的多学科指导团队，并将 获得所有必备的能力。CTSA KL2计划的影响将通过“K”放大 社区“包括其他三个K12项目中的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 资质、沟通、指导、领导力、团队合作和企业家精神。通过这种方式， ITM KL2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.
