Institutional Career Development Core

该计划建立在我们以前运营一个非常成功的“小枢纽”的经验教训的基础上。 KL2计划，扩展了我们行之有效的导师/学员培训战略，以增强协作技能 和团队科学，以及以前邀请潜在的初级教员学者参与临床和翻译研究 他们通常能够竞争一个由K资助的职位。我们建议与附近地区进行新的合作 CTSA中心，并继续设计和评估新的培训经验，然后与国家 CTSA财团。我们的计划利用与我们所有其他核心的协作网络 乔治敦-霍华德大学临床和翻译科学中心(GHUCCTS) 与我们的TL1博士后和博士后项目整合和协同。我们利用的是一位非常有资质的 来自乔治敦大学和霍华德大学的申请者以及来自MedStar Health的申请者是多样化的 到之前的科学和专业培训、学科、翻译阶段(S)、研究重点、性别、种族和 种族问题。这种多样性使我们的培训计划高度个性化和以能力为基础，以 同等多样化的双人/团队指导，以促进协作跨学科团队科学的追求 解决重要的健康差距问题。我们的KL2职业发展计划旨在1)指导被辅导者 来自任何地方的非常有前途的初级教师翻译调查人员的研究生涯发展 学院内的学科、部门或符合条件的机构；2)个性化发展和培训 为每个KL2学者制定计划，同时确保在负责任的行为中有共同的价值观和行为核心 研究、团队科学技能和翻译研究的核心能力；以及3)丰富管道 和初级教师翻译学者社区，特别是来自历史上代表不足的群体 生物医学研究，通过设计和扩展研讨会、课程、指导经验和新颖的培训 为我们的学者和那些还没有准备好竞争KL2支持或其他职业道路的人提供方法，所以 他们都可能为严谨和有影响力的翻译研究做出贡献。我们提出了一个评估计划， 重点关注学者(在培训期间和培训后)、导师、课程、 教育经验、计划领导和管理，以及具体指标和建议 委员会的投入，以利于对拟议的职业生涯进行关键修订和持续改进 发展计划。

The program builds on lessons learned from our prior experience in operating a highly successful “small hub” KL2 program, expands our proven strategies for mentor/mentee training, for enhancing skills in collaboration and team science, and for engaging potential junior faculty scholars into clinical and translational research before they would normally be able to compete for a K-funded position. We propose new collaborations with nearby CTSA Hubs and to continue to design and evaluate novel training experiences to then be shared with the national CTSA consortium. Our program leverages a meshwork of collaborations with all of the other cores in our Georgetown-Howard Universities Center for Clinical and Translational Science (GHUCCTS) Hub and is tightly integrated and synergistic with our TL1 pre- and postdoctoral programs. We draw upon a richly-qualified applicant pool from Georgetown and Howard Universities and from MedStar Health that is diverse with respect to prior scientific and professional training, discipline, translational stage(s), research focus, gender, race and ethnicity. This diversity informs our highly individualized and competency-based training program, anchored by equally-diverse dual/team mentorship in order to favor the pursuit of collaborative interdisciplinary team science addressing important health disparities. Our KL2 career development program aims to 1) guide the mentored research career development of exceptionally-promising junior faculty translational investigators from any discipline, department, or eligible institution within GHUCCTS; 2) individualize the development and training plans for each KL2 Scholar, while ensuring a common core of values and behaviors in the responsible conduct of research, skills in team science, and core competencies in translational research; and 3) enrich the pipeline and community of junior faculty translational scholars, especially from groups historically underrepresented in biomedical research, by design and expansion of workshops, courses, mentored experiences and novel training methods for our scholars and for those not yet ready to compete for KL2 support or in other career pathways, so that they all may contribute to rigorous and impactful translational research. We propose an evaluation plan that focused on both program process and outcomes for scholars (during and after training), mentors, curricula, educational experiences, program leadership and administration along with specific metrics and advisory committee input in order to favor critical revision and continued improvement of the proposed career development program.
