我们提出了CCTS KL 2指导职业发展学者计划。总体目标是提供 为临床和转化研究（CTR）的初级教师提供严格的多学科协作培训。 CCTS KL 2计划的具体目标是： 1)从整个CCTS合作伙伴中识别和招聘最有前途和多样化的初级教师 网络我们建议支持5组4名KL 2学者，以创造一个稳定的8名学者/年的状态， 得到了NCATS资金的支持，并增加了机构承诺。我们的节目将从一个强大的 18名合格的潜在学者（5名代表人数不足的少数民族候选人）的初步人才库， 提出了创新性的初步研究思路; 2)通过个人、同伴和团队，加强学者的个性化职业发展 辅导特别侧重于今后的赠款发展，以协助过渡到 独立我们将利用过去的机构和联邦投资在我们成功的指导 由我们的合作伙伴网络中的11个机构提供支持的计划，拥有87名初级导师的多元化人才库 和30名辅导员。整个网络的KL 2学者将有机会使用最先进的方法， 技术和专业知识，特别是在药物发现，基因组学，先进的 成像和比较有效性研究。 3)刺激密集的教学课程和协作，多学科的经验 CTR培训，重点是美国东南部流行率较高的疾病。我们将 确保每一个KL 2学者达到核心竞争力的基本标准水平， CTR.我们将为KL 2学者和其他初级研究人员提供现场和远程学习活动， 在合作伙伴网络和其他CTSA中心内以“迷你休假”的形式开展课程; 4)培养“团队科学”，继续扩大跨机构培训经验， KL 2学者和其他初级研究人员。这将包括我们训练有素的人才库的增长， 通过我们的入门指导课程和指导导师， 程序. 通过KL 2，我们将在南方腹地建立一个利用CCTS的职业发展社区 合作伙伴网络培训基础设施，资源和丰富的活动，其中“整体”在KL 2 一个程序远远大于单个部分的总和。

We propose the CCTS KL2 Mentored Career Development Scholar Program. The overall goal is to provide rigorous, multidisciplinary, collaborative training for junior faculty in clinical and translational research (CTR). The specific aims of CCTS KL2 program are to: 1) Identify and recruit the most promising and diverse junior faculty from across the CCTS Partner Network. We propose to support 5 cohorts of 4 KL2 Scholars to create a steady state of 8 Scholars/year, supported by NCATS funding with added institutional commitments. Our program will draw from a strong preliminary pool of 18 qualified potential Scholars (5 under-represented minority candidates) who each have proposed innovative preliminary study ideas; 2) Enhance the personalized career development of Scholars through individual, peer and team mentoring particularly focused on future grant development to assist in the transition towards independence. We will leverage past institutional and federal investments in our successful mentoring programs supported by 11 institutions in our Partner Network with a diverse pool of 87 Primary mentors and 30 Associate mentors. KL2 Scholars across the Network will have access to cutting edge methods, technology, and expertise across the CTR spectrum, especially in drug discovery, genomics, advanced imaging and comparative effectiveness research. 3) Stimulate an intensive didactic curriculum and collaborative, multidisciplinary experiential training in CTR with an emphasis on diseases of higher prevalence in the southeast US. We will ensure that every KL2 scholar attains a standard level of core competency in the fundamentals of CTR. We will offer KL2 Scholars and other junior investigators on-site and distance learning activities and coursework in the form of “mini-sabbaticals” within the Partner Network and with other CTSA hubs; 4) Foster “team science” and continue the expansion of cross-institutional training experiences for KL2 Scholars and other junior investigators. This will include the growth of our pool of well-trained mentors across the network through our Entering Mentoring curriculum and Mentoring-the-Mentors programs. Through the KL2, we will create a career development community in the Deep South that will utilize the CCTS Partner Network training infrastructure, resources, and enrichment activities where the “whole” in the KL2 program is much greater than the sum of individual parts.
