摘要 水牛城翻译联盟(BTC)翻译劳动力发展部分的总体目标 培训和发展跨专业、跨学科、种族/种族/文化多元化的 临床和转化型员工队伍，具备满足社区、地区和地区医疗保健需求的技能 这个国家。KL2辅导职业发展计划(KL2计划)将吸引有才华和积极性的人 任何健康科学学科(包括医学、护理、牙科、药学、公共卫生)的学者加入 临床和转化科学工作人员开发新的诊断、预防和治疗 疾病干预措施，重点是解决影响我们社区的健康差距问题。我们会 培训学者使用跨学科方法将基础和临床进展转化为改进 医疗保健。我们将发展一支民族/种族/文化多元化的劳动力队伍，以克服日益扩大的 临床和研究事业，并解决诸如布法罗等社区的卫生不平等问题。布法罗是第三个 全国最贫穷的城市，其50%以上的人口属于传统的代表性不足[(AA(39%)， HA(11%)、NA/PI(0.8%)](2010年人口普查)和/或服务不足的少数群体。难民占全国难民总数的5%以上。 水牛种群。 该KL2计划的目标是通过支持至少四名初级教员/内科科学家学者 两年，期望通过培训和导师的帮助，他们可以再获得三年的时间 通过K奖的个人资助来完成五年培训计划。这项计划得到了补充 通过并与机构资助的院长奖学金计划相结合，该计划允许我们培训另外6名 学者在相同的条件下。第一年和第二年将有5名学者参加该计划，此后将有10名学者参加。我们 将专注于从健康科学专业中代表性不足的背景中招聘个人。这个 该计划有四个具体目标：1)吸引、参与和培训最先进的临床和转化科学 和广泛的健康科学学科，有才华和动力的早期职业研究人员来自 代表不足的群体或弱势背景和/或为健康差距带来新的视角 挑战；2)为导师和实习生制定针对个人需求的全面指导计划； 3)通过促进对学者的跨专业和跨学科培训，促进独立的途径 掌握团队科学概念；以及4)使我们的学者社区能够合作并发现新的 与其他CTSA枢纽的接触领域。该计划将培训和发展KL2学者的专业技能 并促进他们在临床和翻译工作中无缝过渡到下一个职业水平 输油管道。作为CTSA学者社区的领导者，KL2学者将有机会回馈 通过为我们社区、地区和地区的学生和同龄人提供学科方面的指导和指导 通过CTSA财团在全国范围内进行。

ABSTRACT The overall goal the Buffalo Translational Consortium (BTC) Translational Workforce Development component is training and development of an interprofessional, interdisciplinary, and ethnically/racially/culturally diverse clinical and translational workforce with skills to meet the health care needs of our community, the region and the nation. The KL2 Mentored Career Development Program (KL2 Program) will engage talented and motivated scholars in any health science discipline (including medicine, nursing, dental, pharmacy, public health) to join the clinical and translational science workforce to develop new diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic interventions for diseases with emphasis on addressing health disparities affecting our communities. We will train scholars to use an interdisciplinary approach to translate basic and clinical advances into improved healthcare. We will develop an ethnic/racial/culturally diverse workforce to overcome the growing divide between clinical and research careers, and to address health inequities in communities such as Buffalo. Buffalo is the 3rd poorest city in the country, where over 50% of its population belongs to traditional underrepresented [(AA (39%), HA (11%), NA/PI (0.8%)] (2010 Census) and/or underserved minorities. Refugees represent over 5% of the Buffalo population. The goal of this KL2 Program is to train at least four junior faculty/physician scientist scholars by supporting them for two years with the expectation that, with training and mentor assistance, they secure an additional three years of individual funding through K awards to complete the five-year training program. The program is complemented by and integrated with an institutionally funded Dean's Scholars program, which allows us to train 6 additional scholars under the same terms. There will be 5 scholars in the program in Years 1 and 2 and 10 thereafter. We will focus on recruiting individuals from underrepresented backgrounds in health science professions. The program has four specific aims: 1) Attract, engage, and train in state-of-the-art clinical and translational science and a broad range of health science disciplines talented and motivated early career investigators who come from underrepresented groups or disadvantaged backgrounds and/or bring new perspectives to health disparities challenges; 2) Develop comprehensive mentoring programs for mentors and trainees tailored to individual needs; 3) Promote pathways to independence by fostering inter-professional and inter-disciplinary training for scholars to master team science concepts; and 4) Empower our Community of Scholars to collaborate and identify new areas of engagement with other CTSA hubs. The program will train and develop KL2 Scholars' professional skills and facilitate a seamless transition to their next career level within the clinical and translational workforce pipeline. KL2 Scholars, as leaders of the CTSA Community of Scholars, will have the opportunity to give back by providing mentoring and guidance in the discipline to students and peers from our community, the region, and nationwide through the CTSA consortium.
