ABSTRACT Since 2008, the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio’s CTSA KL2 Mentored Career Development Program has had an exemplary track record of training and mentoring junior faculty. Our program has been recognized nationally for the diversity of its Scholars, with 55% women and 33% under-represented persons. It is also recognized for forming and co-leading a national KL2 PI/Directors Consortium Group, which meets regularly to network, share best practices, and develop innovative programs, such as the Virtual CTSA Visiting Scholars Program, in which KL2 Scholars throughout the CTSA Consortium can visit other CTSA hubs to network with experts in their field and to deliver a nationally streamed CTSA Grand Rounds. Our KL2 program has provided 2 years of support for our Scholars, with a required third year of support funded by the Scholar’s home department. To date, our KL2 program, like others in the CTSA Consortium, has focused on translational research – the endeavor to traverse a particular step of the translational process for a particular target or disease. Yet, historically, the process of translation has been notoriously slow. For the new K12 program, we have the opportunity to add a focus on translational science, the field of investigation focused on understanding the scientific and operational principles underlying each step of the translational process in order to catalyze translation. As such, we will incorporate new training in translational science based on competencies we published for a translational researcher vs. a translational scientist; diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility; dissemination and implementation; and leadership. The curriculum will be co-developed with the University of Utah CTSA and targeted to K12 Scholars from both CTSA hubs, T32 Trainees, and other members of the translational science workforce; once developed, the curriculum will be shared with the CTSA Consortium. We will continue our rigorous and inclusive Scholar selection process. For their research projects, each K12 Scholar will incorporate a component of translational science. Scholars will be mentored by a team of mentors, including a clinician; the primary mentors will undergo evidence-based mentor training, with an emphasis on mentoring under-represented Scholars. With the formalization of our partnerships with UT Austin, UT San Antonio, and Texas Biomedical Research Institute, we will increase the number of CTSA-funded Scholars from the current 4 at a time to 5 at a time, plus 3 institutionally funded Scholars. We will diversify the leadership of the K12 by adding a female multi-PI from UT Austin and by mentoring an under-represented former Scholar to become a K12 program leader. To continue the highly successful Virtual CTSA Visiting Scholar Program once support by the national CTSA coordinating center sunsets, we, with K12/KL2 programs at Harvard, the University of North Carolina, and Stanford, will assume management of the program, create innovative features, and evaluate program and Scholar experiences. Together, these K12 program features promise to yield investigators who will become leaders in translational research and the science of translation.

摘要 自2008年以来，UT健康科学中心在圣安东尼奥的CTSA KL 2辅导职业生涯 发展计划在培训和指导初级教师方面有着堪称典范的记录。我们的节目 该大学因其学者的多样性而在全国范围内得到认可，其中55%为女性，33%为女性 人士它还被公认为形成和共同领导一个国家的KL 2 PI/董事财团集团， 定期举行会议，以建立网络，分享最佳实践，并制定创新计划，如虚拟CTSA 访问学者计划，其中KL 2学者在整个CTSA联盟可以访问其他CTSA枢纽 与各自领域的专家建立联系，并提供全国性的CTSA大圆桌会议。我们的KL 2计划 为我们的学者提供了2年的支持，第三年所需的支持由学者资助。 内政部。迄今为止，我们的KL 2计划，像CTSA联盟中的其他计划一样，专注于翻译 研究-奋进遍历特定目标或疾病的翻译过程的特定步骤。 然而，从历史上看，翻译的过程是出了名的缓慢。对于新的K12计划，我们有 有机会增加对翻译科学的关注，调查领域侧重于了解 翻译过程中每一步的科学和操作原则，以催化 翻译.因此，我们将根据我们的能力纳入翻译科学的新培训， 为翻译研究人员与翻译科学家出版;多样性，公平，包容性和可访问性; 传播和执行;以及领导。该课程将与哥伦比亚大学共同开发。 犹他州CTSA，目标是来自两个CTSA中心的K12学者、T32学员和 翻译科学劳动力;一旦开发，课程将与CTSA联盟共享。我们 我们将继续严格和包容性的学者选拔过程。对于他们的研究项目，每个K12学者 将包含转化科学的一部分。学者将由一个导师团队指导，包括 一名临床医生;主要导师将接受循证导师培训，重点是指导 代表性不足的学者随着我们与UT奥斯汀，UT圣安东尼奥，和 德州生物医学研究所，我们将增加CTSA资助的学者从目前的4 一次增加到5人，加上3名机构资助的学者。我们将通过以下方式使K12的领导层多样化： 从UT奥斯汀增加一名女性多PI，并指导一名代表性不足的前学者成为一名 K12项目负责人继续非常成功的虚拟CTSA访问学者计划，一旦支持， 国家CTSA协调中心日落，我们，与K12/KL 2计划在哈佛，北方大学 卡罗莱纳和斯坦福大学将负责该项目的管理，创造创新功能，并评估 计划和学者的经验。总之，这些K12计划的特点承诺产生调查人员谁将 成为翻译研究和翻译科学的领导者。
