Together: Transforming and Translating Discovery to Improve Health

佛罗里达临床大学辅导式职业发展计划(KL2)的总体目标 翻译科学研究所(CTSI)旨在教育和培训有抱负的不同的、多学科的研究人员 到科研翻译中的领导角色。CTSA KL2课程大多招收医学博士或博士学位； 护理、牙科、药学、公共卫生、 在整个国家CTSA计划中，兽医和其他健康专业一直受到限制。这个 佛罗里达大学CTSI处于独特的地位，可以增强其当前的KL2课程，以创建一个新的 多学科、跨专业的职业发展计划，培养来自不同领域的成功调查人员 具有临床/转化性研究的学术和专业背景。UF健康科学中心已经 所有六所健康科学学院(牙科、医学、护理、公共卫生和保健专业、 药学、兽医)和许多其他学科合并在一个UF校园内。首先，我们将 开发创新的课程，包括教学课程、指导研究和专业研究 拥有专业博士学位的人获得核心能力的发展经验 学位(如MD、DDS、DVM、医药D、DOT/DPT)或博士学位才能在 翻译研究。其次，通过接触广泛的职业生涯，丰富培训经验 在不同的培训环境(行业、政府、社区)中提供发展机会，以培养技能 教育和教学、助学金撰写、多学科团队科学和领导力。第三，我们将招聘和 保留三名高资历的KL2奖学金和三名机构资助的K奖学金，为期两年 培训在人口统计学、学科、研究兴趣和职业规划方面不同的人。第四, 该项目对培训翻译研究多学科领导者的影响，以及他们对核心知识的掌握 能力，他们完成教学和经验学习的机会，以及他们的职业轨迹 将被跟踪和评估。最后，翻译研究中的早期职业调查人员国家联盟 在牙科、职业/物理治疗、药学、公共卫生、护理和兽医领域 将组织医学开发和共享教育工具和课程，以丰富翻译 所有卫生职业的研究、培训和学术领导能力发展。这个KL2计划将是 通过创建职业发展资源实现变革性，不仅限于KL2学者，还与 在UF和其他CTSA中心指导职业发展(K)计划。

The overall goal of the Mentored Career Development Program (KL2) of the University of Florida Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) is to educate and train diverse, multidisciplinary investigators who aspire to leadership roles in research translation. CTSA KL2 Programs have mostly enrolled MD’s or PhD’s; opportunities for development of translational research careers in nursing, dentistry, pharmacy, public health, veterinary medicine and other health professions have been limited across the National CTSA Program. The University of Florida CTSI is uniquely positioned to enhance its current KL2 Program to create a novel multidisciplinary, interprofessional career development program to train successful investigators from diverse academic and professional backgrounds in clinical/translational research. The UF Health Science Center has all six Health Science Colleges (Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Public Health and Health Professions, Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine) and many other disciplines incorporated within one UF campus. First, we will develop an innovative curriculum, comprised of didactic coursework, mentored research and professional development experiences for the attainment of core competencies that persons with professional doctorate degrees (e.g. MD, DDS, DVM, Pharm D, DOT/DPT) or PhD’s require in order to successfully pursue careers in translational research. Second, the training experience will be enriched with exposure to broad-based career development opportunities in diverse training settings (industry, government, community), to build skills in education and teaching, grant writing, multidisciplinary team science, and leadership. Third, we will recruit and retain three highly qualified KL2 Scholars and three institutionally supported K Scholars for two years of training who are diverse with regard to demography, discipline, research interests, and career plans. Fourth, the program’s impact on training multidisciplinary leaders in translational research, their mastery of core competencies, their completion of didactic and experiential learning opportunities, and their career trajectories will be tracked and evaluated. Finally, national consortia of early career investigators in translational research in the fields of dentistry, occupational/physical therapy, pharmacy, public health, nursing, and veterinary medicine will be organized to develop and share educational tools and curricula which enrich translational research training and academic leadership development in all health professions. This KL2 program will be transformative by creation of career development resources not limited to KL2 Scholars but shared with Mentored Career Development (K) Programs across UF and other CTSA Hubs.
