Institutional Career Development Core

我们的KL2计划旨在在任何时候发展3名高素质学者（初级教师）的职业生涯。 我们的目标是，学者成为翻译科学家谁将拥有两个基本的NCATS 能力和7个基本特征，使他们能够成为变革的推动者 translational翻译research研究spectrum光谱.这7个特征是：跨界者，团队合作者， 流程创新者、领域专家、严谨的研究人员、熟练的沟通者和系统思考者。我们将 通过跨学科团队提供指导，结构化课程和多个 丰富的机会。典型的学者将有一个2年的任期，提交申请校外资助 作为PI，并获得MSCI，虽然博士水平的工作也是可能的，并不是所有的学者都可以朝着一个 正式学位。此应用程序的另一个新功能是选择5个正式途径（学位和 非学位学者），其中4个代表翻译领域（例如数据科学）的专业化。的 KL2完全集成到UMCCTS K计划中，这是一个模仿KL2的伞式计划， 增加3个额外的机构资助的K学者。

Our KL2 program seeks to develop the careers of 3 highly qualified scholars (junior faculty) at any given time. The goal is that scholars become translational scientists who will possess both the fundamental NCATS competencies and 7 essential characteristics that will enable them to become transformational agents of change across the translational research spectrum. These 7 characteristics are: boundary crosser, team player, process innovator, domain expert, rigorous researcher, skilled communicator, and systems thinker. We will accomplish this by offering mentoring via a transdisciplinary team, a structured curriculum, and multiple enrichment opportunities. The typical scholar will have a 2-year tenure, submit an application for extramural funding as PI, and acquire an MSCI, although PhD level work is also possible, and not all scholars may work towards a formal degree. Another new feature for this application is a choice of 5 formal pathways (for both degree and non-degree scholars), 4 of which represent specialization in a translational domain (e.g. data science). The KL2 is fully integrated into the UMCCTS K program, which is an umbrella program modeled after the KL2 but adding 3 additional institutionally funded K scholars.
