PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT The UC Davis Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC) NRSA Training Core (TL1) is committed to supporting trainee diversity and providing crucial training resources in the field of equity and diversity. The overriding objectives are to facilitate individualized training pathways for a diverse workforce that crosses disciplinary boundaries and provide a pipeline of trainees to engage in academic, clinical, entrepreneurial, government, or industry-related opportunities. To continue our strong trajectory and build on a successful foundation, the specific goals of the TL1 in the next funding period include: (1) Provide a flexible interdisciplinary curriculum tailored to TL1 trainees that advance translational and clinical research core competencies; and (2) Supplement successful pathways to increase the diversity of the translational science research workforce. The goal of this Administrative Supplement to Recognize Excellence in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) Mentorship is to expand the UC Davis TL1 program by including additional scholars from under-represented backgrounds to launch their translational research careers. We have streamlined our selection process to provide additional coaching to an increasingly diverse trainee population and we are offering enhanced training opportunities which include Asking Different Questions training modules, Healthcare Delivery Science, and one-on-one career coaching. The proposed additional trainees (one medical student and two graduate students) will have access to the entire educational offer provided by the TL1 program, structured in one year for the medical student and two years for the graduate students, into which principles of equity have been thoughtfully incorporated.
