CTSA K12 Program at UNC

摘要 迫切需要培养一种新型的科学家，一种以需要科学知识为动力的科学家。 以公平的方式向诊所和社区提供进步，并通过促进 卫生政策和研究将促进卫生公平。这位科学家精通团队语言 科学与合作，并承认有助于跨学科科学翻译的原则。 这位科学家带来了一个包容的心态，他们如何形成和领导他们的研究团队以及方法 在他们的研究中使用。这些特征描述了一个翻译科学家。转换平移 研究人员，历史上训练有素的学科和疾病的具体方法，转化为科学家 这就需要从传统的职业发展计划中走出来。为了满足这一需求，拟议的新 CTSA K12计划，基因Orringer推进转化科学职业发展奖在 位于查佩尔山的北卡罗来纳州大学（UNC-CH）将支持9名早期职业学者， 研究和职业发展活动的保护时间长达3年。CTSA K12的目标 主要是：1）招募致力于加速生物医学进步实施的初级教师 通过追求以团队为基础的翻译科学; 2）增加学者的招聘工作， 在生物医学科学中代表性不足的群体; 3）提供必要的基础设施和保护时间， 学者们通过指导，教学， 体验式学习的形式适应他们的具体需求; 4）赋予学者必要的 领导、管理、福祉和复原力技能以及多样性、公平和包容性培训， 通过教学和体验式培训，职业指导和 职业发展经验; 5）准备学者，以确定和解决健康差距，通过重点 系统科学、卫生公平和社区/利益攸关方参与方面的培训和应用经验; 6)通过要求导师和学员根据以下方面进行培训，优化指导委员会与学者的关系 循证指导实践和指导关系的积极评估; 7）培养学者 通过教学培训和指导技能，为来自不同背景的学员提供有效的指导 8）将学者纳入当前和计划中的当地UM 1的计划和服务， 同伴赠款和CTSA财团我们的方法是培养学者在拥抱一个翻译 科学思维模式，使用我们已经成功地利用了“队列培训模型”，沉浸在 学者在其他学科的同行所使用的框架，方法和操作原则， 创建一个支持系统，鼓励留在科学。CTSA K12学者将成熟为生产力 和独立的转化科学家，将加速研究成果转化为健康和社会效益， 从公平的透镜来看待他们的科学和领导能力。

ABSTRACT There is an urgent need to develop a new type of scientist, one who is motivated by a need to bring scientific advances to clinics and communities in an equitable fashion, and to make a long-term impact by contributing to health policies and research that will promote health equity. This scientist is fluent in the language of team science and collaboration and recognizes the principles that contribute to scientific translation across disciplines. This scientist brings an inclusive mindset to how they form and lead their research teams as well as the methods they use in their research. These characteristics describe a translational scientist. Transforming translational researchers, historically trained in discipline- and disease-specific approaches, into translational scientists requires a departure from traditional career development programs. To address this need, the proposed new CTSA K12 program, the Gene Orringer Advancing Translational Science Career Development Award at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH), will support nine early-career Scholars with at least 75% protected time for research and career development activities for up to 3 years. The objectives of the CTSA K12 are to: 1) Recruit junior faculty who are dedicated to accelerating the implementation of biomedical advances through pursuit of team-based translational science; 2) Increase recruitment efforts of Scholars from underrepresented groups in biomedical sciences; 3) Provide the necessary infrastructure and protected time for Scholars to develop skills in the seven Translational Science characteristics through mentored, didactic, and experiential learning in a format adapted to their specific needs; 4) Empower Scholars with the necessary leadership, management, well-being, and resilience skills and diversity, equity and inclusion training needed to lead diverse and inclusive research programs through didactic and experiential trainings, career coaching and career development experiences; 5) Prepare Scholars to identify and address health disparities through focused trainings and applied experiences in systems science, health equity and community/stakeholder engagement; 6) Optimize mentoring committee-Scholar relationships by requiring mentor and mentee training based on evidence-informed mentoring practices and active assessment of mentoring relationships; 7) Develop Scholars into effective mentors for mentees from diverse backgrounds through didactic training and mentor skills development; 8) Integrate Scholars into programs and services of the current and planned local UM1 and companion grants and the CTSA Consortium. Our approach is to foster Scholars in embracing a translational science mindset using a “cohort training model” that we have leveraged successfully at UNC, immersing Scholars in the frameworks, methods and operational principles used by their peers in other disciplines while creating a support system that encourages retention in science. CTSA K12 Scholars will mature into productive and independent translational scientists that will accelerate research findings into health and societal benefits by approaching their science and leadership from a lens of equity.
