CTSA K12 Program at UNC

摘要 迫切需要培养一种新型的科学家，这种科学家的动机是让科学 以公平的方式向诊所和社区推进，并通过以下方式产生长期影响 促进健康公平的健康政策和研究。这位科学家通晓团队的语言 科学和协作，并承认有助于跨学科科学翻译的原则。 这位科学家给他们如何组建和领导他们的研究团队以及方法带来了包容的心态 他们在研究中使用了。这些特征描述了一名转化型科学家。实现翻译转型 历史上受过学科和疾病专门方法培训的研究人员，变成了翻译科学家 需要背离传统的职业发展计划。为了满足这一需要，拟议的新 CTSA K12计划，吉恩·奥林格先进翻译科学职业发展奖 北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校(UNC-CH)将以至少75%的资金支持9名职业早期学者 受保护的研究和职业发展活动时间最长可达3年。CTSA K12的目标 1)招聘致力于加快实施生物医学进步的初级教员 通过追求以团队为基础的翻译科学；2)加大对以下领域学者的招聘力度 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受保护的时间 学者通过指导、讲授和培训发展翻译科学的七个特点的技能 以适合其特定需求的形式进行体验式学习；4)为学者提供必要的 领导力、管理、幸福感和复原力技能以及多样性、公平和包容性培训 通过指导性和体验式培训、职业指导和 职业发展经验；5)使学者们做好准备，通过集中精力识别和解决健康差距 在系统科学、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接受基于以下方面的培训，优化导师委员会与学者之间的关系 循证指导实践和对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导师 发展；8)将学者纳入当前和计划中的当地UM1的方案和服务 伙伴奖助金和CTSA联盟。我们的方法是培养学者们接受翻译 使用我们在北卡罗来纳大学成功利用的“队列培训模式”的科学思维，沉浸在 学者们了解其他学科同行使用的框架、方法和操作原理，而 创建一个鼓励留住科学的支持系统。CTSA K12学者将成熟为多产 和独立的翻译科学家，将通过以下方式加快对健康和社会效益的研究结果 从公平的角度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.
