CTSA Postdoctoral T32 at University of Utah: Spheres of Translation Across the Research Spectrum (STARS) Training Program

项目总结 本次T32博士后培养计划提出每年培养博士后3人，共计15人 横跨5年。每名学员将获得为期两年的资助。我们将打造一支具有以下特点的学者干部队伍 掌握所有三个翻译领域的知识和经验，并有很强的责任感 跨学科的团队科学。该T32将提供必要的早期职业培训，以产生一个 不同的训练有素的科学家拥有必要的技能来解决国家的生物医学，行为， 和临床研究的需要。我们的概念框架将翻译连续体组织为三个 领域：发现、演示和传播。学者承担并成为领域专家 在一个领域内，并在跨领域的桥接域和暴露中接受培训，出现 他们的研究如何适应翻译科学的广度，以及如何 这些发现贯穿了整个连续体。除了由主要导师监督的特定领域培训外， T32计划包括以下方面的培训：(1)翻译科学研究的核心知识；(2)和 团队科学所需的技能；(3)公平、多样性和包容性(EDI)如何促进科学卓越； (4)研究道德和可再现性；(4)社区参与；(5)职业和领导力发展；(6) 资助和手稿写作；(7)沟通领域和科学与世俗的交流。我们是平等的 致力于确保不同的学者群体，以确保科学家的渠道与 他们研究的对象。然而，招募不同的学者并不足以确保环境 在那里，不同的学者可以茁壮成长。要创建这样的空间，关键是向所有学员和导师传授 科学和医学中的种族主义历史，以及如何成为一名反种族主义的科学家。因此，所有受训人员和他们的 初级导师将接受此培训。在他们的培训期间，T32学者将接受全面的指导和 职业指导不仅来自他们的主要导师，还包括次要的、接近同行的和项目领导。在……里面 与导师合作，我们将培养一支在各自领域成为专家的学者队伍，具有 掌握翻译科学知识，具有创新和推动翻译的能力，以及 他们是熟练的沟通者、跨境者和团队合作伙伴，对 跨学科的团队科学。我们的首要目标是培养出具有战略意义的新一代科学家 其知识广度和跨国界沟通能力的翻译重点将 增加跨学科交叉受精，加快医疗进步。

PROJECT SUMMARY This T32 postdoctoral training program proposes to train 3 postdoctoral trainees annually, totaling 15 trainees across 5 years. Each trainee will receive funding for two years. We will create a cadre of scholars with commanding knowledge and experiences across all three translational spheres as well as a deep commitment to transdisciplinary team science. This T32 will provide the necessary early-career training to produce a diverse pool of highly trained scientists with the requisite skills to address the nation’s biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs. Our conceptual framework organizes the translational continuum into three spheres: Discovery, Demonstration, and Dissemination. Scholars undertake and become domain experts within one sphere and receive training in bridging domains and exposure across the spheres, emerging with a broad, invaluable perspective of how their research fits within the breadth of translational science and how discoveries move through the continuum. In addition to domain-specific training overseen by primary mentors, the T32 program includes training in: (1) core knowledge of translational science research; (2) the value of and skills needed in team science; (3) how equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) contribute to scientific excellence; (4) research ethics and reproducibility; (4) community engagement; (5) career and leadership development; (6) grant and manuscript writing; and (7) bridging domains and scientific and lay communication. We are equally committed to ensuring a diverse group of scholars in order to ensure the pipeline of scientists are as diverse as the subjects they research. However, recruiting diverse scholars is not enough to ensure an environment where diverse scholars can thrive. To create such a space, it is critical to teach to all trainees and mentors the history of racism in science and medicine and how to be an anti-racist scientist. Thus, all trainees and their primary mentors will receive this training. During their training T32 scholars will receive holistic mentoring and career guidance from not only their primary mentor, but also secondary, near-peer, and program leadership. In collaboration with mentors, we will develop a cadre of scholars who are experts in their domains, with a commanding knowledge of translational science, who have the ability to innovate and advance translation, and who are skilled communicators, boundary crossers, and team-players with a deep commitment to transdisciplinary team science. Our overarching goal is to produce a new generation of scientists with strategic translational emphases whose breadth of knowledge and ability to communicate across boundaries will increase transdisciplinary cross-fertilization and accelerate healthcare advances.
