CTSA K12 Program at Einstein-Montefiore

摘要 此应用程序旨在继续长期CTSA支持的职业发展计划，以确定， 培养和支持敬业和有才华的卫生专业人员和科学家，使他们获得知识， 他们需要建立成功的，有影响力的职业生涯，作为临床/翻译研究者和领导者， 转化科学爱因斯坦-蒙蒂菲奥里计划一直确定了大量的高度 有能力的申请人，并任命，支持和培养优秀的学者谁去了， 取得巨大成功。我们的53名毕业生发表了1800多份科学出版物，并获得了超过 9000万美元的研究经费。我们通过一系列精心构建的方案来做到这一点。 教育活动加上每个学者的研究活动，在一个监督的眼睛进行， 由学者挑选的指导团队（与弥合翻译分歧的共同导师）。我们提出了一个强有力的 针对所有K12导师的导师培训计划，强调翻译合作者的独特责任， 指导。 在目前的应用中，我们正在建立在这一成功的记录，并制定了几个新的计划 倡议和优先事项，包括重新关注多样性（扩大定义，包括 种族、民族、性别和专业背景的多样性）。我们致力于专业多样性 通过计划任命我们的第一位博士培训的护士调查员，以及种族/民族多样性， 优先任命来自医学和科学背景的学者。此外 针对这些学者的特点，我们还强调了两个研究重点领域 同时保留该计划的非绝对性：“脑科学”和健康公平研究 research.为了支持所有学者，我们还创建了一个新的职位，学生支持副主任， 他们将为学者提供一个安全的空间，以创建，监控和修改他们的个人发展计划 （国内流离失所者），并帮助学者成功地驾驭任何挑战。我们还在以下方面制定了新的课程： 沟通技巧、领导力发展和企业家精神，沿着数据科学的新课程。 我们职业发展计划的使命与我们配套的UM 1应用程序的主题一致， “在布朗克斯及其他地区建立桥梁”，强调我们医学院之间的研究合作， 卫生系统和两个机构服务的社区。随着我们新的领导团队和计划 增强，我们将建立在过去的成功，并准备我们的学者作出重要的新的 发现和推进转化科学的学科

ABSTRACT This application seeks to continue a longstanding CTSA-supported career development program to identify, nurture, and support dedicated and talented health professionals and scientists so that they obtain the knowledge and skills they need to build successful, impactful careers as clinical/translational investigators and leaders in translational science. The Einstein-Montefiore program has consistently identified a large number of highly capable applicants and has appointed, supported, and nurtured outstanding Scholars who have gone on to achieve great success. Our 53 graduates have published over 1800 scientific publications and obtained over $90 million in research funding. We have done this through a carefully constructed series of programmatic educational activities coupled with each Scholar’s research activities, conducted under the watchful eyes of a Scholar-selected mentoring team (with co-mentors who bridge a translational divide). We are proposing a robust mentor training initiative for all K12 mentors, emphasizing the unique responsibilities of translational co- mentoring. In the current application, we are building upon this successful track record and instituting several new program initiatives and priorities, including a renewed focus on diversity (with an expansive definition that includes diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, and professional background). We have committed to professional diversity through the planned appointment of our first PhD-trained Nurse-Investigator, and racial/ethnic diversity by prioritizing appointments of Scholars from backgrounds underrepresented in medicine and science. In addition to these priorities regarding the characteristics of the Scholars, we are also highlighting 2 areas of research focus while retaining the non-categorical nature of this program: research in the ‘brain sciences,’ and health equity research. To support all Scholars, we have also created a new position of Associate Director for Student Support, who will provide a safe space for Scholars to create, monitor, and revise their Individual Development Plans (IDPs) and to help Scholars successfully navigate any challenges. We have also developed new curricula in communication skills, leadership development, and entrepreneurship, along with new courses in data science. The mission of our career development program is aligned with the theme of our companion UM1 application, “Building Bridges in the Bronx and Beyond,” emphasizing research collaborations among our medical school, health system, and the communities both institutions serve. With our new leadership team and programmatic enhancements, we will build upon the successes of the past and prepare our Scholars to make important new discoveries and advance the discipline of translational science
