摘要 此申请旨在继续一个由CTSA支持的长期职业发展计划，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 以及他们作为临床/翻译研究人员和领导者建立成功、有影响力的职业生涯所需的技能 翻译科学。爱因斯坦-蒙特菲奥雷计划一贯地发现了大量高度 有能力的申请者，并任命、支持和培养了优秀的学者 取得巨大成功。我们的53名毕业生发表了1800多篇科学出版物，获得了超过 9000万美元的研究资金。我们已经通过精心构建的一系列方案做到了这一点 教育活动与每位学者的研究活动相结合，在一个 学者挑选的指导团队(有共同的导师弥合翻译上的鸿沟)。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，强调翻译合作的独特责任- 辅导。 在目前申请中，我们正在这一成功记录的基础上，制定了几个新的方案 倡议和优先事项，包括重新关注多样性(具有广泛的定义，包括 种族、民族、性别和专业背景的多样性)。我们致力于专业多元化 通过有计划地任命我们第一位受过博士培训的护士调查员，以及通过 优先任命医学和科学界代表性不足的学者。此外 对于这些关于学者的特征的优先事项，我们还强调了两个研究重点领域 同时保留该计划的非专门性：“脑科学”和健康公平的研究 研究。为了支持所有奖学金获得者，我们还设立了一个新的学生支助副主任职位， 世卫组织将为学者们提供一个安全的空间来创建、监控和修改他们的个人发展计划 (国内流离失所者)，并帮助学者成功应对任何挑战。我们还开发了新的课程， 沟通技能、领导力发展和企业家精神，以及数据科学方面的新课程。 我们职业发展计划的使命与我们配套的UM1应用程序的主题一致， “在布朗克斯和更远的地方建造桥梁”，强调我们医学院之间的研究合作， 卫生系统和这两个机构所服务的社区。与我们的新领导团队和方案 加强，我们将在过去的成功基础上再接再厉，并使我们的学者们做好准备，以取得重要的新成果 翻译科学的发现与学科发展

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
