Conduits: MSHS Translational Science Hub

拟议的TL1管道培训计划的首要目标是临床和医学研究所 翻译科学，是发展临床翻译科学的创新教育经验 从而促进招聘、培训、指导和留住来自不同领域的人才 受启发从事团队科学以改善人类健康的背景。拟议的计划是 专为直接解决未得到满足的特殊需求、挑战和建议而设计 加强临床研究人员渠道：1)目前的劳动力队伍缺乏多样性， 赞同在促进少数群体参与翻译的出现方面进行重大投资 科学领先地位；以及2)医学博士-科学家数量的减少和摘要 关于CTSA资助医学生攻读临床硕士学位的建议 研究。为了应对这些具体的挑战，我们在TL1下提出了两个具体的培训机会 保护伞：1)基于西奈团队的翻译教育计划：URM Propeller(STTEP UP)倡议 理科和医学，专为URM大学毕业后设计(STEM领域：每年4名学生)和 博士后(特别是住院医师和副专业研究员：每年4名学生)实习生；以及2)新的 入学(医学院第一年完成后)门户网站(MD/MSCR)计划(3名学生/年)， 旨在吸引医学生(特别是URM和经济困难的学生)，他们可能不会 以前都有机会考虑这种类型的职业机会。这项培训工作将 利用我们与伦斯勒理工学院(RPI)的合作伙伴关系，以及科学、临床和 ISMMS和MSHS的教育专业知识。这些努力还将建立在以前CTSA资助和 在翻译疗法、基因组学、大数据分析、个性化方面的机构投资受到启发 医学、特定人群的健康和临床试验专业知识、社区参与、团队科学和 师徒关系。为了优化和丰富这项培训工作，我们已经将其融入到我们的课程努力中， CTSA提案的其他组成部分的方案优势和专门知识，并将利用 与其他CTSA中心的教育领导以前建立和正在进行的合作。最后，为了更多 我们将开发和实施新颖的基于游戏的游戏，有效地教育我们的学员了解翻译科学 学习工具，与RPI的游戏和模拟艺术与科学计划合作。我们建议 创建和传播旨在专门满足以下需求的早期管道计划模型 翻译研究劳动力中代表不足的少数族裔(URM)成员。教育项目 所描述的将培养批判性思维以及获得方法技能和原则 富有成效的团队合作，使拥有学科相关知识的个人能够应用他们的专业知识来开发 翻译科学研究计划，将加速发现，以改善健康。

The overarching goal of the proposed TL1 training program for Conduits, the Institute for Clinical and Translational Sciences, is to develop innovative educational experiences in clinical translational science thereby fostering recruitment, training, mentorship and retention of talented individuals from diverse backgrounds who are inspired to engage in team science to improve human health. The proposed program is specifically designed to directly address singular unmet needs, challenges and recommendations for strengthening the clinical investigator pipeline: 1) lack of diversity within the current workforce, with strong endorsement for significant investments in fostering the emergence of minority participation in translational science leadership; and 2) diminishing numbers of MD physician-scientists and summary recommendations for CTSA provisions of funding for medical students to earn a Master’s in Clinical Research. To address these specific challenges we propose two specific training opportunities under the TL1 umbrella: 1) the Sinai Team-based Translational Education Program: the URM Propeller (STTEP UP) Initiative for Science and Medicine, designed for URM post-baccalaureate (STEM fields: 4 students per year) and postdoctoral (residents and subspecialty fellows in particular: 4 students per year) trainees; and 2) the new entry (after completion of the first year of medical school) PORTAL (MD/MSCR) program (3 students/year), designed to attract medical students (in particular URM and financially disadvantaged students) who may not have previously been afforded the chance to consider this type of career opportunity. This training effort will leverage our partnership with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), and the scientific, clinical, and educational expertise of ISMMS and the MSHS. These efforts will also build upon previous CTSA-funded and inspired institutional investments in translational therapeutics, genomics, BIG Data analytics, personalized medicine, population specific health and clinical trials expertise, community engagement, team science and mentorship. To optimize and enrich this training effort we have woven into the fabric of our curricular efforts, the programmatic strengths and expertise of other components of this CTSA proposal and will capitalize upon previously established and ongoing collaborations with education leaders at other CTSA Hubs. Finally, to more effectively educate our trainees in translational science we will develop and implement novel game-based learning tools, in collaboration with the Games and Simulation Arts and Science Program at RPI. We propose to create and disseminate models of early pipeline programs designed to specifically address the needs of under-represented minority (URM) members of the translational research workforce. The educational programs described will foster critical thinking as well as the acquisition of methodological skills and principles of productive teamwork, to enable individuals with discipline-related knowledge to apply their expertise to develop translational science research programs that will accelerate discovery to improve health.
