CTSA Institutional Mentored Career Development Program (KL2)

项目总结 发展一个蓬勃发展的全国性翻译研究企业的核心是需要开发下一个 一代又一代研究人员精通翻译研究的技术和文化，能够合作 在团队内部和跨学科。已建立的塔夫茨CTSI KL2计划在以下方面取得了成功 培训仍在从事旨在改善健康的翻译研究的初级教员。 在我们成功的基础上，我们将通过以下目标扩大我们的培训：KL2目标1：招募、 选拔和培训不同的初级教师群体，他们对翻译表现出兴趣和承诺 在整个T1-T4范围内进行研究，部署将利用合作伙伴关系的五个KL2职位 跨Tuft CTSI；KL2目标2：提供广泛的翻译研究培训，传授所需的技能 在翻译科学方面的持久职业生涯。这将包括特殊的培训，包括正式的说教 初级教师研究生涯中的培训、多学科团队指导和支持 发展论坛和Tuft CTSI资源；KL2目标3：通过以下方式扩大职业发展机会 增加工作室和实践的体验式学习，加强翻译研究培训：A)团队科学； B)利益攸关方参与；c)临床试验创新；d)研究过程改进；e)药物和 设备开发/监管流程。 我们培训的结果将是塔夫茨内部跨多个学科的一组翻译调查人员 在广泛参与的团队方法方面非常熟练的CTSI。这些都是调查人员需要的 推进跨学科的翻译研究，以应对改善健康的复杂挑战。

PROJECT SUMMARY At the core of developing a thriving national translational research enterprise is the need to develop the next generations of researchers skilled in the techniques and culture of translational research, able to collaborate within teams and across disciplines. The established Tufts CTSI KL2 program has demonstrated success in training junior faculty who remain engaged in their careers in translational research aimed at improving health. Building on our success, we will expand upon our training through the following aims: KL2 AIM 1: Recruit, select, and train a diverse group of junior faculty who demonstrate interest and promise in translational research across the entire T1-T4 spectrum, deploying five KL2 positions that will leverage the partnerships across Tufts CTSI; KL2 AIM 2: Provide broad translational research training that imparts the skills needed for a sustained career in translational science. This will include exceptional training that includes formal didactic training, multi-disciplinary team mentoring, and support through the Junior Faculty Research Career Development Forum and Tufts CTSI resources; KL2 AIM 3: Expand career development opportunities by adding studio and practica experiential learning to enhance translational research training in: a) Team science; b) Stakeholder engagement; c) Clinical trial innovation; d) Research process improvement; and e) Drug and device development/regulatory processes. The outcome of our training will be a group of translational investigators across multiple disciplines within Tufts CTSI who are highly skilled in broadly engaged team approaches. These are the investigators needed to advance interdisciplinary translational research that will address the complex challenges to improving health.
