辛辛那提大学的辅导式职业发展(KL2)项目有两个目标： 1)加强临床和翻译研究的技能和指导 翻译研究人员，以及2)培养临床和翻译科学家，他们可以 有效参与跨学科研究团队。在我们的KL2的头6年 计划，我们资助了16名学者，几乎所有人都在追求学术生涯 并过渡到独立。我们的KL2奖学金获得者的任期为2年，但他们的家 各部门必须保证第三年75%的保护时间，如果学者没有 在KL2资助的两年内获得他/她自己的K或R补助金。因为我们这群高度- 合格的申请者很强大，但名额有限，2014年，我们创建了一个平行的 机构资助的CT2(临床和转化性研究)学者计划。KL2和CT2 学者们可以无限制地使用该中心提供的大量研究资源 临床和翻译科学与培训(CCTST)，包括研究设计、数据库 管理、数据分析、K23准备支持、试点资助、研究教育、 社区参与的研究和监管支持。CCTST还为所有人开设了K俱乐部 职业发展奖获得者和申请者，以及KL2和其他机构K12学者， 一个非常受推崇的K学者同行辅导小组。KL2计划利用一个团队 指导方法。我们已经组建了一支导师队伍，他们至少有30万美元的 资金，临床和转化性研究指导的记录，以及受保护的时间 师徒关系。我们提供导师培训课程，我们鼓励使用个人 发展计划和导师合同。 对于续期，我们计划一次培训4名KL2奖学金获得者，并继续聘请额外的 机构资助的CT2学者。我们计划的新举措来自多个来源， 包括学者和导师的反馈，我们运行KL2计划的经验，想法 由前CTSA联盟与教育和职业有关的委员会产生 发展，以及新的CTSA资金机会公告中的变化。计划中的 因此，增强能力包括团队科学方面的培训；各种外部培训机会； 为KL2毕业生提供导师培训；成立新的职业发展局；与 其他CTSA中心，以联合试点资助计划的形式为KL2学者，互惠审查 奖学金申请、奖学金和新课程。

The University of Cincinnati's Mentored Career Development (KL2) program has 2 objectives: 1) to enhance the clinical and translational research skills and mentoring of clinical and translational investigators, and 2) to develop clinical and translational scientists who can effectively participate on interdisciplinary research teams. Over the first 6 years of our KL2 program, we have funded 16 Scholars, nearly all of whom are pursuing careers in academics and transitioning to independence. Our KL2 Scholars are appointed for 2 years but their home departments are required to guarantee a 3rd year of 75% protected time should the Scholar not obtain his/her own K or R grant during the 2 years of KL2 funding. Because our pool of highly- qualified applicants is robust but the number of slots is limited, in 2014, we created a parallel institutionally-funded CT2 (clinical and translational research) Scholars program. KL2 and CT2 Scholars receive unlimited access to the vast array of research resources offered by the Center for Clinical and Translational Science and Training (CCTST), including study design, database management, data analysis, K23 preparation support, pilot grants, research education, community-engaged research, and regulatory support. The CCTST also runs a K Club for all career development awardees and applicants, and for KL2 and other institutional K12 Scholars, a very highly regarded K Scholars peer mentoring group. The KL2 program utilizes a team mentoring approach. We have assembled a cadre of mentors who have at least $300,000 of funding, a track record of mentoring in clinical and translational research, and protected time for mentorship. We provide mentor training courses and we encourage the use of individual development plans and mentor contracts. For the renewal, we plan to train 4 KL2 Scholars at a time and to continue to appoint additional institutionally-funded CT2 Scholars. Our planned new initiatives emanate from multiple sources, including feedback from Scholars and mentors, our experience running the KL2 program, ideas generated by the former CTSA Consortium committees related to education and career development, and changes in the new CTSA funding opportunity announcement. Planned enhancements thus include training in team science; a variety of externship opportunities; mentor training for KL2 graduates; a new Career Development Council; and collaborations with other CTSA hubs in the form of joint pilot grant programs for KL2 Scholars, reciprocal reviews of Scholar applications, externships, and new courses.
