Vanderbilt-Meharry翻译培训项目是一个完全跨学科的翻译研究培训项目 由小组活动激励，这些活动有意将跨学科的临床和非临床实习生混合在一起 为连接、扩大和维持我们的翻译社区的明确目的而进行的培训级别 科学家。这一新模式是对国际移民组织报告的回应，该报告呼吁改变我们应该如何培训下一代 推动翻译努力并在团队科学中脱颖而出的一代研究人员。与传统的T32不同 我们对学员的选择不受学科、研究生课程或疾病重点的限制，我们 结合经验，在培训期间促进跨学科团队的涌现。我们利用我们的 针对K获奖者的非常成功的计划，他们的培训与典型的T32计划有很大不同， 介绍跨学科导师小组、正在进行的工作会议、翻译轮次、 同伴指导小组、写作研讨会和务实的职业发展研讨会，故意混合在一起 科学主题和受训人员层级。以独特的协作文化和强大的领导力为背景，这 该计划将为12名TL1实习生提供服务：5名博士后和5名博士后实习生，最多5人和3人 分别支持两年和两名医科学生学者进行为期一年的研究强化(没有事先 必须有研究经验)。在这个项目中，我们引入了个性化培训的途径 轨迹。除了作为现有跨学科团队的一部分进行有指导的研究之外， 如果适用，学员将继续他们的学术课程，并将42个联系人组合在一起 六个领域之一的授课、强化和体验式学习的时间(不是学分)，包括：生物统计学 流行病学、数据科学、测量方法、临床背景(非临床实习生)、 技术转让和创新，以及社区参与。路径组件构建密钥 翻译能力，但很灵活，允许广泛的个人定制，以最好地匹配先前的培训 以及学员未来的职业方向。该计划将受益于CTSA中心在 在NIH总资金排名第10位的医疗中心；重视并实现多样性，拥有大量研究， 教育和计划评估基础设施；希望在TL1和KL2提案之间实现协同；协作 与其他CTSA网站很好地合作，并为学员提供访问丰富的研究核心和独特的 演播室、生物统计诊所、RedCap数据管理等专家指导和咨询模式 诊所；一个资助助学金的图书馆，内部研究部门，以及更多。结合在一起，这个程序仔细地 培养卓越，激励致力于跨学科翻译科学的职业，并为未来做好准备 高绩效科学团队的领导者。

The Vanderbilt-Meharry Translational Nexus is a fully interdisciplinary, translational research training program invigorated by group activities that intentionally mix clinical and non-clinical trainees across disciplines and levels of training for the explicit purpose of connecting, enlarging, and sustaining our community of translational scientists. This new model is responsive to the IOM report calling for changes in how we should train the next generation of researchers to drive translation endeavors and to excel in team science. Unlike traditional T32s our selection of trainees is not constrained by discipline, graduate program, or disease focus, and we incorporate experiences to foster emergence of interdisciplinary teams during training. We draw on our extremely successful programs for K awardees, whose training differs significantly from typical T32 programs, to introduce resources like interdisciplinary mentor panels, work-in-progress sessions, Translational Rounds, peer mentoring groups, writing workshops, and pragmatic career development seminars that intentionally mix scientific themes and tiers of trainees. Set in a uniquely collaborative culture with strong leadership, this program will serve 12 TL1 trainees: five pre-doctoral and five postdoctoral trainees, for up to five and three years of support respectively, and two medical student scholars for one-year research intensives (no prior research experience required). For this program we are introducing Pathways to individualize training trajectories. In addition to conducting mentored research as part of an established transdisciplinary team and pursuing their academic course of studies if applicable, trainees will craft Pathways that combine 42 contact hours (not credits) of didactic, intensive, and experiential learning in one of six areas including: Biostatistics and Epidemiology, Data Sciences, Measurement Methods, Clinical Context (for non-clinical trainees), Technology Transfer and Innovation, and Community Engagement. Components of pathways build key translational competencies, yet are flexible and allow extensive individual tailoring to best match prior training and future career directions of the trainee. This program will benefit from coordination by a CTSA Hub in a medical center that ranks 10th in overall NIH funding; values and achieves diversity, has substantial research, education, and program evaluation infrastructure; desires synergy across TL1 and KL2 proposals; collaborates well with other CTSA sites, and provides trainees access to an abundance of research cores and unique models for expert guidance and consultation like Studios, Biostatistics Clinics, REDCap Data Management Clinics; a library of funded grants, internal study sections, and much more. Combined, this program carefully fosters excellence to inspire careers dedicated to interdisciplinary translational science and prepare future leaders of high performing scientific teams.
