Miami Clinical and Translational Science Institute K12 Program

项目摘要 迈阿密大学CTSI K12职业发展计划的目标是培养10名不同的学者 (医学博士或博士)在临床翻译科学和研究(CTSR)方面独立和持续的职业生涯，具有 聚焦健康差距、社区健康和健康公平。与迈阿密CTSI整合，该计划将 培养一支强大的、基础广泛的CTSR团队，由拥有深厚科学领域的不同科学家组成 专业知识和更广泛的研究系统理解。在这一目标的推动下，我们制定了三个目标：1) 培养CTSR的核心能力和知识；2)提供循证指导；3)加快 在CTSR过渡到独立和持续的职业生涯。我们的计划旨在确保多样化的 训练有素的CTSR科学家可以满足社区的需求。遵循NCATS的理想愿景 翻译科学家，该计划的CTSR培训方法是全球性的，学者们在那里产生发现 既对他们的学科很重要，又对其他学科有贡献，对患者有益的 和社区，作为一个整体推进翻译过程。我们节目的概念性方法 融合团队科学、传播和实施(D&I)和多样性、公平、包容性和 可访问性，帮助学者成功地将他们的研究产品应用于与公众相关的现实世界 健康。鉴于我们的地理位置，在血统、种族/民族特性方面具有特殊的多样性，以及 文化与十年成功的CTSI KL2计划和坚定的机构承诺相结合 劳动力多样性和研究环境，我们提供独特的培训机会，以解决复杂的 CTSR面临的挑战包括不平等和卫生公平。该计划围绕五项主要活动组织： (1)招聘和挑选高素质的候选人；。(2)开发CTSR的关键能力；。(3) CTSR领域专家、临床医生、同行和社区导师的协作指导；(4)加速 学者过渡到在CTSR独立和持续的职业生涯；(5)项目评估。在这五年里 在K12奖励周期中，该计划将为每位奖学金获得者提供最多两年的个性化资助 指导下的培训、密集的科学实践和研究事业发展经验 在他们的专业领域之外，在他们的研究领域内，进行协作指导和伙伴关系 以及与社区利益相关者的合作。我们严格的评估计划评估了 培训计划，以评估其在提高CTSR的多样性和D&I原则方面的有效性，以及学者 能够有效地领导、沟通、协作和打破跨多学科团队的障碍 以及翻译过程。该项目由两名主任领导，他们是翻译医学/博士研究人员 与实验室到临床和临床到人群的健康研究和指导委员会相互补充 由来自我们中心和其他CTSA的经验丰富的科学家和培训项目负责人组成。

Project Summary The goal of the University of Miami CTSI K12 Career Development Program is to prepare 10 diverse scholars (MD or PhD) for independent and sustained careers in clinical translational science and research (CTSR) with focus on health disparity, community health and health equity. Integrated with the Miami CTSI, the program will develop a robust, broad-based CTSR workforce of diverse scientists who possess both deep scientific domain expertise and broader research systems understanding. Driven by this goal, we have set three objectives: 1) develop core competences and knowledge in CTSR; 2) provide evidence-informed mentoring; and 3) accelerate transition to independent and sustained careers in CTSR. Our program is designed to ensure that a diverse pool of highly trained CTSR scientists can address community needs. Following the NCATS vision of the ideal translational scientist, the program’s approach to CTSR training is global, where scholars produce discoveries that are simultaneously important for their disciplines, contribute to other disciplines, and of benefit to patients and communities, advancing the translational process as a whole. Our program’s conceptual approach integrates principles of team science, dissemination & implementation (D&I) and diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility to help scholars successfully move their research products into real-world use relevant to public health. Given our geographical location, with exceptional diversity in ancestry, racial/ethnic identities, and cultures combined with ten years of a successful CTSI KL2 program and a strong institutional commitment to workforce diversity and research environment, we offer unique training opportunities for addressing complex CTSR challenges such as disparities and health equity. The program is organized around five major activities: (1) recruitment and selection of highly qualified candidates; (2) developing key competencies in CTSR; (3) collaborative mentorship by CTSR domain experts, and clinician, peer and community mentors; (4) accelerating scholar transition to an independent and sustained career in CTSR; and (5) program evaluation. In the five years of the K12 award cycle, the program will provide up to two years of funding to each scholar for personalized training, intensive scientific practice, and research career development experience under the guidance of collaborative mentorships and partnerships outside of their areas of expertise, both within their research domains and with community stakeholders. Our rigorous evaluation plan assesses the quality and effectiveness of the training program to gauge its effectiveness in enhancing diversity and principles of D&I in CTSR, and scholar capacity to effectively lead, communicate, collaborate, and break down barriers across multidisciplinary teams and the translational process. The program is led by two directors who are translational MD/PhD researchers with complementary laboratory-to-clinical and clinical-to-population health research, and guidance committees composed of experienced scientists and training program leaders from our Hub and other CTSAs.
