CTSA K12 Program at The University of Iowa

项目总结 爱荷华大学(UI)2022-2027年医疗保健战略计划明确要求该机构(1) 在我们的医疗保健系统中进一步扩大临床和转化科学和研究，2)建立 多样化的临床和科学劳动力，并(3)通过创新在全州范围内加强医疗保健 临床和转化科学系统(CTS)以及临床护理。美国临床与医学研究所 翻译科学(ICTS)是CTS基础设施和许多培训的科学之家 支持大学的计划，是负责将CTS整合到医疗保健和 用户界面的研究环境。在我们设想K12计划时，我们使用了UI Health Care战略 目标是设计一个满足我们州需求的计划，并培训CTS员工，以加快 科学发现的步伐推动科学从替补席到床边，再到社区。近40% 爱荷华州一半的人口生活在该州的农村地区，那里获得医疗保健的机会受到挑战，许多人 疾病的结果比城市人口的结果要差。解决这些农村差距需要 科学和保健方法，可以适应地理距离和利用现有的 在人烟稀少的地区建立的护理系统。爱荷华州农村地区的医疗服务依赖于 基于团队的护理，包括联合医疗服务提供者，如药剂师、理疗师、中层 从业者、牙医，更重要的是社区服务。我们的研究议程解决了以下需求 以离家更近的实际方式让农村人口参与进来，并培训我们的科学家在 多学科团队，包括并重视将社区和联合医疗服务提供者整合到 研究。因此，我们的K12计划有意向所有卫生专业人员征集学者。 我们K12计划的目标是 1)招聘和培训优秀学者(目前是初级教员或博士后研究员，有悬而未决的 教师任命)谁将参与个性化课程和有指导的医疗保健 在这个多学科、多文化的K12项目中进行为期三年的研究。 2)通过一项强有力的计划，为翻译研究学者改善指导环境 导师和学员都建立在NRMN培训平台上。 3)提供高度集中的有指导的研究经验，促进学者们成功过渡到 独立性和作为转化型医疗团队领导者的持续参与。 要实现这些目标，教师需要在全校范围内持续、多学科的参与，因为 K12学者辅导团队成员。此外，ICTS是该州唯一的CTSA的所在地 爱荷华州将与CTSA在美国各地的中心合作，以改善学习环境和 增加我们的K12学者在翻译科学领域建立成功事业的机会。

PROJECT SUMMARY The University of Iowa (UI) Health Care strategic plan for 2022-2027 expressly challenges the institution to (1) further expand clinical and translational science and research throughout our health care system, 2) build a diverse clinical and scientific workforce and to (3) enhance healthcare across the state through innovations in the systems of clinical and translational science (CTS) as well as clinical care. The Institute for Clinical and Translational Science (ICTS) is the scientific home for the CTS infrastructure and many of the training programs that support the university and is the entity charged with integrating CTS into the health care and research environments at the UI. As we envisioned the K12 program, we used the UI Health Care strategic goals to design a program that meets the needs of our state and that trains a CTS workforce to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery driving science from the bench to the bedside and into the community. Nearly 40% of Iowa's population lives in rural regions of the state where access to health care is challenged and many disease outcomes are inferior to those seen in urban populations. Resolving these rural disparities requires scientific and health care approaches that can adapt to geographic distance and make use of the existing systems of care that are in place in sparsely populated areas. Health delivery in rural Iowa is dependent on team-based care that incorporates allied health providers such as pharmacists, physical therapists, mid-level practitioners, dentists and importantly, community services. Our research agenda addresses the need to engage rural populations in practical ways closer to their homes and to train our scientists to work in multidisciplinary teams that include and value integration of community and allied health providers into research. Accordingly, our K12 program intentionally solicits Scholars from all health professions. The Objectives of our K12 Program are 1) Recruit and train outstanding Scholars (currently junior faculty or postdoctoral fellows with a pending faculty appointment) who will engage in an individualized curriculum and in mentored health care research during a three-year period in this multidisciplinary, multicultural K12 program. 2) Enhance the mentoring environment for translational research Scholars through a robust program for both mentors and mentees built on the NRMN training platform. 3) Provide a highly focused mentored research experience that fosters Scholars' successful transition to independence and continued engagement as leaders of translational health care teams. Meeting these objectives will require continued campus-wide, multidisciplinary participation of faculty as members of mentoring teams for K12 Scholars. Additionally, the ICTS, home of the only CTSA in the State of Iowa, will collaborate with CTSA hubs across the United States to enhance the learning environment and increase the opportunities for our K12 Scholars to build successful careers in translational science.
