ABSTRACT Since 2008, the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio’s CTSA KL2 Mentored Career Development Program has had an exemplary track record of training and mentoring junior faculty. Our program has been recognized nationally for the diversity of its Scholars, with 55% women and 33% under-represented persons. It is also recognized for forming and co-leading a national KL2 PI/Directors Consortium Group, which meets regularly to network, share best practices, and develop innovative programs, such as the Virtual CTSA Visiting Scholars Program, in which KL2 Scholars throughout the CTSA Consortium can visit other CTSA hubs to network with experts in their field and to deliver a nationally streamed CTSA Grand Rounds. Our KL2 program has provided 2 years of support for our Scholars, with a required third year of support funded by the Scholar’s home department. To date, our KL2 program, like others in the CTSA Consortium, has focused on translational research – the endeavor to traverse a particular step of the translational process for a particular target or disease. Yet, historically, the process of translation has been notoriously slow. For the new K12 program, we have the opportunity to add a focus on translational science, the field of investigation focused on understanding the scientific and operational principles underlying each step of the translational process in order to catalyze translation. As such, we will incorporate new training in translational science based on competencies we published for a translational researcher vs. a translational scientist; diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility; dissemination and implementation; and leadership. The curriculum will be co-developed with the University of Utah CTSA and targeted to K12 Scholars from both CTSA hubs, T32 Trainees, and other members of the translational science workforce; once developed, the curriculum will be shared with the CTSA Consortium. We will continue our rigorous and inclusive Scholar selection process. For their research projects, each K12 Scholar will incorporate a component of translational science. Scholars will be mentored by a team of mentors, including a clinician; the primary mentors will undergo evidence-based mentor training, with an emphasis on mentoring under-represented Scholars. With the formalization of our partnerships with UT Austin, UT San Antonio, and Texas Biomedical Research Institute, we will increase the number of CTSA-funded Scholars from the current 4 at a time to 5 at a time, plus 3 institutionally funded Scholars. We will diversify the leadership of the K12 by adding a female multi-PI from UT Austin and by mentoring an under-represented former Scholar to become a K12 program leader. To continue the highly successful Virtual CTSA Visiting Scholar Program once support by the national CTSA coordinating center sunsets, we, with K12/KL2 programs at Harvard, the University of North Carolina, and Stanford, will assume management of the program, create innovative features, and evaluate program and Scholar experiences. Together, these K12 program features promise to yield investigators who will become leaders in translational research and the science of translation.

抽象的 自 2008 年以来，圣安东尼奥的 UT 健康科学中心 CTSA KL2 指导职业生涯 发展计划在培训和指导初级教师方面有着堪称典范的记录。 因其学者的多样性而获得全国认可，其中 55% 为女性，33% 的学者代表性不足 它还因组建和共同领导国家 KL2 PI/董事联盟小组而受到认可。 定期举行会议以建立联系、分享最佳实践并开发创新计划，例如虚拟 CTSA 访问学者计划，CTSA 联盟的 KL2 学者可以访问其他 CTSA 中心 与各自领域的专家建立联系，并提供全国直播的 CTSA Grand Rounds KL2 计划。 已为我们的学者提供了 2 年的支持，其中所需的第三年支持由学者的资助 迄今为止，我们的 KL2 项目与 CTSA 联盟的其他项目一样，重点关注转化。 研究——针对特定目标或疾病，努力遍历转化过程的特定步骤。 然而，从历史上看，新的 K12 项目的翻译过程一直非常缓慢。 有机会增加对转化科学的关注，该研究领域的重点是了解 转化过程每一步的科学和操作原则，以促进 因此，我们将根据我们的能力纳入转化科学方面的新培训。 为转化研究人员与转化科学家出版；多样性、公平性、包容性和可及性； 该课程将与大学共同开发。 犹他州 CTSA，针对来自两个 CTSA 中心的 K12 学者、T32 学员以及 CTSA 的其他成员 转化科学劳动力；一旦开发，课程将与 CTSA 联盟共享。 每位 K12 学者将继续针对他们的研究项目进行严格且包容的学者选拔流程。 将纳入转化科学的一部分，学者们将受到导师团队的指导，其中包括： 一名临床医生；主要导师将接受循证导师培训，重点是指导 随着我们与德州大学奥斯汀分校、德州大学圣安东尼奥分校和德州大学圣安东尼奥分校正式建立合作伙伴关系。 德克萨斯生物医学研究所，我们将增加 CTSA 资助学者的数量，从目前的 4 名 一次增至 5 名，再加上 3 名机构资助的学者 我们将通过以下方式使 K12 的领导层多元化。 增加一名来自 UT Austin 的女性多位 PI，并指导一名代表性不足的前学者成为一名 K12 项目负责人，继续开展曾经获得大力支持的虚拟 CTSA 访问学者项目。 国家 CTSA 协调中心落日，我们在哈佛大学、北方大学开展 K12/KL2 项目 卡罗莱纳州和斯坦福大学将负责该项目的管理，创建创新功能并评估 这些 K12 计划特点共同保证培养出愿意的研究人员。 成为转化研究和翻译科学的领导者。
