Project Summary The case for robust support for biomedical research training has never been stronger. During the last two years, the nation’s translational research enterprise was stress tested by a pandemic, revealing both stunning strengths and startling weaknesses. While the precise nature of future biomedical and public health challenges cannot be known, it is clear that the safety and welfare of the country depends on a robust pipeline of scientists with diverse expertise, who are well trained in core competencies across the full spectrum of clinical and translational science (CTS). It is increasingly recognized that training researchers outside of their narrow field of scientific specialization, to include a more varied set of research and professional skills—particularly those related to later translational phases—is critical to deliver on the promise to transform human health and respond to new challenges. These areas have long been signature strengths of the Tufts Clinical and Translational Science (CTS) Graduate Program, the training core of Tufts Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI). Our MS/PhD program was founded in 1999 as the nation’s first clinical research program based at a school of graduate biomedical sciences and an academic medical center and we have continuously evolved to meet the changing needs of CTS training. Our success is evidenced by the productivity of our trainees, the consistently high rate of retention of graduates in research careers, and our outstanding history of training leaders in clinical research. The two principal aims of this proposal include the following: AIM 1: Train the next generation of early career researchers in critical thinking skills and rigorous methodology to meet the translational science challenges of the coming decades. We will provide rigorous training in the core knowledge expectations of CTS to clinical and biomedical research fellows with diverse interests by leveraging our new and longstanding partnerships; by building and expanding upon the history of excellence in CTS training in our MS/PhD Graduate Program; by enhancing three specialized T32 Tracks, including Predictive Analytics and Comparative Effectiveness Research (PACER); One Health; and Health Policy and Health Disparities (HPHD). AIM 2: Prepare early career researchers to be effective leaders, team members, communicators, and innovators in translational science. We will enrich the individualized mentoring and research experiences of the T32 trainees by leveraging the infrastructure of Tufts CTSI and partner institutions to provide supplemental training in stakeholder and community engagement, science communication, team science, professional development and leadership, rigor and transparency, and critical review of research; and by curating and capitalizing on experiential opportunities within the Tufts CTSI and partner institutions, with an emphasis on data science and informatics, clinical trial innovation and best practices, and entrepreneurship and innovation.

项目概要 在过去两年中，对生物医学研究培训提供强有力支持的理由从未如此强烈。 多年来，该国的转化研究企业经受了一场大流行的压力测试，揭示了令人震惊的 未来生物医学和公共卫生挑战的确切性质。 无法得知，但很明显，国家的安全和福祉取决于强大的科学家队伍 拥有多样化的专业知识，在整个临床和临床领域的核心能力方面接受过良好的培训 人们越来越认识到，在其狭窄的领域之外培训研究人员。 科学专业化，包括更多样化的研究和专业技能——特别是那些 与后期转化阶段相关——对于兑现改变人类健康和 应对新的挑战长期以来，这些领域一直是塔夫茨临床和医学中心的标志性优势。 转化科学（CTS）研究生项目，塔夫茨临床与转化科学的培训核心 研究所 (CTSI)。我们的硕士/博士项目成立于 1999 年，是全国第一个临床研究项目。 总部设在研究生生物医学学院和学术医学中心，我们不断 不断发展以满足 CTS 培训不断变化的需求。我们的生产力证明了我们的成功。 实习生、毕业生在研究生涯中的持续高保留率以及我们杰出的历史 该提案的两个主要目标包括： 目标 1：培养下一代早期职业研究人员的批判性思维技能和严谨的能力 我们将提供应对未来几十年转化科学挑战的方法。 对临床和生物医学研究人员进行 CTS 核心知识的严格培训 通过利用我们新的和长期的合作伙伴关系，建立和扩展多元化的利益； 通过增强三个专业 T32，我们的 MS/PhD 研究生项目中 CTS 培训的卓越历史； 跟踪，包括预测分析和比较有效性研究 (PACER)； 卫生政策和健康差异（HPHD）。 目标 2：培养早期职业研究人员成为有效的领导者、团队成员、沟通者和 我们将丰富转化科学领域的创新者的个性化指导和研究经验。 通过利用塔夫茨 CTSI 和合作机构的基础设施为 T32 学员提供补充 利益相关者和社区参与、科学传播、团队科学、专业培训 发展和领导力、严谨性和透明度以及对研究的批判性审查； 利用塔夫茨 CTSI 和合作机构内的体验机会，重点是 数据科学和信息学、临床试验创新和最佳实践以及创业和创新。
