This paper is the fourth in a 5-part series that focuses on educating and training the clinical and translational science workforce. The goal of this paper is to delineate components of effective career development programs that go beyond didactic training. All academic health centers with a Clinical and Translational Science Award have a KL2 career development award for junior faculty, and many also have a TL1 training program for predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows. The training across these programs varies, however junior investigators across the United States experience similar challenges. Junior investigators can get overwhelmed with the demands of building their own research program, particularly in academia. 1Often, they are sidetracked by competing demands that can derail their progress. In these situations, junior investigators experience frustration and may search for alternative career paths. By providing them with additional professional skills in the 5 domains of: (1) self-awareness; (2) selecting the right topic and securing funding; (3) getting adequate support; (4) working with others; and (5) managing yourself, your career, and your demands. We will give junior investigators additional tools to manage these demands and facilitate their own career success.
本文是一个五部分系列文章中的第四篇,该系列聚焦于临床与转化科学工作队伍的教育与培训。本文的目的是阐述有效职业发展项目中超越讲授式培训的组成部分。所有获得临床与转化科学奖的学术健康中心都为初级教员设立了KL2职业发展奖,许多中心还为博士前和博士后研究员设立了TL1培训项目。然而,这些项目的培训各不相同,美国各地的初级研究人员面临着类似的挑战。初级研究人员可能会被建立自己研究项目的要求压得喘不过气来,尤其是在学术界。通常,他们会被相互竞争的需求分散注意力,从而偏离自己的进展。在这些情况下,初级研究人员会感到沮丧,并可能寻找其他职业道路。通过在以下五个领域为他们提供额外的专业技能:(1)自我认知;(2)选择合适的课题并获得资金;(3)获得足够的支持;(4)与他人合作;(5)管理自己、职业和需求。我们将为初级研究人员提供额外的工具来应对这些需求,并促进他们自身的职业成功。
