Diversification of the Translational Science workforce is a strategic goal for the National Center for the Advancement of Translational Science (NCATS) program. NCATS has identified the development of translational science education, training, and support for a diverse translational science workforce as key to advancing the growing field of translational science. An annual mixed-methods assessment has been conducted on Common Metrics data submitted by over 60 Clinical & Translational Science Awards (CTSA) programs nationwide and includes metrics addressing recruitment and retention of scientists with particular attention to underrepresented persons and women. This article describes a methodology for the development of , a resource for guiding program implementation and strategic planning to develop a diverse clinical and translational science workforce. This was informed by the Common Metrics Initiative process and constituted of findings from qualitative interviews of a subset of CTSAs that participated. The dissemination of this guide had several impacts, including providing structural foci for the CTSA Fall 2020 program meeting centered on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in translational science; addressing NCATS' goal of workforce diversity; and understanding the number of diverse graduates still engaged in research.
转化科学领域劳动力的多元化是美国国立转化医学推进中心（NCATS）项目的一个战略目标。NCATS已确定，发展转化科学教育、培训并为多元化的转化科学劳动力提供支持，是推动不断发展的转化科学领域的关键。每年都会对全国60多个临床与转化科学奖（CTSA）项目提交的通用指标数据进行混合方法评估，这些指标包括解决科学家招聘和留用问题，尤其关注代表性不足的人群和女性。本文描述了一种开发[具体资源名称未给出]的方法，该资源用于指导项目实施和战略规划，以培养多元化的临床和转化科学劳动力。这一方法受通用指标倡议过程的启发，并由参与的部分CTSA定性访谈结果构成。该指南的传播产生了多方面影响，包括为2020年秋季CTSA项目会议提供了以转化科学中的多样性、公平性和包容性为核心的结构性焦点；实现了NCATS劳动力多元化的目标；以及了解仍从事研究工作的多元化毕业生数量。
