For The Consortium

Training and Career Development of Clinical/Translational Scientists

Description:

The goal of the committee is to develop a national coordinated approach to recruit, educate, train and promote the development of clinical and translational investigators conducting research to improve human health.

The goals of the Strategic Goal Committee are:

  • To provide open access to training resources across the CTSA Consortium. Core competencies and curricula will be mapped and posted to a portal that will also allow educational material created by CTSAs and their CDC, NIH Clinical Center and other partners to be downloaded.
  • Establish a core curriculum that will address the needs of clinical and translational investigation that is aligned with core competencies developed for clinical and translational scientists.
  • Implement a mentor training program across the consortium sharing best practices.
  • Ensure that institutions recognize clinical and translational investigation is a valuable enterprise with unique metrics & criteria for success and promotion

Three working groups have been organized to address each goal and members will provide regular updates on their progress during the monthly meetings of this Goal Committee.
