CTSI Scholar / Mentored Career Development Award Program
Letters of intent due February 3
 
Scholars will receive mentoring, career and professional development, and partial salary and research support. The program is designed for scholars from health science and clinical disciplines (e.g. medicine, pharmacy, nursing, public health, dental, bioengineering and others) whose research is focused on new treatments for diseases and to improve health, as well as innovative methods and strategies to reduce the detrimental consequences of health disparities. Junior faculty and senior fellows transitioning to junior faculty positions are eligible to apply. Read more
K12 Faculty Scholar Program in Implementation Science
Letters of intent due March 2
 
This program supports mentored research and career development for faculty scholars in dissemination and implementation (D&I) research to address the complex process of bridging research and practice in real-world settings. Scholars will receive salary and research support annually for two to three years. Mentored research must focus on heart, lung, blood or sleep (HLBS) disorders and/or their risk factors. Candidates selected as K12 scholars must hold a research or health-professional doctoral degree. Read more

Message from the CTSI Director
The transition from training to an independent research career is a critical juncture in the career journey of an investigator, particularly in the area of translational science. Opportunities for support of early stage investigators during this potentially perilous transition have grown substantially in Buffalo as a result of two outstanding NIH-funded mentored career development programs for junior faculty.
 
The CTSI-associated KL2/Buffalo Translational Consortium mentored career development program supports clinician-scientists and non-clinician PhDs interested in clinical and translational research. Clinician scientists include multiple professional fields, including physicians, pharmacists, nurses, dentists and others, with the common theme being training in translational research. Similarly, non-clinician candidates may span many disciplines.
 
Junior faculty with an interest in implementation science are fortunate to have the opportunity to apply to the K12 Faculty Scholar Program in Implementation Science. Implementation science is the study of methods to promote the adoption and integration of evidence-based practices, interventions and policies into routine health care and public health settings. In other words, moving observations from research studies into real-world practice settings.
 
Both of these programs emphasize careful mentoring, which is critical to success in these fields. In addition, the programs include strong support in professional development; seminars; grant writing workshops; and the opportunity to take formal courses, earn digital badges and enroll in certificate and master’s degree programs. Training is tailored to individual trainee’s career goals.
 
I encourage junior faculty with an interest in a career in translational research to give strong consideration to applying to these outstanding training programs to help launch your careers.

Timothy F. Murphy MD
SUNY Distinguished Professor of Medicine, Director of UB's Clinical and Translational Science Institute
