Support Details
CTSI KL2 Research Scholars will receive 75% salary support for at least 2 years, up to $35,000/year to support educational and research needs, an Individual Development Plan, and a multi-disciplinary mentoring team. K12 scholars in procedurally intensive clinical specialties are allowed to devote less than 75 percent effort, but not less than 50 percent. Scholars will become members of the CTSI Translational Research Academy and actively and regularly participate in its ongoing and diverse educational, networking and mentoring opportunities. Scholars will receive priority access to other CTSI resources including biostatistical and research design support, a study coordinator pool, and Research Navigators.
CTSI funded three K12 Research Scholars in 2016-2018, one in 2017-2019, and four in 2018-2020.
