The CCTS KL2 program supports the training and career development of instructors and assistant professors (with MD, DO, DDS, DSN, PhD, RPh, or PharmD degrees) at the CCTS institutions conducting clinical or translational research. The program provides salary support up to 75% of the total salary and $10,000 to $15,000 yearly for research and education costs. Funding is for up to 3 years.
All applicants must be engaged in or preparing to conduct clinical or translational research. Each applicant's department chair must confirm that the applicant will have protected time commensurate with the percent salary support the KL2 program will supply. In calculating percent protected time, the denominator must be the total institutional activities for which an individual is compensated by his or her institution. This includes time in-house for patient care/call at night and on weekends. Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents.
Each trainee will conduct a research study under the supervision of a senior faculty mentor and complete the core curriculum atUTHealth Clinical Research Curriculum[link to curriculum here]. Trainees will also propose and complete individualized career development plans that include a statement of career goals and any additional training (beyond the core curriculum) that will be undertaken to complete them.
