Description: Are you an Assistant Professor (tenure-track) in the health sciences and interested in being mentored in preparation for external grant submissions? The Clinical and Translational Science Institute’s Early-Stage Investigator Training Program (KL2) provides a supportive environment for junior faculty scholars to acquire the skills and experience needed to become successful, independent clinical and translational scientists. This is accomplished through coursework, mentored research, workshops, and career development programs. KL2 funding provides scholars with 75 percent protected time for research; funds for research supplies; tuition support for up to three courses per semester; and travel. There are 8 scholars per year selected from a competitive pool of applicants submitted by junior faculty across the University.
