In 2015 Kenneth Remy, MD, MHSc arrived in St. Louis to join the Washington University School of Medicine faculty as an assistant professor of pediatrics and launched his lab studying the intersection of transfusion hematology and immune dysregulation. He was fresh off a National Institutes of Health (NIH) fellowship in Bethesda, Maryland, gaining experience that helped to shape his future career
Dr. Steven Hicks, MD, PhD is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Penn State University. His translational research identifies molecular biomarkers that inform child growth, neurodevelopment and disease. ABSTRACT: Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is extremely common among adolescents, who suffer disproportionately from prolonged concussion symptoms - a condition for which no biologic test
After our 10th highly competitive application cycle, unfortunately, delayed due to COVID-related research closures, the Georgetown-Howard Universities Center for Clinical and Translational Science (GHUCCTS) is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Haiyan He as a KL2 Scholar. This new awardee, her research project, and training plan are emblematic of our program objectives in that they pair a
The University of Wisconsin Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR) will participate in the Building Up study developed at the University of Pittsburgh Institute for Clinical Research Education to test the effectiveness of a career development intervention designed for postdoctoral trainees and junior faculty who come from populations underrepresented in health-related sciences on
The iTHRIV Scholars Program is a two-year, cohort-based, mentored, career development award open to eligible junior faculty candidates at the University of Virginia (UVA) and Virginia Tech Carilion (VTC). Awardees participate in weekly curriculum sessions focused around developing their careers in clinical and translational research, including sessions focused on data science, team science, peer
This seminar is part of the GHUCCTS KL2 Visiting Scholars Seminar Series, in partnership with the Virginia Commonwealth University's Center for Clinical and Translational Research. Dr. Elizabeth R. Wolf, MD, MPH, earned her Medical Doctorate and Master of Public Health in Epidemiology from the University of Washington. She also completed a National Research Service Award fellowship in General
Infectious disease expert Dr. Seble Kassaye, associate professor of medicine at Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) and former GHUCCTS KL2 scholar, led a team of researchers to develop an online COVID-19 symptom tracking tool. The tool ensures a person’s confidentiality while being able to actively monitor their symptoms. “Our online system provides a method for efficient, active
Evaluating clinical and translational research (CTR) mentored training programs is challenging because no two programs are alike. Clara Pelfrey, PhD and Kelli Qua, PhD took to the task of comparing bibliometrics between individuals and between programs and have published their results in the Journal of Clinical & Translational Science. The KL2 program provides mentored-training for early stage CTR
The Careers in Clinical and Translational Research Metric is designed to measure and develop strategic management plans to enhance the ways CTSA program hubs train and support scientists to remain engaged in research. To measure and report the success of the metric, hubs conduct follow-up surveys to determine if scholars and trainees have remained in clinical research upon completion of the
Insights to Inspire 2020 highlights those hubs who have made improvements in their Careers in Clinical and Translational Research metric. The third webinar in this series focuses on the application and screening processes used by the presenting hubs. Read the Insights to Inspire blog; Training Applications: Starting with a Strong Foundation HERE Note: On the Zoom meeting registration page, you can
The purpose of the Careers in Clinical and Translational Research metric is to measure and develop strategic plans to enhance the ways hubs and the entire CTSA Program consortium are training and supporting the future workforce. This support is vital to helping trainees remain engaged in clinical and translational science. One of the earliest opportunities hubs have to support early-career
Insights to Inspire 2020 highlights those hubs who have made improvements in their Careers in Clinical and Translational Research metric. The second webinar in this year’s series focuses on recruiting scholars and trainees. Note: Registration for this webinar has closed please contact common_metrics@clic-ctsa.org to request access to the recorded webinar.
For CTSA Program hubs, supporting and promoting the career development of their trainees and scholars can be a lengthy process. Before a hub can evaluate the success of their TL1 or KL2 educational training programs, before trainees or scholars can receive effective mentoring, every hub has to take the first step: recruiting researchers into the program. As a part of the Insights to Inspire 2020
Insights to Inspire 2020 highlights those hubs who have made improvements in their Careers in Clinical and Translational Research metric. The first in this year’s series of webinars focuses on diversity and inclusion. Note: Register for this webinar has closed please contact common_metrics@clic-ctsa.org to request access to the recorded webinar.
The purpose of the Careers in Clinical and Translational Research metric is to measure the success of CTSA Program hubs in training scientists who will stay engaged in the field specifically with regard to underrepresented persons (URP) and women. However, engagement is not the only factor for continued success. The value of science to society is the ability to both collect data and analyze
“The Georgia CTSA is an incredible group of colleagues to build together. My experience in the Georgia CTSA KL2 Program is just one example of how an investigator is being supported by this talented team of people and comprehensive resources to make exciting advances and produce outstanding work,” says Dr. Joshua Levy. Joshua M. Levy, MD, MPH, Emory Sinus, Nasal & Allergy Center; Assistant
Breakthrough research is rarely accomplished in a vacuum. Years of training, time spent writing and countless hours coordinating resources is an inherent part of any researcher’s work on the path to a successful study. Such is the case for Stephanie Fritz, MD, MSCI, ICTS member and senior author of a new study on how the superbug methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is introduced
Dr. Amanda Bruegl, OHSU oncologist and OCTRI KL2 awardee, has been named a scholar of the Harold Amos Medical Faculty Development Program, which is part of The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Dr. Bruegl will leverage this prestigious award to expand her research on HPV and cervical cancer in Native American women.
Dr. Shaikh is Professor of Pediatrics at the University of California Davis School of Medicine and Clinical Quality Officer at the UC Davis Health Practice Management Group. She has authored more than 70 peer-reviewed and invited publications, largely focused on improving health care delivery. “Dr. Shaikh has led efforts to improve the quality of care for children through local, state, national
Michael Samaan, PhD, who is trained as a mechanical and biomedical engineer, specializes in biomechanics. His research received a boost when he received a career-development award in early 2019 from the UK Center for Clinical and Translational Science’s KL2 program. His study published in the January issue of Clinical Biomechanics helps shed light on the short-term outcome of arthroscopic surgery
