## Abstract

The Yale TL1 provides support for the training, mentoring and career development of exceptional trainees
across the relevant communities within Yale (Medicine, Nursing, Public Health, Biomedical Engineering,
Psychology) to prepare them to successfully pursue careers in research focused on improving human health,
reducing health disparities, and improving health systems. In recognition of the critical need to foster the
development of young investigators at multiple points during training, we established four training opportunities
within our program that span pre- and post-doctoral training. Each of these programs builds on a remarkable
track record of accomplishment, but each is also newly adapted to respond to the current educational context
and the emerging research opportunities. In so doing, our training programs embrace education in team
learning, data science and organizational practice so as to prepare the next generation of translational
researchers to emerge as leaders. These 4 programs, presented as specific aims include:
1) The National Clinician Scholars Program (NCSP) that provides two years of outstanding training for
post-doctoral fellows in either nursing or medicine who are focused on careers in T3-T4 translational
research to improve health and healthcare policy for communities and populations;
2) The Investigative Medicine PhD Program (IMP) that provides 3-5 years of rigorous PhD training for
physicians who have completed their clinical training and haven chosen to pursue careers in
translational (T1-T4) research; and
3) The Multidisciplinary Pre-Doctoral Training Program in Translational Research (MPreDTP) that
provides pre-doctoral trainees in the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Public Health and Biomedical
engineering with one or two full year devoted to training across the full span (T1-T4) of clinical and
translational research.
4) The Multidisciplinary Post-Doctoral Training Program in Translational Research (MPostDTP) that
provides post-doctoral PhD trainees in the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Public Health and Biomedical
engineering with one or two full years devoted to training across the full span (T1-T4) of clinical and
translational research.
The objectives of this TL1 application are to: 1) identify and support a representative and diverse group of
outstanding trainees for entry into the appropriate one of these four programs; 2) provide them with a strong
multidisciplinary education anchored in courses offered through degree-granting programs; 3) provide a
mentored translational research experience in a biological, social behavioral, community-engaged and/or
public health domain; 3) provide training and hands-on experience in multidisciplinary team science; 4) provide
ongoing mentoring in how to conduct meaningful translational research and in support of their career
development; 5) provide instruction to increase their abilities to translate research into real-world contexts to
impact policies and practices for i...
