Personalized training pathways for translational science trainees: Building on a framework of knowledge, skills, and abilities across the translational science spectrum.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In order to conduct translational science, scientists must combine domain-specific expertise with knowledge on how to identify and cross translational hurdles, and insights on positioning discoveries for the next translational stage. Expert educators from the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Consortium identified 97 knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) important to include in training programs for translational scientists. To assist educators and trainees to use these KSAs, a conceptual model called "Personalized Pathways" was developed that prioritizes KSAs based on trainee background, research area, or phenotype, and expertise on the research team.

Purpose

To understand how CTSA educators prioritize specific KSAs when developing personalized t
