The TRANSFORM K12 Scholars Mentored Career Development program serves as a "bridge" by which young junior faculty can achieve research independence. It is open to junior faculty with professorial titles (clinical- or tenure-track).
To gain the knowledge and skills necessary to function effectively on interdisciplinary research teams, K12 Scholars will complete a rigorous training program that guarantees exposure to a wide range of clinical and translational research methods in both classroom and experiential settings. The key features of the training program include
- a research Master's degree (the MS/POR,) with traditional classroom training;
- varied research rotations;
- a mentored research project; and
- participation in multidisciplinary seminars and colloquia.
