View Award Description

CTSA K12 Program at University of California at Davis: Advancing Clinical and Translational Innovation by Vitalizing And Training Early-career faculty (ACTIVATE) - PROJECT SUMMARY The primary mission of the UC Davis Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC) Institutional Career Development Core (K12), entitled “Advancing Clinical and Translational Innovation by Vitalizing And Training Early-career faculty” (ACTIVATE), is to cultivate early career scholars into independent investigators who possess the strategic skills, broad perspectives, and methodological expertise necessary to excel as translational science leaders in academic, community, and industry settings. Building upon the nearly two decades of the CTSC’s strong foundation and KL2 successes, we have advanced translational science education and career development across UC Davis. This includes creating comprehensive, tailored training tools and fostering innovative career development initiatives alongside a mentoring team that supports the ongoing growth of both scholars and mentors. Despite these advances, there remains a critical need for exceptional clinical and translational investigators skilled in team science, community engagement, and advanced research techniques. These scholars are essential to advancing human health and healthcare while addressing the broad needs of the communities we serve. Over previous and current KL2 funding periods, we have successfully trained 44 early-career faculty members, most of whom have achieved remarkable success, underscoring the program's effectiveness in preparing scholars for independent careers as translational scientists. To sustain this momentum, the program's goals for the upcoming funding period are: (1) cultivate a new generation of highly skilled translational scientists who will lead transformative, interdisciplinary, community-engaged, and patient- centered research; (2) recruit and mentor early career scholars from broad backgrounds in science and medicine, supporting their success; and (3) to empower ACTIVATE scholars to become leaders and mentors in advancing health through the integration of cutting-edge methodologies.
