“We provide rigorous didactic training, mentorship, and support for highly-qualified junior faculty to conduct research, with the end goal of competing for external funding. If you’re considering a career in research, this is a wonderful way to get started.”

Since 2010, Tufts CTSI has offered two K scholar award programs: the K12 Career Development Award and the KM1 Career Development Award in Comparative Effectiveness.

We seek innovative scientists across the entire translational science spectrum (T1- T4) to apply for two years of protected research training time towards the development of a clinical and translational research career. The K program includes research training, funds for protected research time and some research supplies, and a structured program to enhance and prepare candidates for translational research careers.
