K12 Mentored Career Development Grant

​​The CTSI K12 supports the career development of investigators committed to clinical and translational research.

The K12 program is designed to develop a cadre of well-trained early-stage faculty investigators from across the health and biomedical sciences through individualized training to engage fully, succeed and lead in translational research and science. The training programs and educational infrastructure will foster a pipeline of early career clinician scientists with training that promotes scientific curiosity and discovery. We will sustain and enhance a culture in which translational scientists can collaborate to accomplish trans-disciplinary research that results in improved clinical outcomes.

The K12 program is open to any assistant professor engaged in clinical or translational research or science, who has less than three years of service in that role at the time of appointment. The K12 Award is available for a period of three years (contingent on satisfactory progress), with two years of CTSI funding and a third from the scholar’s home college/department.

The Ohio State CTSI seeks proposals that address scientific questions consistent with our mission to fund research across the Translational Spectrum: the biological basis of health and disease, interventions that improve the health of individuals and the public, and health outcomes research.
