K12 Scholars receive up to 3 years of funding to support research and training in translational science.
The TraCS K12 Program is a mentored career development award in translational science. Under the direction of mentors and TraCS K leadership (Drs. Michelle Hernandez and Jon Juliano) scholars will conduct translational science projects and receive training to develop leadership and mentoring skills in the principles of translational science—and learn how those principles can be applied to develop solutions for research barriers and inefficiencies.
