Boost Research Funding and Build a Healthier, More Diverse Physician-Scientist Pipeline
The challenge: recruiting new physician scientists to your institution while keeping existing talent engaged and improving diversity. The solution: the Vice President’s Clinical and Translational Research Scholar Program. So far, the $1.2 million dollar program has generated an additional $23 million in research grants—nearly a 20:1 return on investment. Using what Dr. Carrie Byington calls a Matrix Mentoring Model, the program is welcoming to women and underrepresented minorities, who often feel excluded by conventional, one-on-one mentoring methods. In this interview, Dr. Byington shares how the program is structured and what benefits it has brought to the University of Utah School of Medicine.
