Irving Institute Announces 2019-2020 KL2 Mentored Career Development Awards
The Irving Institute for Clinical and Translational Research, home to Columbia University’s Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Program hub, announces the 2019-2020 KL2 scholars.
The KL2 Mentored Career Development Award combines didactic training, mentoring, exposure to multidisciplinary research, and ongoing evaluation to prepare young investigators for careers in patient oriented research (POR). The award serves as a "bridge" by which young junior faculty can achieve research independence.

- Research master's degree (Master of Science in Patient Oriented Research Program) with traditional classroom training
- Mentored research project
- Participation in multidisciplinary seminars and colloquia
