In order to better support the research community at Iowa, ICTS has recently created the UIowa Translational Science Scholars program.
These translational science scholars will join the cohort of K12 scholars, and will participate in the Critical Thinking courses run through the ICTS as well as an 8-week mentoring academy and monthly K-Club discussions.
Skill Development
Scholars will have a chance to hone their:
Scientific writing
Public speaking to diverse audiences
Study design
Leadership
Team science skills
Most of these activities will not incur additional costs, though the tuition for the Critical Thinking course or costs for attending appropriate national meetings would come from the Scholar’s home department. UIowa Translational Science Scholars will be eligible to apply for the formal K12 program.
