IRACDA at UCLA

摘要 我们的目标是继续在加州大学洛杉矶分校(UCLA)进行一项职业发展计划，名为 IRACDA在加州大学洛杉矶分校，负责将不同的博士后学者过渡到大学级别的学术职位。这 跨学科项目将通过加州大学洛杉矶分校的高质量学科培养新的博士水平的研究学者- 具体方案，并通过特定阶段的讲习班促进职业发展。与此同时，学者们将被 接受包容性、主动学习教学法培训，并接受加州大学洛杉矶分校教育创新和评估中心的评估 “在科学中学习”(CEILS)，国家“研究、教学、学习一体化中心” (CIRTL)和加州大学洛杉矶分校(UCLA)暑期学院(SI)。附带的两个阶段的辅导教学体验，称为 练习1和练习2将在我们的合作机构加州州立大学洛杉矶分校(加州州立大学洛杉矶分校)进行， 这其中包括STEM专业70%的URM。我们的学者将教授入门和高级生物学，以及 与他们的导师一起学习生物化学课程，同时介绍基于CIRTL的新的教学方法 教学作为研究(TAR)的核心使命。学者们还将团队教授他们自己的课程BIOL4540，这门课 将培训加州州立大学洛杉矶分校的本科生阅读、呈现和评论主要文学作品。加州大学洛杉矶分校的 教育评估(CEA)将每年对该计划进行形成性评估。CEA与评估 在加州州立大学洛杉矶分校表演，将提高学者的教学技能和课程内容，使我们的合作伙伴受益 机构。IRACDA资助的九名学者的稳定状态对于形成有效的队列和学习是必要的 社区影响加州州立大学洛杉矶分校的课程。 加州大学洛杉矶分校的研究培训人员包括52名因其多样性而被选中的杰出科学家，以及 他们在领导力、奖学金和指导方面的记录。培训人员涵盖了与NIGMS相关的广泛领域 研究主题和参与杰出的科学，这将使学者获得先进的研究 使用最先进的设施进行培训。新近获得博士学位。拥有出色的研究资历和致力于 将积极招聘教师。研究第一年的津贴支持将由研究导师提供， 而接下来的三年将来自IRACDA。经过一年的紧张研究，教学将交织在一起 加入到项目中。指导教学经验的一个关键方面将是开发TAR项目 一个有限的实习1，在那里学者们跟着他们的教学导师，教四堂课。TAR项目 在IRACDA资助的第一年和第二年之间，将在加州大学洛杉矶分校的SI中进行细化，并实施 在实习2期间，学者们将教授一半的导师课。IRACDA资助的最后一年将 专注于研究、论文写作、工作准备和完成CIRTL学者级别的要求 认证。加州大学洛杉矶分校对IRACDA的广泛行政支持确保了加州大学洛杉矶分校的承诺 和加州州立大学洛杉矶分校共同培养新一代高效的教育学教师 加强URM在专业中的留存，并过渡到研究生院和劳动力市场。

ABSTRACT Our goal is to continue a career-development program at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) termed IRACDA at UCLA, for transitioning diverse postdoctoral scholars into university-level academic positions. This interdisciplinary program will train new Ph.D. level scholars in research through UCLA's high-quality, discipline- specific programs, and in career development through stage-specific workshops. In parallel, scholars will be trained in inclusive, active learning pedagogy, and assessment by UCLA's “Center for Education Innovation and Learning in the Sciences” (CEILS), the national "Center for Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning" (CIRTL), and UCLA's Summer Institute (SI). An accompanying two-stage mentored teaching experience, termed practicums 1 and 2, will occur at our partner institution, California State University, Los Angeles (Cal State LA), which comprises >70% URMs in STEM majors. Our scholars will teach introductory and advanced biology, and biochemistry courses with their mentors, while introducing novel pedagogical approaches based on CIRTL's Teaching as Research (TAR) core mission. The scholars will also team-teach their own course, BIOL4540, which will train Cal State LA undergraduates to read, present and critique the primary literature. UCLA's Center for Educational Assessment (CEA) will formatively evaluate the program annually. CEA along with assessment performed at Cal State LA, will improve the scholars' teaching skills, and course content, benefiting our partner institution. A steady state of nine IRACDA-funded scholars are necessary to form an effective cohort and learning community to impact Cal State LA's courses. UCLA's research training faculty includes fifty-two outstanding scientists chosen for their diversity, and their records of leadership, scholarship, and mentoring. The training faculty cover a breadth of NIGMS-relevant research topics and participate in outstanding science that will allow scholars to obtain advanced research training using state of the art facilities. Recent Ph.Ds. with excellent research credentials and a commitment to teaching will be actively recruited. Stipend support in the first year of research will be from the research mentors, while the following three years will be from IRACDA. After a year of intense research, teaching will be interwoven into the program. A key aspect of the mentored teaching experience will be development of a TAR project during a limited practicum 1, where the scholars shadow their teaching mentor and teach four lectures. The TAR project will be refined in UCLA's SI between the scholars' first and second years of IRACDA funding, and implemented during Practicum 2, where the scholars will teach half of the mentors' classes. The last IRACDA-funded year will focus on research, paper-writing, job preparation, and completing requirements for CIRTL Scholar-level certification. The broad-based administrative support for IRACDA at UCLA assures a commitment at UCLA and Cal State LA to the development of a new generation of highly effective faculty trained in pedagogy that enhances URM retention in the major, and transition to both graduate schools and the workforce.
