DESCRIPTION (Taken from Application): The Center for Insect Science (CIS) at the University of Arizona proposes an Institutional Research and Career Development Award (IRCDA) program called "Postdoctoral Excellence in Research and Teaching" or PERT. Our Minority Serving Institution (MSI) partner is Pima Community College, a multi-campus school with which the University of Arizona already has a long history of cooperative, minority student centered collaboration. CIS includes faculty from nine academic departments whose work utilizes insects in basic and applied research. Among CIS faculty are three members of the National Academy of Sciences. Insects such as Drosophila, Manduca and mosquitoes have been among the most important taxa contributing to basic biomedical research. CIS faculty have a strong record in training graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. A number of these faculty have also participated in curriculum development using insects as learning tools. Insects have been hugely successful in instruction because they are inexpensive, can be obtained in large numbers, and are easily incorporated into laboratory units dealing with everything from genetics and development to neurobiology and behavior. Seven components of the PERT program are (1) Excellence in postdoctoral research training; (2) Excellence in pedagogical training; (3) Mentored classroom teaching experiences; (4) Development and delivery of improved laboratory exercises, using inquiry approach activities with live insects for introductory biology courses at PCC; (5) Development, over five years, of a course sequence at PCC in biotechnology; (6) Professional development activities for PCC faculty, such as collaborative research with UA faculty, biotechnology workshops, and other courses; (7) Mentored research experience for PCC minority undergraduates at UA that will facilitate their transfer to the university setting and make them competitive for support through the new UA MARC program or the Undergraduate Biology Research Program (UBRP).

描述（摘自申请）：昆虫科学中心（CIS）， 亚利桑那大学提出了一个机构研究和职业生涯 发展奖（IRCDA）计划称为“博士后卓越研究 “教育”或“教育”。我们的少数民族服务机构（MSI）的合作伙伴是皮马 社区学院，一所多校区学校，亚利桑那大学 已经有很长的合作历史，以少数民族学生为中心 协作CIS包括来自九个学术部门的教师，他们的工作 在基础和应用研究中利用昆虫。在CIS教师中有三名 美国国家科学院院士昆虫如果蝇， 曼杜卡和蚊子一直是最重要的类群之一， 到基础生物医学研究。CIS教师在培训方面有很好的记录 研究生和博士后。其中一些教师还 参与利用昆虫作为学习工具的课程开发。昆虫 在教学方面取得了巨大的成功，因为它们价格低廉， 大量获得，并且容易并入实验室单元 从遗传学和发育到神经生物学， 行为 PERT计划的七个组成部分是（1）优秀的博士后 研究培训;（2）教学培训优秀;（3）指导 （4）开发和提供改进的 实验室练习，使用活昆虫进行探究活动， 在PCC的生物学导论课程;（5）开发，在五年内， PCC生物技术课程序列;（6）专业发展 PCC教师的活动，如与UA教师的合作研究， 生物技术讲习班和其他课程;（7）指导研究经验 为PCC少数民族本科生在UA，这将有助于他们转移到 大学环境，并通过新的普遍获得支持， MARC计划或本科生物学研究计划（UBRP）。
