DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Seeding Postdoctoral Innovators in Research and Education (SPIRE) is an innovative post-doc training program that provides training experiences essential for success of the future's biomedical researchers. By merging research training with professional development emphasizing learning, education and communication, UNC Chapel Hill, in alliance with 7 NC historically minority universities (HMUs), via the Partnership for Minority Advancement in the Biomolecular Sciences (PMABS), has during the first SPIRE grant created a uniquely innovative program for post-docs that provides comprehensive training. This training develops research excellence, as well as learning/education excellence, which concurrently contributes to providing HMU minority students equal access to the knowledge and technology revolutions and opportunities with the goal of contributing to achieving diversity in biomedical careers. Integrated with other PMABS initiatives, SPIRE is a cogent example of the synergies that can be created between programs to open doors for trainees to novel, critically needed career paths - e.g., research, teaching, policy, ELSI-- that address the science crisis confronting this nation. This competing continuation renewal will advance SPIRE to the next significant level of excellence that will compellingly demonstrate the importance of providing new kinds of training to today's and tomorrow's researchers. Programmatic integration and innovation documented with tangible outcomes (e.g., success of post-docs and HMU minority students in biomedical careers), built upon evaluation and lessons learned/successes to date, will expand and refine SPIRE's well conceived original design in a variety of ways, including: 1) increase number of uniquely trained post-docs to meet burgeoning profession and HMU need; 2) diffuse IT innovation broadly to further advance post-doc and student success; 3) expand participation to include outstanding researchers from Duke University and NC State University; 4) target disciplines (e.g., genomics, bioinformatics, molecular genetics) to meet the urgent learning needs of HMU students; and 5) expand the exceptional opportunity for sustained post-doc mentoring of minority student research and thus advancement into research careers. SPIRE is poised to begin the needed revolution in post-doc traininq and diversity which will revitalize US born student interest in biomedical careers.

简介（由申请人提供）：SPIRE是一个创新的博士后培训项目，为未来生物医学研究人员的成功提供必要的培训经验。通过将研究培训与强调学习、教育和交流的专业发展相结合，北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校与7所北卡罗来纳历史上的少数民族大学（hmu）合作，通过生物分子科学少数民族发展伙伴关系（PMABS），在第一次SPIRE拨款期间为博士后创建了一个独特的创新项目，提供全面的培训。这种培训培养了卓越的研究，以及卓越的学习/教育，同时有助于为HMU少数民族学生提供平等的知识和技术革命机会，为实现生物医学事业的多样性做出贡献。与其他PMABS计划相结合，SPIRE是一个令人信服的例子，它可以在项目之间创造协同效应，为学员打开通往新颖的、急需的职业道路的大门——例如，研究、教学、政策、ELSI——解决这个国家面临的科学危机。这种竞争性的延续更新将推动SPIRE达到下一个显著的卓越水平，这将有力地证明为当今和未来的研究人员提供新型培训的重要性。基于迄今为止的评估和经验教训/成功经验，项目整合和创新记录了切实的成果（例如，博士后和HMU少数民族学生在生物医学事业上的成功），将以多种方式扩展和完善SPIRE精心构思的原始设计，包括：1)增加经过独特培训的博士后数量，以满足新兴的专业和HMU的需求；2)广泛传播信息技术创新，进一步促进博士后和学生的成功；3)扩大参与范围，吸纳杜克大学和北卡罗来纳州立大学的优秀研究人员；4)有针对性的学科（如基因组学、生物信息学、分子遗传学），以满足HMU学生的迫切学习需求；5)扩大对少数民族学生研究的持续博士后指导的特殊机会，从而促进他们的研究事业。SPIRE准备在博士后培训和多样性方面开始必要的革命，这将重振美国出生的学生对生物医学事业的兴趣。
