DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of the proposed IRACDA Scholars in Science (ISIS) program is to attract greater numbers of postdoctoral scholars from underrepresented populations to the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and prepare them to be competitive for, and obtain, faculty positions in excellent academic institutions. This program links UCSF as the research-extensive campus with San Francisco State University (SFSU) as the minority-serving institution (MSI) in a consortium. The ISIS Program will address serious barriers to the progression of these postdoctoral scholars to academic positions in their chosen fields and will prepare them for success as academic researchers. The UCSF-SFSU consortium has four specific aims: 1) Create an extensive mentored research experience at UCSF so that IRACDA postdoctoral fellows conduct cutting-edge biomedical and behavioral research and publish in high quality journals. 2) Create an intensive mentored teaching experience at SFSU so that IRACDA postdoctoral fellows will enrich the SFSU curriculum with contemporary research experiences in biomedical and behavioral research; refine their teaching skills; serve as role models for undergraduates at SFSU; and give SFSU students the opportunity to receive research-related instruction. 3) Create career-enhancing opportunities to prepare the IRACDA Scholars to win an academic position, write successful grants, and manage a research laboratory in an inclusive and ethical manner. 4) Evaluate the ISIS program in order to plan effective future efforts. The UCSF-SFSU consortium will augment its program through an informal alliance with the UC Davis Northern California IRACDA Partnership (NCIP), which will mutually benefit both ISIS and NCIP Scholar cohorts, will conserve funds, and permit the two IRACDA programs to accomplish more than either could separately. Joint activities of this informal alliance between the ISIS and the NCIP Programs will include: recruitment; research events; teaching; career development; seminar programs for prospective recruitment of IRACDA Scholars to academic positions; and the evaluation of combined data. Recruitment of IRACDA scholars and participation in the Prospective Faculty seminar program will also involve the UC San Diego IRACDA Program, headed by Laurence L. Brunton PhD, Program Director. The ISIS program will help create a cadre of postdoctoral scholars who are highly competitive for academic positions. They will be more reflective of the make-up of the general U.S. population and better able to address public health issues through their research, and educate the future leaders of this diverse country.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的 IRACDA 科学学者 (ISIS) 计划的目标是吸引更多来自代表性不足的人群的博士后学者到加州大学旧金山分校 (UCSF)，并使他们做好准备，在优秀的学术机构中竞争并获得教职。该计划将作为研究型校园的加州大学旧金山分校 (UCSF) 与作为少数族裔服务机构 (MSI) 的旧金山州立大学 (SFSU) 联合起来。 ISIS 计划将解决这些博士后学者在其所选领域晋升为学术职位的严重障碍，并为他们作为学术研究人员的成功做好准备。 UCSF-SFSU 联盟有四个具体目标： 1) 在 UCSF 创造广泛的指导研究经验，以便 IRACDA 博士后研究员能够进行尖端的生物医学和行为研究，并在高质量期刊上发表文章。 2) 在 SFSU 创造密集的指导教学经验，以便 IRACDA 博士后研究员能够利用生物医学和行为研究方面的当代研究经验丰富 SFSU 课程；提高他们的教学技能；成为 SFSU 本科生的榜样；并为 SFSU 学生提供接受研究相关指导的机会。 3) 创造职业发展机会，帮助 IRACDA 学者赢得学术职位、成功获得资助并以包容和道德的方式管理研究实验室。 4) 评估 ISIS 计划，以便规划有效的未来工作。 UCSF-SFSU 联盟将通过与加州大学戴维斯分校北加州 IRACDA 合作伙伴关系 (NCIP) 建立非正式联盟来扩大其项目，这将使 ISIS 和 NCIP 学者群体互惠互利，节省资金，并允许两个 IRACDA 项目比任何一个项目单独完成更多的工作。 ISIS 和 NCIP 计划之间这一非正式联盟的联合活动将包括： 招募；研究活动；教学;职业发展；未来招募 IRACDA 学者担任学术职务的研讨会计划；以及综合数据的评估。 IRACDA 学者的招募和未来教师研讨会项目的参与也将涉及加州大学圣地亚哥分校 IRACDA 项目，该项目由项目主任 Laurence L. Brunton 博士领导。 ISIS 项目将帮助培养一支在学术职位上具有高度竞争力的博士后学者骨干队伍。他们将更多地反映美国普通人口的构成，并能够通过研究更好地解决公共卫生问题，并教育这个多元化国家的未来领导人。
