Institutional Research and Academic Career Development

研究和科学教学研究奖学金(第一)计划是由两个研究人员组成的联盟- 密集机构，埃默里大学和莫尔豪斯医学院(MSM)，以及三个 斯佩尔曼莫尔豪斯学院亚特兰大大学中心(AUC)为少数族裔服务的教学机构 大学和克拉克亚特兰大大学。该计划已被证明在招聘、保留、研究等方面取得了成功 出版和安置毕业生的计划。我们增加了任职人数不足的人数 少数族裔进入生物医学研究领域。第一个项目提供跨学科的生物医学 在NIGMS支持的领域由具有提供基础的专业知识的教员进行研究培训 对杰出的博士后研究培训至关重要。目前的研究导师是20名成员 埃默里大学和密歇根州立大学的生物和临床科学系。在三年的团契生涯中， 博士后研究经验与教学计划相辅相成并整合在一起 从如何教授课程，到同行教学，再到精心开发的有指导的教学体验 AUC的教授，最终导致研究员在一门课程中担任领导角色。通过多项研究 措施，包括出版物和就业安置的数量和质量、第一研究员和第一研究员 计划成功地提供了高质量的研究体验。同样，许多评价性教学 措施，包括将创新方法和课程纳入非盟委员会课程，并激励下一个 一代少数民族科学家、第一批研究员和第一批方案在教学中取得成功 努力。其中一些成功可能是由于一些传统上不太为人所知的好处，例如创建了一个 博士后研究员和校友在实验室内外互动的凝聚力核心，结果 联合体的研究和教学机构在研究和教育方面的合作 项目，以及埃默里大学少数民族科学家的总体代表性激增。借助集约化的 形成性和终结性评价和强有力的协作努力，First适应了许多 挑战任何这样的多机构计划，我们在此建议继续该计划和所有 它的成功。

The Fellowships in Research and Science Teaching (FIRST) program is in a consortium of two research- intensive institutions, Emory University and the Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM), and the three minority-serving teaching institutions of the Atlanta University Center (AUC), Morehouse College, Spelman College, and Clark Atlanta University. The program has proven successful in recruitment, retention, research publications and placement of graduates of the program. We have increased the number of underrepresented minorities entering careers in biomedical research. The FIRST program provides interdisciplinary biomedical research training in the areas supported by NIGMS by a faculty with the expertise to provide the foundation critical for outstanding postdoctoral research training. The current research mentors are members of 20 biological and clinical science departments at Emory and MSM. Over the three years of the fellowship, the research post-doctoral experience is complemented and integrated with a teaching program which moves from a How to Teach course, to peer teaching, to a carefully developed mentored teaching experience with a professor at the AUC which culminates in the fellows taking leadership roles in a course. By many research measures, including number and quality ofpublications and job placement, FIRST fellows and theFIRST ' program are succeeding in providing a quality research experience. Similarly, by many evaluative teaching measures, including integrating innovative methods and courses into the AUC curricula and inspiring the next generation of minority scientists, FIRST fellows and the FIRST program are successful in teaching endeavors. Some of this success may be due to less-traditionally-noted benefits, such as the creation of a cohesive core of post-doctoral fellows and alumni that interact in and out of the laboratory, resulting collaboration between the research and teaching institutions of the consortium in research and education projects, and the surge in overall representation of minority scientists at Emory. With the aid of intensive formative and summative evaluation and strong collaborative efforts, FIRST has adapted to many of the challenges any such multi-institutional program faces, and we propose herein to continue the program and all of its successes.
