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(由申请者提供)：IRACDA Scholars in Science(ISIS)计划的目标是吸引更多来自代表性不足人群的博士后学者来到加州大学旧金山分校(UCSF)，并为他们在优秀学术机构竞争和获得教职做好准备。该计划将加州大学旧金山分校作为研究型校园与旧金山州立大学(SFSU)作为一个联合体中的少数族裔服务机构(MSI)联系起来。ISIS项目将解决这些博士后学者在所选领域获得学术职位的严重障碍，并为他们成为成功的学术研究人员做好准备。加州大学旧金山分校联盟有四个具体目标：1)在加州大学旧金山分校创造广泛的导师研究经验，以便IRACDA博士后研究员进行尖端生物医学和行为研究，并在高质量的期刊上发表文章。2)在旧金山州立大学创造密集的指导教学经验，以便IRACDA博士后研究员将用当代生物医学和行为研究方面的研究经验丰富SFSU的课程；完善他们的教学技能；作为SFSU本科生的榜样；并让SFSU的学生有机会接受与研究相关的指导。3)创造促进职业发展的机会，使IRACDA奖学金获得者做好准备，赢得学术职位，获得成功的赠款，并以包容和道德的方式管理研究实验室。4)评估ISIS计划，以便规划未来有效的努力。加州大学旧金山分校的联合体将通过与加州大学戴维斯分校北加州IRACDA伙伴关系(NCIP)的非正式联盟来扩大其计划，这将使ISIS和NCIP学者队列互惠互利，将节省资金，并允许这两个IRACDA计划实现比任何一个单独完成的更多的目标。ISIS和NCIP方案之间这一非正式联盟的联合活动将包括：招聘；研究活动；教学；职业发展；IRACDA学者未来招聘学术职位的研讨会方案；以及综合数据评估。招募IRACDA学者和参与未来教师研讨会计划还将涉及加州大学圣地亚哥分校IRACDA计划，由计划主任Laurence L.Brunton博士领导。ISIS项目将有助于培养一支竞争激烈的博士后学者队伍。他们将更好地反映美国总体人口的构成，并能够通过他们的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。
