DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We seek continuation of the Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Award (IRACDA) program that builds on the established partnership between KU and Haskell Indian Nations University. The project has demonstrated success in training productive and employable scientists, including three American Indians, who serve as role models and mentors for current Haskell students in the sciences. IRACDA combines rigorous mentored research training at KU, a research intensive university, with the opportunity to develop teaching skills in a neighboring tribal college. The award will support a total of fifteen postdoctoral IRACDA scholars, each of whom will spend three to four years in a carefully designed program that includes research training activities, teaching, and targeted professional development. In Year 1, the scholars will begin their research projects in the mentors' laboratories, take a Responsible Conduct of Research course, participate in teaching workshops provided at KU, and become acquainted with the Haskell faculty and institutional culture. The most productive and successful KU faculty members from a wide range of biomedical disciplines will serve as research mentors for the fellows. In Year 2, each fellow will team-teach an introductory biology course during the fall and spring semesters, gaining experience in both lecture and laboratory instruction. The two semester sequence allows fellows to reflect on their teaching experiences during the first semester and make adjustments for improvement in the second semester. The proximity to Haskell also allows scholars to continue their research projects as they gain teaching and multi-tasking experience. Scholars will also team-teach a Research Methods and Techniques workshop that provides essential laboratory and research skills to Haskell students who plan to begin undergraduate research experiences in KU faculty research labs supported by the RISE or Bridge programs. In Year 3, the fellows will focus on their research, complete the development of an independent research project, and enroll in a grant writing program that will lead to the preparation of a competitive research proposal. An optional Year 4 supported by the institution will allow fellows to further develop their independent research projects and continue to seek employment. The PD of the project will oversee the research training, and the Co-D (KU Director of the Office for Diversity in Science Training) and Haskell PD (faculty member from the Math and Science department) will oversee the Haskell teaching experience by ensuring that appropriate mentoring, supervision, and evaluation occur. An external evaluator familiar with the MORE programs will conduct a formative and summative evaluation on an annual basis. In summary, this KU / Haskell IRACDA program exploits the unique collaborative framework that has been established between a tribal college and a research intensive university to train a new type of scientist, one that is equipped to handle the growing ethnic, cultural, and social diversity of the 21st century.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们寻求延续基于KU和Haskell Indian Nation University之间建立的合作伙伴关系的机构研究和学术培养奖（IRACDA）计划。该项目在培训生产和可就业科学家方面取得了成功，其中包括三名美国印第安人，他们是科学现任学生的榜样和导师。 IRACDA结合了一所研究密集大学KU的严格指导的研究培训，并有机会在邻近的部落学院发展教学技能。该奖项将支持15个博士后IRACDA学者，每个学者将在一项精心设计的计划中花费三到四年，其中包括研究培训活动，教学和有针对性的专业发展。在第一年，学者将在导师的实验室开始他们的研究项目，进行负责任的研究课程，参加KU提供的教学研讨会，并熟悉Haskell教职员工和机构文化。来自各种生物医学学科的富有成效和成功的KU教师将成为研究员的研究导师。在第二年，每个研究员都将在秋季和春季学期的介绍性生物学课程中进行团队学习，从而获得讲座和实验室教学的经验。两个学期的序列使研究员可以在第一学期反思他们的教学经历，并在第二学期进行调整以改进。与Haskell的接近性还允许学者在获得教学和多任务经验时继续其研究项目。学者还将团队教会研究方法和技术研讨会，为计划在Rise或桥梁计划支持的KU教师研究实验室开始的Haskell学生提供基本的实验室和研究技能。在第3年，研究员将专注于他们的研究，完成一个独立研究项目的发展，并参加一项赠款写作计划，该计划将导致准备竞争性的研究建议。该机构支持的4年4年级将使研究员能够进一步发展其独立的研究项目并继续寻求就业。该项目的PD将监督研究培训，Co-D（KU科学培训多样性办公室主任）和Haskell PD（数学和科学系的教职员工）将通过确保适当的指导，监督和评估来监督Haskell教学经验。熟悉更多计划的外部评估者将每年进行形成性和总结性评估。总而言之，该KU / HASKELL IRACDA计划利用了部落学院和一所研究密集大学之间建立的独特合作框架，该框架培训了一种新型的科学家，该框架有能力处理21世纪不断增长的种族，文化和社会多样性。
