DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal seeks to continue the successful IRACDA Scholars in Science (ISIS) Postdoctoral Program between the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) as the research-extensive campus and San Francisco State University (SFSU) as the partner institution with a large population of students who are underrepresented (UR) in the sciences. The primary goals of the ISIS Program are: 1) To prepare UR postdoctoral scholars to obtain, and succeed in, competitive faculty positions at excellent academic institutions; and 2) To enable ISIS Scholars to positively impact SFSU by helping develop a research-oriented science curriculum, serving as role models to SFSU undergraduate science students, and promoting research collaborations between UCSF and SFSU faculty. The ISIS Program prepares postdoctoral scholars for academic research and teaching careers through a series of focused activities that develop high-quality research, teaching, and professional skills. To accomplish these goals, the ISIS Program has four specific aims: 1) Provide an extensive mentored-research experience at UCSF so that ISIS postdocs conduct cutting-edge biomedical and behavioral research and publish in high quality journals; 2) Develop an intensive mentored-teaching experience at SFSU, while contributing notably to a research-oriented science curriculum at SFSU. The ISIS Scholars will refine their teaching skills, serve as role models for undergraduates at SFSU, and engage in research-related instruction; 3) Provide career-development opportunities such as learning to write successful grants, and learning to manage a research laboratory in an inclusive and ethical manner, in order to enhance their skills and preparation for an academic career; and 4) Broaden the Impact of the ISIS Program on SFSU Students and Research Infrastructure. Relevance of this program to public health: In order for our Nation to improve its technical and scientific competitiveness, efforts must be made to increase the number of participating scientists and engineers from under-represented groups. This requires a long educational pathway. The IRACDA Scholars in Science Postdoctoral Program addresses two parts of that pathway; inspiring undergraduates to enter a scientific research career, and preparing postdoctoral scholars for faculty careers where they will be able to address the Nation's biomedical, behavioral and clinical research priorities. Developing this potential will ultimately improve our national competitiveness and prosperity.

描述(由申请人提供)：这项建议旨在继续成功的IRACDA学者科学(ISIS)博士后项目，加州大学旧金山分校(UCSF)作为研究型校园，旧金山州立大学(SFSU)作为合作机构，拥有大量在科学领域未被充分代表(UR)的学生。ISIS项目的主要目标是：1)培养UR博士后学者，以便在优秀的学术机构获得并成功获得有竞争力的教师职位；2)使ISIS学者能够通过帮助开发以研究为导向的科学课程，作为SFSU本科生的榜样，并促进UCSF和SFSU教师之间的研究合作，对SFSU产生积极影响。ISIS项目通过一系列有重点的活动，培养高质量的研究、教学和专业技能，为从事学术研究和教学事业的博士后学者做准备。 为了实现这些目标，ISIS项目有四个具体目标：1)在加州大学旧金山分校提供广泛的导师式研究经验，以便ISIS博士后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SFSU发展密集的导师式教学经验，同时为SFSU以研究为导向的科学课程做出显著贡献。ISIS学者将提高他们的教学技能，作为SFSU本科生的榜样，并从事与研究相关的教学；3)提供职业发展机会，如学习如何撰写成功的补助金，以及学习以包容和道德的方式管理研究实验室，以提高他们的技能并为学术生涯做准备；以及4)扩大ISIS项目对SFSU学生和研究基础设施的影响。该计划与公共卫生的相关性：为了提高我国的技术和科学竞争力，必须努力增加来自代表性不足群体的参与科学家和工程师的数量。这需要一条漫长的教育道路。IRACDA学者科学博士后计划解决了这条道路的两个部分：激励本科生进入科学研究生涯，以及为教师职业生涯准备博士后学者，他们将能够解决国家的生物医学、行为和临床研究的优先事项。开发这一潜力最终将提高我们国家的竞争力和繁荣。
