DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This IRACDA New York State Consortium for the Advancement of Postdoctoral Scholars (NY-CAPS) Program is designed to provide balanced training in research, teaching and professional development for postdoctoral fellows aimed at pursuing highly productive academic careers as scholar-teacher-researchers. This is to be achieved through an innovative blended model set upon the foundation of an existing 15 year collaboration between a research intensive institution (Stony Brook University), a comprehensive institution (The City University of New York Brooklyn College), a primarily undergraduate institution (The State University of New York Old Westbury), and a community college (Suffolk County Community College). The considerable strength of each participating institution has been leveraged to provide strong mentored training in research, a diversity of pedagogic training, and practical exposure to the range of academic institutions where the trainees are likely to pursue academic careers. The NY-CAPS program will recruit six (6) fellows per year to engage in a rigorous three (3) year training program that complements traditional research training (75% effort) with several modalities for pedagogic training, as well as mentored teaching experiences (25%). The program will benefit from a dual leadership model that combines a highly accomplished national leader in biomedical research with one who has been nationally recognized for his mentoring activities with a U. S. Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring. We have garnered significant expertise from 62 research faculty and 17 teaching faculty representing 10 major biological and biomedical disciplines (biochemistry, biomedical engineering, chemistry, ecology and evolution, microbiology, neurobiology, pathology, pharmacology, physiology and psychology) across the four institutions. Mentoring committees will guide the formulation of an Individual Development Plan (IDP) for each IRACDA scholar, that blends a standard training and professional development regimen for all trainees as well as emphases on particular pedagogies, environments and student population based on the professional interests of the scholar. An aggressive dissemination and recruitment plan will assure the appropriate diversity and inclusion of racial and ethnic minorities and those with disabilities or otherwise disadvantaged in an outstanding applicant pool. An added value and innovative approach of this NY-CAPS program is in its proposed outcomes that go beyond the training and professional development of the IRACDA scholars to include broad transformative benefits for EACH of the participating institutions. Additionally, the partner institutions serve not only as crucibles for mentored teaching experience but as active participants in the formulation and execution for pedagogic instruction and professional development. We aim to leverage the NY-CAPS program for true inter- institutional collaborations that will benefit existing faculty and student in enhancing research and teacher training activities not only with SBU but between the partner institutions. Stony Brook University's President has pledged significant resources to IRACDA NY-CAPS to demonstrate strong institutional commitment to the objectives of the program. The three Specific Aims to this application are: 1. Recruit and train 30 NY-CAPS IRACDA scholars whose goals are to pursue careers as scientist teacher scholars. 2. Provide a rigorous and productive training regimen for research and teaching scholarship. 3. Develop a sustainable model that will transform the way postdoctoral scholars are recruited, trained and integrated into the broader university/college setting and support appropriate transformative outcomes at our partner institutions.

描述(由申请者提供)：IRACDA纽约州促进博士后学者联盟(NY-CAPS)计划旨在为博士后研究员提供研究、教学和专业发展方面的平衡培训，旨在追求学者-教师-研究人员的高生产率学术生涯。这将通过创新的混合模式实现，该模式建立在现有15年合作的基础上，合作伙伴包括研究密集型机构(石溪大学)、综合性机构(纽约城市大学布鲁克林学院)、以本科为主的机构(纽约老韦斯特伯里州立大学)和社区学院(萨福克县社区学院)。每个参与机构都有相当大的实力，在研究方面提供强有力的指导培训，提供多样化的教学培训，并实际接触到受训人员可能从事学术生涯的各种学术机构。NY-CAPS计划将每年招募六(6)名研究员参与一个严格的三(3)年培训计划，该计划通过几种教学培训方式以及指导教学经验(25%)补充传统的研究培训(75%的努力)。该计划将受益于双重领导模式，这种模式结合了一位在生物医学研究方面成就卓著的全国领导者，以及一位因其指导活动而在全国范围内获得美国总统科学、数学和工程卓越指导奖的人。我们从62名研究人员和17名教师那里获得了重要的专业知识，他们代表了四所院校的10个主要生物和生物医学学科(生物化学、生物医学工程、化学、生态学和进化论、微生物学、神经生物学、病理学、药理学、生理学和心理学)。指导委员会将指导为每个IRACDA学者制定个人发展计划(IDP)，该计划融合了所有受训人员的标准培训和专业发展方案，并根据学者的专业兴趣侧重于特定的教学、环境和学生人数。积极的宣传和招聘计划将确保种族和族裔少数群体以及残疾人或其他弱势群体的适当多样性，并将其纳入优秀的申请者池中。NY-CAPS项目的一个附加值和创新方法是，其提出的成果超越了IRACDA学者的培训和专业发展，包括为每个参与机构带来广泛的变革性好处。此外，伙伴机构不仅是指导教学经验的熔炉，而且是制定和执行教学指导和专业发展的积极参与者。我们的目标是利用NY-CAPS计划进行真正的机构间合作，这将使现有的教职员工和学生受益，不仅加强与SBU的研究和教师培训活动，而且加强合作机构之间的研究和教师培训活动。石溪大学校长承诺向IRACDA NY-CAPS提供大量资源，以证明机构对该计划目标的坚定承诺。这项申请的三个具体目标是：1.招聘和培训30名纽约大学IRACDA学者，他们的目标是从事科学家、教师和学者的职业生涯。2.为研究和教学奖学金提供严格和富有成效的培训方案。3.开发一种可持续的模式，改变博士后学者的招聘、培训和融入更广泛的大学/学院环境的方式，并支持我们的伙伴机构取得适当的变革性成果。
