 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of our IRACDA program (Fellowships in Research and Science Teaching or FIRST) has been and continues to be the combination of a traditional mentored postdoctoral research experience at Emory or Morehouse School of Medicine, research-intensive institutions, with an opportunity for the fellows to develop teaching skills that involve instruction in teaching methods and a mentored teaching experience at one of the Atlanta University Center Schools (Spelman College, Clark Atlanta University or Morehouse College, all Minority Serving Institutions). Our combined program facilitates the progress of underrepresented minority postdoctoral candidates into research and teaching careers in academia and provides all program fellows with experience at Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) that promotes the next generation of scientists at MSIs. Our program also strongly reinforces interaction among faculty at the Atlanta University Center (AUC) schools and their counterparts at the two research intensive institutions participating in this program. The objectives of our Program are four-fold: (1) to enhance research-oriented teaching at the AUC schools; (2) to increase or enhance the research backgrounds of developing scientists to conduct high quality research in an academic environment; (3) to further promote interaction between Emory University, the AUC schools, and Morehouse Medical School that will lead to further collaboration in research and teaching; and (4) to increase the number of well-qualified underrepresented minority students entering competitive careers in biomedical research. Evaluation of the Program shows that the fellows in the FIRST Program publish at the same rate as their peers supported on T32 grants at Emory and other institutions with IRACDA programs. The evaluation also shows that FIRST fellows enter academic positions and receive post-fellowship grant awards at the same rate as T32 fellows (based on NIH data). The program has benefited the MSIs by providing support for development and recruitment of new faculty some of which are FIRST fellows and providing new courses and training opportunities for MSI students.

 描述(由申请人提供)：我们IRACDA项目(研究和科学教学奖学金或FIRST)的总体目标一直是并将继续是在研究密集型机构埃默里或莫尔豪斯医学院传统的有导师的博士后研究经验与研究员发展的机会相结合 教学技能，包括教学方法的指导和在亚特兰大大学中心学校(斯佩尔曼学院、克拉克亚特兰大大学或莫尔豪斯学院，所有少数族裔服务机构)的指导教学经验。我们的联合计划促进了少数族裔博士后候选人进入学术界的研究和教学职业生涯，并为所有计划研究员提供在少数族裔服务机构(MSI)的经验，以促进MSI的下一代科学家。我们的计划还有力地加强了亚特兰大大学中心(AUC)学校的教职员工与参与该计划的两个研究密集型机构的同行之间的互动。我们计划的目标有四个方面：(1)加强AUC学校的研究型教学；(2)增加或加强培养科学家在学术环境中进行高质量研究的研究背景；(3)进一步促进埃默里大学、AUC学校和莫尔豪斯医学院之间的互动，从而促进进一步的研究和教学合作；以及(4)增加高素质、代表性不足的少数族裔学生进入竞争激烈的生物医学研究职业生涯的人数。对该计划的评估表明，第一个计划中的研究员的发表速度与他们在Emory和其他有IRACDA计划的机构的T32赠款上支持的同龄人相同。评价还显示，第一批研究员进入学术职位并获得奖学金后补助金的比例与T32研究员相同(根据国家卫生研究院的数据)。该方案通过为发展和招聘新教师(其中一些是初级研究员)提供支持，并为MSI学生提供新的课程和培训机会，使MSI受益。
