Abstract/Summary The overall goals of the Rochester Partnership to Advance Research and Academic Careers in Deaf Scholars are: a) to provide highly trained biomedical and behavioral scientists who are Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (D/HH) with the knowledge and skills to pursue research and teaching careers in academia; and b) to partner the faculty and programs of the University of Rochester (UR), including its National Center for Deaf Health Research (NCDHR) and Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI), with those of the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), including its National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID), with the long term objective of promoting linkages between the partners and strengthening their excellence in research and education. The program has four specific aims: 1) To develop a mentored postdoctoral research experience for D/HH biomedical and behavioral PhD Scholars at the UR, a research-intensive institution. To do this, we will leverage the well-developed Mentor-Scholar Program established by the UR CTSI, to provide interdisciplinary team mentoring and to define and meet career development goals for each Scholar, as set forth in their Individual Development Plan. We will also take advantage of the CTSI's novel "Mentor the Mentor" Program, and will enhance this program to increase the D/HH cultural competency of UR faculty, and their ability to effectively mentor D/HH Scholars; 2) To establish career development activities at UR and a mentored practicum teaching experience at NTID/RIT to develop the academic and teaching skills of program Scholars, and to strengthen and expand educational offerings at RIT in the areas of biomedical and behavioral science; 3) To evaluate program success, by measuring the effectiveness of training in both research and teaching. This will include assessment of short-term objectives and acquired competencies related to teaching and research skills, knowledge and attitudes; and evaluation of long-term career development and academic performance outcomes related to teaching and research. We will also measure the impact of the program on: the diversity of science educational offerings at RIT; entry by D/HH students into biomedically-related and behavioral science majors and programs at RIT; research collaborations between RIT and UR; and 4) To recruit 3 Scholars from a national pool of D/HH persons with biomedical and behavioral doctorates for 3-year periods of training, for a steady state of 9 D/HH Scholars at any one time. This recruitment will build on prior experience of recruiting D/HH postdoctoral fellows to UR, NTID's leadership role in the national networks that promote postsecondary education and career development in D/HH students, and the global reputation of Rochester, NY as a center for D/HH culture and education. This innovative inter-institutional partnership is the first of its kind in the world and will begin to address the dearth of D/HH faculty at academic institutions serving both hearing and D/HH students. A long-term outcome will be the attraction of more D/HH Scholars into careers in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, fields in which D/HH persons are greatly under-represented.

摘要/概要 罗切斯特伙伴关系的总体目标是推进聋人学者的研究和学术事业 是：a）提供训练有素的生物医学和行为科学家谁是聋人和重听（D/HH） 具备在学术界从事研究和教学事业的知识和技能;以及B）与 罗切斯特大学（UR）的教师和课程，包括其国家聋人健康中心 研究所（NCDHR）和临床与转化科学研究所（CTSI），以及罗切斯特的研究所 技术研究所，包括其国家聋人技术研究所， 目标是促进合作伙伴之间的联系，加强它们在研究和 教育该计划有四个具体目标：1）开发一个指导博士后研究经验 D/HH生物医学和行为博士学者在UR，一个研究密集型机构。为此我们 将利用由UR CTSI建立的完善的导师学者计划，提供 跨学科团队指导，并确定和满足每个学者的职业发展目标， 在个人发展计划中。我们还将利用CTSI的小说“导师导师” 计划，并将加强这一计划，以提高UR教师的D/HH文化能力， 有效指导D/HH学者的能力; 2）在UR和 在NTID/RIT的指导实习教学经验，以发展课程的学术和教学技能 学者，并加强和扩大在RIT在生物医学和行为领域的教育产品 科学; 3）通过测量研究和培训的有效性来评估计划的成功 教学这将包括评估短期目标和与教学有关的能力 研究技能、知识和态度;以及长期职业发展和学术 与教学和研究有关的绩效成果。我们还将衡量该计划对以下方面的影响： RIT科学教育课程的多样性; D/HH学生进入生物医学相关的课程， RIT的行为科学专业和项目; RIT和UR之间的研究合作;以及4） 从拥有生物医学和行为学博士学位的D/HH国家人才库中招募3名学者，为期3年 培训期间，在任何时候都有9名D/HH学者处于稳定状态。此次招聘将建立在以往的基础上。 招募D/HH博士后研究员到UR的经验，NTID在国家网络中的领导作用， 促进D/HH学生的中学后教育和职业发展，以及 纽约州罗切斯特作为D/HH文化和教育中心。这种创新的机构间伙伴关系是 这是世界上第一个此类项目，并将开始解决学术机构D/HH教师缺乏的问题， 听力和D/HH学生。一个长期的结果将是吸引更多的D/HH学者进入 在生物医学和行为科学的职业生涯，其中D/HH人大大代表不足的领域。
