PROJECT SUMMARY The research community recognizes that current training of future faculty is inadequate, and understands the considerable benefits and need for diversity throughout academia and the biomedical workforce. The goals of this application are two-fold: (1) Train the next-generation of higher education faculty through a strongly mentored research program (75% effort), coupled to substantive training and experience in teaching (25% effort). (2) Increase the number of underrepresented minority (URM) students who ultimately become leaders in the biomedical research enterprises of Minnesota and beyond. Minnesota is poised at a moment of great opportunity. A wave of immigration two decades ago rapidly increased our population of Somali, Hmong and Latino citizens. Their children are now in our high schools and community colleges. If we are to enhance diversity in all enterprises within the State of Minnesota, we need to act now. The Training Research Educators in Minnesota (TREM) IRACDA program is part of the University of Minnesota's (U of M's) response to this opportunity. The University is partnering with three Minneapolis-St Paul community colleges. Student composition in these colleges is 28-46% NSF-defined racial and ethnic minority, and approximately 50% economically disadvantaged. TREM will enable our brightest postdocs in the biomedical sciences to have a balanced training in research and teaching. TREM scholars will devote 75% effort to their own research program, and will be mentored by 35 U of M faculty across a broad spectrum of biomedical disciplines. As well as research, TREM scholars will devote 25% effort to development of teaching skills. In combination, this will enable the scholars to become skilled research educators. TREM is a three year, full-time program with a 3:1 effort balance each year between research and teaching, respectively. Annually, three new scholars will be admitted to TREM, leading to a steady state of nine scholars when fully populated. In year 1, the scholars will take the Preparing Future Faculty program at the U of M, and during the summer will each host a community college URM student in a ten week, full-time research internship. In years 2 and 3, the scholars will work with an experienced teaching mentor for one semester to update and develop 1.5-2 credits of course material at the partner institutions, and gain substantive teaching experience in both classroom and laboratory environments. TREM's immediate goal is to tap into the diversity currently in our community colleges, whilst preparing superlative future faculty. In the long-term, we envisage TREM scholars become successful tenured faculty who inspire their students, whilst the TREM program as a whole will increase the number of Minnesota URM students who pursue postgraduate education and become leaders within the biomedical workforce. !

项目概要 研究界认识到当前对未来教师的培训不足，并理解 整个学术界和生物医学工作者队伍的多样性带来了巨大的好处和需求。目标 该应用程序有两个方面：（1）通过强有力的培训培养下一代高等教育教师 指导研究计划（75% 的努力），加上实质性培训和教学经验（25% 努力）。 (2) 增加最终成为领导者的少数族裔 (URM) 学生的数量 明尼苏达州及其他地区的生物医学研究企业。 明尼苏达州正处于一个绝佳的机遇时刻。二十年前迅速兴起的移民潮 增加了索马里、苗族和拉丁裔公民的人口。他们的孩子现在在我们的高中就读 社区学院。如果我们要增强明尼苏达州所有企业的多样性，我们需要 立即行动。明尼苏达州研究教育工作者培训 (TREM) IRACDA 计划是该大学的一部分 明尼苏达大学（U of M）对此机会的回应。该大学正在与明尼阿波利斯圣保罗分校的三所大学合作 保罗社区学院。这些学院的学生构成中 28-46% 是 NSF 定义的种族和民族 少数族裔，并且大约 50% 的经济处于不利地位。 TREM 将使我们生物医学领域最聪明的博士后能够接受均衡的培训 研究和教学。 TREM学者将投入75%的精力进行自己的研究项目，并将 由 35 名明尼苏达大学教员提供广泛生物医学学科的指导。除了研究之外，TREM 学者们将投入25%的精力用于教学技能的发展。结合起来，这将使学者们 成为熟练的研究教育者。 TREM 是一个为期三年的全日制课程，每个课程的努力平衡为 3:1 研究和教学之间分别为一年。每年，三名新学者将被 TREM 录取， 当人口满时，导致九名学者的稳定状态。在第一年，学者们将参加准备课程 明尼苏达大学的未来教师计划，夏季期间将分别接待一名社区大学 URM 学生 在十周的全职研究实习中。在第二年和第三年，学者们将与经验丰富的人一起工作 教学导师一学期在合作伙伴处更新和开发1.5-2学分的课程材料 机构，并在课堂和实验室环境中获得实质性的教学经验。特雷姆 近期目标是利用我们社区大学目前的多样性，同时准备最高级的课程 未来的教师。从长远来看，我们预计 TREM 学者将成为成功的终身教员，激发人们的灵感 他们的学生，而 TREM 项目作为一个整体将增加明尼苏达州 URM 学生的数量 攻读研究生教育并成为生物医学劳动力中的领导者。 ！
