DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Academic Science Education and Research Training (ASERT) program for postdoctoral scholars at the University of New Mexico (UNM) matches PhD graduates from around the United States with outstanding biomedical research mentors and engages New Mexico's diverse populations through effective science education collaborations with minority serving institution (MSI) and national tribal college partners. As one of 19 NIH-NIGMS Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Awards (IRACDA), the ASERT program requires scholars to spend 75% of their time on research and 25% on teaching and career development activities. During the next funding cycle we will extend the length of the program to 4 years, by requiring research mentors to contribute 25% of scholars' stipend each year. This will enable scholars to solidify both their research programs and education collaborations, engage in career development and skill building activities, apply and interview for faculty positions. The overall, long-term objective of ASERT is to contribute to the number of junior faculty across the country with the training and experience to succeed in all facets of academic life at institutions that are likely to have highly diverse student populations and where interdisciplinary, collaborative research is essential for success. To accomplish this goal, the ASERT program focuses on 1) developing strong, independent research programs with mentoring by cutting-edge scientists, 2) preparation for effective teaching and course and curriculum development that meets with success for diverse student populations, 3) development of strong yet insightful leadership, mentoring, and management skills, and 4) acquiring the team-building skills that underlie success in the current job market. Research training and most career development activities take place at UNM and capitalize on the wide array and depth of available resources: research seminars and journal clubs, participation in interdisciplinary research programs in cancer, bioengineering, nanotechnology and clinical translational sciences, interactions with other NIH-funded programs for undergraduates and post-baccalaureates (IMSD, MARC, PREP, INBRE), highly relevant and internationally recognized educational development workshops, education seminars and retreats, and skill- and team-building activities. We will admit 4-5 scholars each year and have established a track record of fellows assuming independent academic careers. All ASERT activities and career tracking are evaluated by a non- ASERT evaluation team, collating feedback and input from ASERT scholars, T32 trainees and ASERT mentors to provide outcomes data and assessment for continual program improvement.

描述（由申请人提供）：学术科学教育和研究培训（ASERT）计划博士后学者在新墨西哥州（UNM）匹配博士毕业生来自美国各地的优秀生物医学研究导师和从事新墨西哥州的不同人群通过有效的科学教育合作与少数民族服务机构（MSI）和国家部落学院的合作伙伴。作为一个 在19个NIH-NIGMS机构研究和学术职业发展奖（IRACDA）中，ASERT计划要求学者将75%的时间用于研究，25%用于教学和职业发展活动。在下一个资助周期，我们将延长该计划的长度为4年，通过要求研究导师每年贡献学者津贴的25%。这将使学者能够巩固他们的研究计划和教育合作，从事职业发展和技能建设活动，申请和面试教师职位。ASERT的总体，长期目标是促进全国各地的初级教师的培训和经验，在学术生活的各个方面取得成功的机构，有可能有高度多样化的学生群体和跨学科，合作研究是成功的关键。为了实现这一目标，ASERT计划的重点是1）开发强大的，独立的研究计划，由尖端科学家指导，2）为有效的教学和课程和课程开发做好准备，以满足不同学生群体的成功，3）发展强大而富有洞察力的领导，指导和管理技能，以及4）获得团队建设技能，这是在当前就业市场取得成功的基础。研究培训和大多数职业发展活动都在新墨西哥大学进行，并利用广泛而深入的现有资源：研究研讨会和期刊俱乐部，参与癌症，生物工程，纳米技术和临床转化科学的跨学科研究计划，与其他NIH资助的本科生和学士后课程的互动（IMSD、MARC、PREP、INBRE）、高度相关和国际公认的教育发展讲习班、教育研讨会和务虚会以及技能和团队建设活动。我们每年将招收4-5名学者，并建立了承担独立学术生涯的研究员的跟踪记录。所有ASERT活动和职业跟踪均由非ASERT评估团队进行评估，整理ASERT学者、T32学员和ASERT导师的反馈和意见，以提供结果数据和评估，从而持续改进计划。
