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. !

项目摘要 研究界认识到，目前对未来教师的培训是不够的， 整个学术界和生物医学劳动力的多样性的巨大好处和需求。的目标 这一应用的两个方面：（1）通过强有力的培训下一代高等教育教师， 指导研究计划（75%的努力），加上实质性的培训和教学经验（25%） 努力）。(2)增加最终成为领导者的代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生的数量 在明尼苏达州和其他地方的生物医学研究企业中。 明尼苏达州正处于一个伟大的机会时刻。二十年前的移民潮 增加了索马里、苗族和拉丁美洲公民的人口。他们的孩子现在在我们的高中， 社区大学如果我们要加强明尼苏达州所有企业的多样性，我们需要 现在就行动。明尼苏达州培训研究教育工作者（TREM）IRACDA计划是该大学的一部分 明尼苏达大学（U of M's）对这一机会的回应。该大学正在与三个明尼阿波利斯-圣 保罗社区学院这些学院的学生组成是28-46% NSF定义的种族和民族 少数民族，约50%的经济弱势群体。 TREM将使我们最聪明的博士后在生物医学科学有一个平衡的培训， 研究和教学。TREM学者将投入75%的精力在自己的研究计划，并将 由35个跨广泛的生物医学学科的M教师U指导。除了研究，TREM 学者们将把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工作者。TREM是一个为期三年的全日制课程，每个人的努力平衡为3：1 一年之间的研究和教学，分别。每年将有三名新学者被TREM录取， 当完全填充时，导致九个学者的稳定状态。第一年，学者们将参加准备课程 未来的教师计划在M的U，并在夏季将每个主机社区大学URM学生 为期十周的全职研究实习在第二年和第三年，学者们将与经验丰富的 一个学期的教学导师，在合作伙伴处更新和开发1.5-2学分的课程材料 机构，并获得实质性的教学经验，在课堂和实验室环境。TREM's 当前的目标是利用我们社区学院目前的多样性，同时准备最好的 未来教师从长远来看，我们设想TREM学者成为成功的终身教职员工， 他们的学生，而TREM计划作为一个整体将增加明尼苏达州URM学生的数量， 追求研究生教育，并成为生物医学劳动力的领导者。 !
