项目摘要 UT健康圣安东尼奥（UTHSA），圣玛丽玛丽大学（StMU）和湖大学圣母（OLLU） 制定了圣安东尼奥生物医学教育和研究（SABER）博士后培训计划4 年前SABER将最先进的研究中的指导培训与创新的教学法教学相结合 方法和指导教学经验。UTHSA，StMU和OLLU都是西班牙裔服务机构 （HSI），直接反映区域人口;圣安东尼奥是美国第七大城市， 在西班牙裔占多数的城市中，西班牙裔人口最多。UTHSA也是唯一的一级研究 德克萨斯州南部的一所大学，拥有强大的教育卓越文化。许多校友占据教职 主要为西班牙裔本科生服务的当地机构的职位。独特的训练 在UTHSA，StMU和OLLU的环境促进教师和学员对大型和 西班牙裔学生人数迅速增加。西班牙裔占该国增长的一半， 在过去的十年里，拉美裔的大学入学率达到了历史最高水平。然而，西班牙裔 在科学界的各级代表性不足。SABER在实现 IRACDA计划的总体目标是为“一个多元化和有成就的学者库”做好准备， 学术生涯，缩小我们的本科生的愿望和成就之间的差距 区域”。十七（17）名博士后研究员被招募到SABER计划; 10名女性，8名 来自代表性不足的群体，10人在UTHSA以外的医生准备。此外，5个SABER中有4个 毕业生进入竞争激烈的教师职位。在SABER中获得的技能和知识 基础设施已被利用，并集成到标准的研究培训环境在UTHSA。 SABER积极影响了OLLU和StMU的科学课程，增加了研究机会， 本科生和促进教师的研究。这个成功的培训计划的目标是 在取得的成就的基础上，扩大其影响，实现以下目标： 高素质的SABER博士后培训生。2)提供示范性的研究，教师和专业 为对学术生涯感兴趣的学者提供培训，主要是本科院校（PUI）或 研究密集型机构（RII）。3)建立本科研究，促进研究合作， 教师的专业发展，以及加强实施有效的研究为基础的 在我们的合作机构使用循证教学策略的科学课程。4)扩大联系 向区域学术机构提供服务。成功完成这些目标将继续 使所有参与和区域学术机构受益，并加强集体生物医学研究 南德克萨斯州的环境和学术界。

Project Summary UT Health San Antonio (UTHSA), St. Mary’s University (StMU), and Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) developed the San Antonio Biomedical Education and Research (SABER) postdoctoral training program 4 years ago. SABER combines mentored training in state-of-the-art research with innovative pedagogic teaching methods and guided teaching experiences. UTHSA, StMU, and OLLU are all Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), a direct reflection of the regional population; San Antonio is the 7th largest city in the United States with the largest Hispanic population in a Hispanic-majority city. UTHSA is also the only Tier-One research university in South Texas and has a strong culture of educational excellence. Many alumni occupy faculty positions at local institutions that predominantly serve Hispanic undergraduate students. The unique training environments at UTHSA, StMU and OLLU promote faculty and trainee sensitivity to the needs of a large and rapidly expanding population of Hispanic students. Hispanics accounted for half of the country’s growth in the last decade and college enrollment of Hispanics is at an all-time high. However, Hispanics are underrepresented at all levels of the scientific community. SABER has been highly successful in achieving the overarching goal of the IRACDA program which is to prepare “a diverse and accomplished pool of scholars for academic careers that closes the gap between the aspirations and achievements of undergraduates in our region”. Seventeen (17) postdoctoral fellows were recruited into the SABER program; 10 were female, 8 were from underrepresented groups and 10 were doctorally-prepared outside UTHSA. Moreover, 4 out of 5 SABER alumni advanced into highly competitive faculty positions. The skills and knowledge gained in the SABER infrastructure have been leveraged and integrated into the standard research training environment at UTHSA. SABER positively impacted the scientific curricula at OLLU and StMU, increased research opportunities for undergraduates and fostered faculty research. The programmatic goals of this successful training program are to build on its achievements and amplify its impact with the following Objectives: 1) Expand the recruitment of highly qualified SABER postdoctoral trainees. 2) Provide exemplary research, teacher, and professional training for Scholars interested in academic careers at either primarily undergraduate institutions (PUI) or research-intensive institutions (RII). 3) Build undergraduate research, foster research collaborations and professional development of faculty as well as enhance the implementation of impactful research-based science curricula using evidence-based teaching strategies at our Partner Institutions. 4) Expand the linkages within SABER to regional academic institutions. Successful completion of these objectives will continue to benefit all participating and regional academic institutions, and enhance the collective biomedical research environment and academic community in South Texas.
