From its beginning in 2009 and throughout its tenure, the mission of the Mentored Experiences in Research, Instruction, and Teaching (MERIT) Program has been and continues to be to train postdoctoral scholars to become tomorrow's leading researchers and academicians. To achieve its mission, the primary goal of the MERIT Program remains providing postdoctoral scholars with outstanding research and teaching experiences while improving the recruitment of under-represented groups into the field of biomedical and behavioral research. The MERIT Program is facilitated through a partnership of UAB, Stillman College, Oakwood University and Lawson State Community College; all schools are located in Alabama within a 100 mile radius. In this second competitive renewal, the research component continues to incorporate laboratory-based instruction together with ethics training and professional skills development, including instruction in grant writing and time and laboratory management. The teaching component remains comprised of four key elements: i) teaching-related coursework; ii) one-on-one mentoring of an undergraduate student; iii) course development; and iv) class-room and on-line teaching experiences. New programmatic elements include new and expanded partnerships at Stillman, Oakwood and Lawson State; enhanced academic job preparation; culture awareness mentor training; increased MERIT Scholar resources; and expanded institutional commitment. During the current grant period, assessment of the MERIT Program has indicated that: i) its scholars have progressed in their research and teaching abilities and job placement opportunities; ii) career development and the recruitment of underrepresented groups have increased at the host institution; and iii) science-related curriculua, the number of undergraduates applying to graduate programs in the biomedical sciences, and faculty research collaborations have been enhanced at the partner institutions. Currently, the MERIT Program funds nine training slots each year; in this application, we request to retain this same number of training slots per year.

从 2009 年成立之初及其整个任期内，Mentored 的使命 研究、指导和教学经验 (MERIT) 计划已经并将继续 培养博士后学者成为明天的领先研究人员 院士们。为了实现其使命，MERIT 计划的主要目标仍然是 为博士后学者提供杰出的研究和教学经验，同时 改善代表性不足群体在生物医学和生物医学领域的招募 行为研究。 MERIT 计划是通过 UAB、斯蒂尔曼学院、 奥克伍德大学和劳森州立社区学院；所有学校都位于阿拉巴马州 100 英里半径内。在第二次竞争更新中，研究部分继续 将实验室教学与道德培训和专业技能结合起来 开发，包括拨款写作、时间和实验室管理方面的指导。这 教学部分仍然由四个关键要素组成：i）与教学相关的课程作业；二） 对本科生进行一对一的指导； iii) 课程开发； iv) 教室 以及在线教学经验。新的计划元素包括新的和扩展的 斯蒂尔曼、奥克伍德和劳森州立大学的合作伙伴关系；加强学术工作准备； 文化意识导师培训；增加 MERIT 学者资源；并扩大了 机构承诺。 在当前资助期内，对 MERIT 计划的评估表明： i) 其学者在研究、教学能力和就业安置方面取得了进步 机会； ii) 职业发展和代表性不足群体的招聘 主办机构增加； iii) 与科学相关的课程， 申请生物医学科学研究生课程和教师研究的本科生 伙伴机构的合作得到加强。目前，MERIT 计划 每年资助九个培训名额；在此申请中，我们要求保留相同数量的 每年的培训名额。
