DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Kansas (KU), in partnership with Haskell Indian Nations University, seeks continuation of the Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Award (IRACDA). The program combines carefully mentored research training at KU, a research intensive university, with the opportunity for inspiring faculty with a strong interest in working with minority students to develop teaching skills in a very unique minority-serving institution, i.e. a tribal college. The award will support a total of ten postdoctoral IRACDA scholars, each of whom will spend three years in a carefully designed program that includes three major training activities. Applicants admitted to the program will select a research mentor with expertise in the scholar's discipline. In Year 1, the scholars begin their research projects in the mentors' laboratories, take a course in Responsible Conduct of Research, participate in teaching workshops provided at KU, and are introduced to the Haskell faculty and the culture of the institution. The most productive and successful KU faculty members across a wide range of biomedical disciplines will serve as research mentors for the scholars. In the first semester of Year 2, each scholar will team-teach two sections of introductory biology under the guidance of a Haskell faculty member and, in the second semester, the scholar will teach an upper level class or seminar in his/her specialty area. The scholars will also continue to work on their research projects as they gain teaching and multi-tasking experience. In Year 3, scholars focus on their research and enroll in a 15 week Grant Writing Program leading to the preparation of a complete proposal. The PI will oversee the quality of the scholars' research experience at KU. The Co-l, KU's Director of the Office for Diversity in Science Training, will work closely with the Dean of Math and Science at Haskell, who will oversee the Haskell teaching experience, to ensure that the systematic teaching enhancement and mentoring activities at KU are well coordinated with the teaching experience. The involvement of the Dean will assure that the scholars become aware of the specific cultural needs of American Indian students. An external evaluator familiar with the MORE programs has been contracted to conduct both formative and summative evaluation on an annual basis. In summary, this KU / Haskell IRACDA program exploits the unique collaborative network that has been established between a tribal college and a research intensive university to train a new type of scientist, one that is equipped to handle the growing ethnic, cultural and social diversity of the 21st century.

描述（由申请人提供）：堪萨斯大学（KU）与哈斯克尔印度民族大学合作，寻求继续获得机构研究和学术职业发展奖（IRACDA）。该计划结合了精心指导的研究培训在KU，研究密集型大学，与激励教师的机会，在与少数民族学生合作的强烈兴趣，以发展教学技能在一个非常独特的少数民族服务机构，即部落学院。该奖项将支持总共10名博士后IRACDA学者，他们每个人都将花三年时间在一个精心设计的计划，其中包括三个主要的培训活动。被录取的申请人将选择一位在学者学科方面具有专业知识的研究导师。在第一年，学者开始他们的研究项目在导师的实验室，采取研究的负责任的行为的课程，参加在KU提供的教学研讨会，并介绍了哈斯克尔教师和机构的文化。在广泛的生物医学学科中最富有成效和成功的KU教师将担任学者的研究导师。在第二年的第一个学期，每个学者将在哈斯克尔教师的指导下团队教授两个介绍生物学的部分，在第二个学期，学者将在他/她的专业领域教授上层课程或研讨会。学者们还将继续致力于他们的研究项目，因为他们获得教学和多任务的经验。在第三年，学者们专注于他们的研究，并报名参加为期15周的赠款写作计划，以准备一份完整的提案。PI将监督学者在KU的研究经验的质量。KU科学培训多样性办公室主任Co-l将与Haskell数学与科学系主任密切合作，后者将监督Haskell教学经验，以确保KU的系统性教学增强和指导活动得到很好的协调与教学经验。院长的参与将确保学者们意识到美国印第安学生的具体文化需求。 一名熟悉MORE方案的外部评价员已签约每年进行形成性和总结性评价。总之，这个KU / Haskell IRACDA计划利用了部落学院和研究密集型大学之间建立的独特合作网络，以培养新型科学家，能够应对21世纪日益增长的种族，文化和社会多样性。
