Project Summary Our IRACDA program is a partnership between the University of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC) and California State University at Monterey Bay (CSUMB), both Hispanic Serving Institutions located in central California. This program takes a 2-pronged approach to address underrepresentation of minorities in STEM research: 1) provide postdoctoral scholars with a rigorous research environment at UCSC and with expert training in inclusive teaching and mentoring skills at CSUMB; 2) shrink the achievement gap of URM students in STEM by providing CSUMB undergraduate students with additional research mentorship by postdoctoral fellows. Throughout the 4-year training period, structured mentoring by research (UCSC) and teaching (CSUMB) mentors will ensure that all postdocs receive consistent feedback with respect to the development of research skills, pedagogy training, and career planning. Mentoring has been shown to be a key factor for success in obtaining academic faculty positions, especially for trainees from groups underrepresented in biomedical research. In addition to mentoring and hands-on research and teaching training, the program incorporates classes and workshops on writing (grants and teaching statements), evidence-based pedagogy, practice of science (Rigor and Reproducibility, Responsible Conduct of Research), leadership, and interview skills. At UCSC, the IRACDA scholars will join research laboratories affiliated with the Institute for the Biology of Stem Cells, which includes a large variety of research areas within the focus of the NIGMS mission. At CSUMB, the Department of Biology and Chemistry will mentor the IRACDA students in lecture and laboratory classes and in research-focused classes designed predominantly for URM students. CSUMB and UCSC have longstanding partnerships, including research collaborations, summer research programs for CSUMB students at UCSC, postdoctoral teaching mentees at CSUMB, and regular seminar presentations by UCSC faculty at CSUMB. We anticipate that this IRACDA program will further stimulate exchange between CSUMB and UCSC to strengthen the overall exposure and opportunities for our students, postdoctoral scholars, and faculty.

项目摘要 我们的IRACDA计划是加利福尼亚大学圣克鲁斯分校（UCSC）和 蒙特雷湾（CSUMB）的加利福尼亚州立大学，两家西班牙裔服务机构都位于中央 加利福尼亚。该计划采用2条规定的方法来解决STEM中少数族裔的人数不足 研究：1）在UCSC为博士后学者提供严格的研究环境和专家 在Csumb的包容性教学和指导技能方面的培训； 2）收缩URM学生的成就差距 在STEM中，通过为Csumb本科生提供博士后的其他研究指导 研究员。 在整个4年培训期间，通过研究（UCSC）和教学结构指导 （csumb）导师将确保所有博士后都在开发方面获得一致的反馈 研究技能，教学法培训和职业计划。指导已被证明是 在获得学术教师职位方面的成功，特别是对于来自人为不足的团体的受训者 生物医学研究。除了指导和动手研究和教学培训外，该计划还 结合了有关写作的课程和讲习班（赠款和教学声明），基于证据的教学法， 科学实践（严格和可重复性，负责任的研究），领导和访谈 技能。 在UCSC，IRACDA学者将加入生物学研究所的研究实验室 干细胞（包括在Nigms任务重点的各种研究领域）的干细胞。在 Csumb，生物学和化学系将指导IRACDA学生的讲座和实验室学生 课程和以研究为重点的课程主要是为URM学生设计的。 CSUMB和UCSC与长期合作伙伴关系，包括研究合作，夏季 UCSC的CSUMB学生的研究课程，Csumb的博士后教学指导和常规 UCSC教职员工的研讨会演讲。我们预计该IRACDA计划将进一步 刺激Csumb和UCSC之间的交换，以增强我们的整体曝光和机会 学生，博士后学者和教师。
