IRACDA at University of Illinois at Chicago

伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校(UIC)是一所城市研究密集型大学，致力于为 教育来自不同背景和缺乏服务的学生。UIC在提供教育方面处于全国领先地位 向代表不足的少数族裔提供服务，这体现在它作为少数族裔服务、西班牙裔服务和亚洲人的地位 美洲和美洲原住民太平洋岛民服务机构。我们推荐芝加哥地区优秀奖 教育与研究(职业)计划，旨在提供严格和平衡的基于团队的培训 在教学和研究方面，面向不同的博士后研究员群体，目标是培养出 都有充分的条件在研究和教学密集型机构成为学术界的领导者。职业生涯是 UIC与芝加哥南部唯一的公立大学州长州立大学(GSU)建立合作伙伴关系 郊区和一所不仅拥有多样化的学生群体，而且拥有高度多样化的教师的学校。使用 在UIC职业计划中，我们将1)招募和保留IRACDA学者和定制培训的不同队列 针对个人职业目标/轨迹；2)构建研究密集型培训经验，以支持 成功地将学者过渡到教员职位；以及3)与GSU设计合作课程以进行培训 学者在核心能力方面所需的卓越教学。通过利用强大的机构 来自爱荷华州立大学癌症中心、CCTS、教学中心和多样性办公室、我们的 程序填补了一个自然的空白。不仅在芝加哥或其他中西部城市没有IRACDA项目 城市，但UIC目前没有支持和培养博士后研究员成为教育工作者的培训计划 以及我们不同社区中的研究人员。职业计划将把UIC的教员聚集在一起 药学院和医学院成为合作伙伴关系，以支持研究和职业生涯 发展研究员，而州长州立大学将为发展教学技能提供支持 在一所本科院校。该项目的结构不仅将培养博士后研究员，而且还将有助于 巩固GSU学生加入UIC研究生或专业课程的渠道。两国关系还将 促进GSU和UIC教员之间的合作，以鼓励新的研究项目并发展一种文化 培养多元化的科学家群体。该计划将鼓励博士后研究员参与 在来自药房和医学的资金充足的导师实验室的最新研究计划中，专注于广泛的 与NIGMS目标相关的各种研究。研究员将参加教学和职业发展研讨会 在UIC和GSU。他们还将在指导团队的指导下进行专业发展 继续使用国内流离失所者，以确保在获得资金、出版物和联网方面取得适当进展。 学者将有机会在基于实验的课程中授课，入门讲座课程，并介绍新的 健康前课程内容在格拉斯哥州立大学课程中缺失。总体而言，拟议的职业计划有助于 通过培训不同人群的教育工作者作为研究人员、导师和教师来履行UIC的使命。

The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) is an urban, research intensive university committed to serving and educating students from diverse and underserved backgrounds. UIC is a national leader in providing education to under-represented minorities as demonstrated by its status as a Minority Serving, Hispanic Serving, and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving institution. We propose the Chicago ARea Excellence in Education & Research (CAREER) program, designed to provide rigorous and balanced team-based training in both teaching and research to a diverse group of postdoctoral fellows, with the goal of producing scholars who are well-equipped to be leaders in academia at research- and teaching-intensive institutions alike. CAREER is a partnership between UIC and Governors State University (GSU), the only public university in Chicago's south suburban area and a school that boasts not only a diverse student body, but also a highly diverse faculty. With the UIC CAREER program we will 1) recruit and retain a diverse cohort of IRACDA scholars and tailor training for individual career goals/trajectories; 2) structure a research-intensive training experience that supports a successful transition of scholars to faculty positions; and 3) design a collaborative curriculum with GSU to train scholars in the core competencies required for excellence in teaching. By drawing upon strong institutional support from the UI Cancer Center, CCTS, Teaching and Learning Center, and the Office of Diversity, our program fills a natural void. Not only are there no IRACDA programs in Chicago or any other urban Midwestern city, but UIC currently has no training programs that support and prepare postdoctoral fellows to be educators and researchers within our diverse community. The CAREER program will bring together faculty from the UIC Colleges of Pharmacy and Medicine into a collaborative partnership to support the research and career development of fellows, while Governors State University will provide the support for developing teaching skills at an undergraduate institution. The structure of the program will not only train postdoctoral fellows, but also help to solidify a pipeline for GSU students to join graduate or professional programs at UIC. The relationship will also foster collaboration between GSU and UIC faculty to encourage new research programs and to develop a culture of educating a diverse community of scientists. The program will encourage postdoctoral fellows to participate in state-of-the-art research programs in well-funded mentor labs from Pharmacy and Medicine focused on a wide variety of research related to NIGMS goals. Fellows will engage in teaching and career development workshops at both UIC and GSU. They will also develop professionally under the guidance of a mentoring team with continued use of the IDP to ensure adequate progress in obtaining funding, publications, and networking. Scholars will have the opportunity to teach in lab based courses, introductory lecture courses, and introduce new pre-health course content missing from the GSU curriculum. Overall, the proposed CAREER program helps to fulfill the mission of UIC by training educators for diverse populations as researchers, mentors, and teachers.
