The Tufts IRACDA Program will serve the national need for university and college faculty trained in bio-medical research and optimally prepared for the multiple challenges faced by professors in their first independent position. To be successful, these individuals must set up and manage a productive research lab, obtain grant funding, and develop and deliver innovative science courses. They must understand the value of diversity in the scientific workforce and be able to inspire the next generations of scientists through the teaching and research opportunities they offer. Tufts IRACDA will address these challenges by providing exceptional postdoctoral scholars with the research portfolio and career skills needed to succeed in an academic research environment that includes mentoring of future biomedical researchers. To achieve our goals, we will partner with three local institutions: the University of Massachusetts, Boston, Pine Manor College and Bunker Hill Community College, all of which are committed to educating students from groups underrepresented in the biomedical research workforce. Our Tufts IRACDA program builds upon our successful TEACRS postdoctoral training program. With TEACRS, we developed valuable teaching and research collaborations with our partner faculty and students. Tufts IRACDA will utilize new initiatives to enhance the research and scholarship of our postdoctoral scholars and build upon our existing strengths in teaching and career development. These initiatives will broadly prepare our scholars for academic positions at the nation's top universities and colleges and increase the impact of Tufts connections at our partner schools. To do this, we will: • Recruit and prepare the nation's best postdoctoral scholars for successful careers in tenure-track, academic positions in the biomedical sciences by providing strong research training. • Prepare our scholars to create and deliver impactful science curricula to diverse student populations. • Foster research and mentoring partnerships that encourage undergraduates at our partner institutions to engage in independent research and pursue biomedical science careers. Tufts provides outstanding opportunities for research training in the traditional biomedical disciplines as well as areas such as biomedical engineering, nutrition, and behavioral sciences. Scholars will spend on average 75% of their time conducting research and 25% of their time in career development and teaching activities, including teaching. Similar training, along with comprehensive career mentoring, enabled us through TEACRS to place 88% (36/41) of our alumni in academic faculty positions well-suited to their career goals, a percentage markedly above the national IRACDA average of 73%. In the new Tufts IRACDA program, we will strengthen the training in research and research-related career skills such as grant and manuscript writing, so that we place scholars in a more balanced mix of research-intensive and primarily undergraduate institutions. We plan to support a total of nine scholars each year from IRACDA funds and three from institutional support.

塔夫茨IRACDA计划将服务于国家需要的大学和学院的教师在生物医学培训 研究和最佳准备教授在他们的第一个独立面临的多重挑战 位置为了取得成功，这些人必须建立和管理一个富有成效的研究实验室， 资助，并开发和提供创新的科学课程。他们必须了解多样性的价值， 科学工作者，并能够通过教学和 他们提供的研究机会。塔夫茨IRACDA将通过提供特殊的 博士后学者的研究组合和职业技能需要在学术研究取得成功 环境，包括指导未来的生物医学研究人员。为了实现我们的目标，我们将与 与三所当地院校合作：马萨诸塞州大学、波士顿大学、松树庄园学院和掩体山大学 社区学院，所有这些都致力于教育学生从群体代表不足， 生物医学研究人员。我们的塔夫茨IRACDA计划建立在我们成功的TEACRS博士后 培训计划。通过TEACRS，我们与合作伙伴开展了有价值的教学和研究合作 教师和学生。塔夫茨IRACDA将利用新的举措，以加强我们的研究和奖学金 博士后学者和建立在我们现有的教学和职业发展的优势。这些 这些举措将为我们的学者在全国顶尖大学和学院的学术职位做好广泛的准备 并增加塔夫茨大学在我们合作学校的影响力。为此，我们将： ·招聘和准备全国最好的博士后学者在终身制轨道成功的职业生涯， 通过提供强有力的研究培训，在生物医学科学的学术职位。 ·准备我们的学者创建和提供有影响力的科学课程，以不同的学生群体。 ·促进研究和指导伙伴关系，鼓励我们的合作机构的本科生 从事独立研究和追求生物医学科学事业。 塔夫茨大学为传统生物医学学科的研究培训提供了极好的机会， 生物医学工程、营养学和行为科学等领域。学者平均花费75% 他们的时间进行研究和25%的时间在职业发展和教学活动，包括 教学类似的培训，沿着全面的职业指导，使我们能够通过TEACRS 88%（36/41）的校友在学术教师职位非常适合他们的职业目标，百分比 明显高于全国IRACDA平均水平73%。在新的Tufts IRACDA计划中，我们将加强 研究和研究相关职业技能的培训，如赠款和手稿写作，使我们 将学者放在研究密集型和主要是本科院校的更平衡的组合中。我们计划 每年从IRACDA基金中资助9名学者，从机构资助中资助3名学者。
