IRACDA at UCSC and CSUMB

项目摘要 我们的IRACDA项目是加州大学圣克鲁斯分校(UCSC)和加州大学圣克鲁斯分校(UCSC) 加州州立大学蒙特利湾分校(CSUMB)，这两所拉美裔服务机构都位于中部 加利福尼亚。该方案采取双管齐下的方法来解决STEM中少数族裔代表不足的问题 研究：1)为加州大学博士后学者提供严谨的研究环境和专家 在CSUMB进行包容性教学和指导技能培训；2)缩小URM学生的成绩差距 在STEM，通过博士后为CSUMB本科生提供额外的研究指导 伙计们。 在整个4年的培训期间，通过研究(UCSC)和教学进行结构化指导 (CSUMB)导师将确保所有博士后都收到关于发展的一致反馈 研究技能、教育学培训和职业规划。辅导已被证明是一个关键因素 成功获得学术教员职位，特别是来自以下群体的受训人员 生物医学研究。除了指导和实践研究和教学培训外，该计划 包括写作(助学金和教学声明)、循证教学法、 科学实践(严谨和可重复性、负责任的研究行为)、领导力和采访 技能。 在加州大学洛杉矶分校，IRACDA的学者将加入生物研究所附属的研究实验室 其中包括NIGMS任务重点范围内的大量研究领域。在… CSUMB，生物和化学系将在讲座和实验室指导IRACDA的学生 课程和主要为URM学生设计的研究型课程。 CSUMB和UCSC有着长期的合作伙伴关系，包括研究合作，夏季 为加州大学洛杉矶分校的CSUMB学生、CSUMB博士后导师和普通学生提供的研究计划 加州大学洛杉矶分校教职员工在CSUMB的研讨会演讲。我们预计IRACDA计划将进一步 促进南加州大学和南加州大学之间的交流，以加强我们的整体曝光率和机会 学生、博士后学者和教职员工。

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.
