Academic Science Education and Research Training

简介（申请人提供）：学术科学教育与研究培训（ASERT）是一个为期三年的博士后奖学金项目，将密集的指导研究与教育教育学和实践教学证书课程结合起来。该项目是新墨西哥大学（UNM）（一个研究密集型机构）和两个少数民族服务机构（msi）之间的正式联盟；新墨西哥中部（CNM）社区学院，新墨西哥州立大学（NMSU）。西南印度理工学院（SIPI）和din¿College计划加入。IRACDA的学者可以与50名参与的教师合作，研究范围从单分子追踪到遗传学中的伦理、法律和社会问题。新墨西哥大学在工程、药理学、生物学和生物医学科学方面的跨学科研究项目提供了最先进的设施和独特的技术。一年级学生启动他们的研究项目，建立个人专业发展目标，确定MSI教育导师，完成新墨西哥大学的教育基础课程和研讨会。在第二年，研究员继续他们的研究，完成拨款写作，道德和其他专业发展培训，并制定个性化的教学计划，以满足MSI和研究员的需求。在第三年，研究员们努力完成他们的研究，并积极地进行讲座，开设实验课程或进行评估。作品集记录了所有的教学活动和反思性反馈，用于同事评估。项目成果是通过以下研究生产力（出版物、拨款奖励）和职业道路跟踪来衡量的。新墨西哥大学ASERT计划利用新墨西哥州丰富的种族多样性、独特的少数民族服务机构（MSIs）以及新墨西哥大学国际公认的卓越研究和教育，培养一支致力于研究和卓越教学的新学者队伍。与msi的合作接口服务于新墨西哥州的大多数西班牙裔和美洲原住民人口，并通过交流课程改进和主动学习的思想，以及科学和教学职业的角色模型，为科学界的多样化提供了丰富而肥沃的土壤。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Academic Science Education and Research Training (ASERT) is a three-year postdoctoral fellowship program that couples intensive, mentored research with a certificate program in educational pedagogy and practical teaching. The program is a formal consortium between the University of New Mexico (UNM), a research-intensive institution, and two minority serving institutions (MSIs); Central New Mexico (CNM) Community College, New Mexico State University (NMSU). Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute (SIPI) and Din¿ College plan to join. IRACDA scholars may work with 50 participating faculty on topics ranging from single molecule tracking to ethical, legal and social issues in genetics. UNM's interdisciplinary research programs in engineering, pharmacology, biological and biomedical sciences offer access to state-of-the-art facilities and unique technologies. Year 1 fellows inaugurate their research project, establish individual professional development goals, identify an MSI education mentor and complete educational foundations coursework and workshops at UNM. In Year 2, fellows continue their research, complete grant-writing, ethics and other professional development training, and develop an individualized teaching plan that addresses the needs of the MSI and the fellow. During Year 3, fellows work toward finalizing their research and actively give lectures, run laboratory courses or conduct assessments. A portfolio documents all teaching activities and reflective feedback is used for fellow assessment. Program outcomes are measured by following research productivity (publications, grant awards) and career path tracking. To develop a new cadre of academics with a dual commitment to research and teaching excellence, the UNM ASERT program takes advantage of New Mexico's rich ethnic diversity, unique minority-serving institutions (MSIs), and UNM's internationally-recognized research and educational excellence. The collaborative interfaces with MSIs serving New Mexico's majority Hispanic and Native American populations and provide rich and fertile ground for diversifying the scientific community through the exchange of ideas for curriculum enhancement and active learning, as well as role- modeling of careers in science and teaching. Public Health Relevance Statement: Academic Science Education and Research Training (ASERT) is a program for individuals with doctoral degrees who are interested in pursuing careers in a University or College setting. ASERT provides trainees with practical experience in both research and teaching. Special attention is paid to ensuring that the program's trainees are prepared to address the health and scientific issues facing our ethnically, culturally and socially diverse populations.
