IRACDA - The New York Consortium for the Advancement of Postdoctoral Scholars (NY

描述（由申请人提供）：这个IRACDA纽约州博士后学者发展联盟（NY-CAPS）计划旨在为博士后提供研究，教学和专业发展方面的平衡培训，旨在追求作为学者，教师和研究人员的高产学术生涯。这将通过一种创新的混合模式来实现，该模式建立在现有的15年合作的基础上，这些合作是在研究密集型机构（石溪大学）、综合性机构（纽约城市大学布鲁克林学院）、主要本科机构（纽约州立大学旧韦斯特伯里分校）和社区学院（萨福克县社区学院）之间建立的。每个参与机构的强大实力被用来提供强大的研究指导培训，多样化的教学培训，以及学员可能从事学术事业的学术机构的实际接触。NY-CAPS项目每年将招募六(6)名研究员参加为期三年的严格培训计划，该计划将传统的研究培训（75%的努力）与几种教学培训模式以及指导教学经验（25%）相补充。该项目将受益于双重领导模式，将一位在生物医学研究领域成就卓越的国家领导者与一位因其指导活动获得美国总统科学、数学和工程指导卓越奖而获得全国认可的领导者结合起来。我们拥有来自四所大学的62名研究人员和17名教学人员的专业知识，他们代表了10个主要的生物和生物医学学科（生物化学、生物医学工程、化学、生态学和进化、微生物学、神经生物学、病理学、药理学、生理学和心理学）。指导委员会将指导为每个IRACDA学者制定个人发展计划（IDP），该计划将为所有学员提供标准培训和专业发展方案，并根据学者的专业兴趣强调特定的教学法、环境和学生人数。积极的传播和招聘计划将确保在优秀的申请人中适当地多样化和包容种族和族裔少数群体以及残疾人或其他处境不利的人。这个nyu - caps项目的附加价值和创新方法在于其提出的成果，超出了IRACDA学者的培训和专业发展，为每个参与机构带来了广泛的变革效益。此外，合作机构不仅是指导教学经验的熔炉，而且是教学指导和专业发展的制定和执行的积极参与者。我们的目标是利用NY-CAPS计划进行真正的机构间合作，这将有利于现有的教师和学生，不仅与SBU，而且与合作机构之间加强研究和教师培训活动。石溪大学校长已承诺向IRACDA NY-CAPS提供大量资源，以表明对该计划目标的坚定承诺。此应用程序的三个具体目标是：1。招募和培训30名NY-CAPS IRACDA学者，他们的目标是追求科学教师学者的职业生涯。2. 为研究和教学奖学金提供严格和富有成效的培训方案。3. 开发一个可持续的模式，改变博士后学者的招聘、培训和融入更广泛的大学/学院环境的方式，并支持我们的合作机构取得适当的变革成果。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This IRACDA New York State Consortium for the Advancement of Postdoctoral Scholars (NY-CAPS) Program is designed to provide balanced training in research, teaching and professional development for postdoctoral fellows aimed at pursuing highly productive academic careers as scholar-teacher-researchers. This is to be achieved through an innovative blended model set upon the foundation of an existing 15 year collaboration between a research intensive institution (Stony Brook University), a comprehensive institution (The City University of New York Brooklyn College), a primarily undergraduate institution (The State University of New York Old Westbury), and a community college (Suffolk County Community College). The considerable strength of each participating institution has been leveraged to provide strong mentored training in research, a diversity of pedagogic training, and practical exposure to the range of academic institutions where the trainees are likely to pursue academic careers. The NY-CAPS program will recruit six (6) fellows per year to engage in a rigorous three (3) year training program that complements traditional research training (75% effort) with several modalities for pedagogic training, as well as mentored teaching experiences (25%). The program will benefit from a dual leadership model that combines a highly accomplished national leader in biomedical research with one who has been nationally recognized for his mentoring activities with a U. S. Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring. We have garnered significant expertise from 62 research faculty and 17 teaching faculty representing 10 major biological and biomedical disciplines (biochemistry, biomedical engineering, chemistry, ecology and evolution, microbiology, neurobiology, pathology, pharmacology, physiology and psychology) across the four institutions. Mentoring committees will guide the formulation of an Individual Development Plan (IDP) for each IRACDA scholar, that blends a standard training and professional development regimen for all trainees as well as emphases on particular pedagogies, environments and student population based on the professional interests of the scholar. An aggressive dissemination and recruitment plan will assure the appropriate diversity and inclusion of racial and ethnic minorities and those with disabilities or otherwise disadvantaged in an outstanding applicant pool. An added value and innovative approach of this NY-CAPS program is in its proposed outcomes that go beyond the training and professional development of the IRACDA scholars to include broad transformative benefits for EACH of the participating institutions. Additionally, the partner institutions serve not only as crucibles for mentored teaching experience but as active participants in the formulation and execution for pedagogic instruction and professional development. We aim to leverage the NY-CAPS program for true inter- institutional collaborations that will benefit existing faculty and student in enhancing research and teacher training activities not only with SBU but between the partner institutions. Stony Brook University's President has pledged significant resources to IRACDA NY-CAPS to demonstrate strong institutional commitment to the objectives of the program. The three Specific Aims to this application are: 1. Recruit and train 30 NY-CAPS IRACDA scholars whose goals are to pursue careers as scientist teacher scholars. 2. Provide a rigorous and productive training regimen for research and teaching scholarship. 3. Develop a sustainable model that will transform the way postdoctoral scholars are recruited, trained and integrated into the broader university/college setting and support appropriate transformative outcomes at our partner institutions.
