UCSF IRACDA Scholars Program

项目概要- UCSF IRACDA学者计划 需要增加学术一级生物医学研究中多样化劳动力的代表性 是清楚的，有据可查的这一更新申请要求资源继续我们的四年 加州大学旧金山分校弗朗西斯科（UCSF）与旧金山合作的学者培训计划 弗朗西斯科州立大学（SFSU）。该计划始于2007年，其目标是增加 一批训练有素、成功获得资助和可持续发展的研究科学家，他们将表现出色， 提高实验室和教学水平，增加生物医学研究职业中年轻学员的多样性 最终提高我们对健康相关科学的理解。为此，UCSF与 SFSU建立一个项目，为指导博士提供全面的科学和教学培训。 学者谁致力于学术生涯和影响服务不足的少数民族学员。 我们的培训计划的关键要素是（1）指导研究经验，（2）指导教学 在SFSU的经验，（3）每月职业发展讲习班，（4）跨学科的科学经验 （5）持续审查和评估。该计划的核心是4年的培训， 最初三年由培训补助金覆盖，最后一年由PI基金或独立基金覆盖 发展奖。这种培训的大部分（75%）用于基础教育方面的密集研究培训。 实验室科学与其余的培训致力于在SFSU校园教学经验， 与SFSU的本科生代表性不足的学生的指导经验。我们非常好的- 合格的教师和教学导师承诺支持我们的IRACDA学者。内部和 外部顾问以及定期的正式评估将是持续卓越的关键部分， 实现计划的既定目标。 每个学者预计将与至少三个学院研究导师和两个 培训期间的教学导师;定期开会，协助他/她设置，然后 监督培训和职业目标。我们的计划有一个强大的跟踪历史招聘特殊 代表不同背景的学者。在35位现任和前任学者中，近90%是URM。的 在加州大学旧金山分校完成培训的21名学者中，他们平均产生了3.4名同行， 评论出版物（0-9范围），超过50%的人担任过学术职务，其中80%的人在 R1/R3研究机构（范德比尔特、加州大学圣地亚哥分校、加州大学旧金山分校、阿肯色州大学、杜克大学、乔治敦大学、旧金山州立大学和 SJSU）。我们相信该计划的强大成果数据，合作研究密集型培训 在UCSF的环境，以及UCSF和SFSU之间建立良好和富有成效的互动提供了 更新和扩大这一独特的培训机会， 生物医学科学的下一代领导者。

PROJECT SUMMARY – UCSF IRACDA Scholars Program The need for increased representation of a diverse workforce in biomedical research at the academic level is clear and well-documented. This renewal application requests resources to continue our four-year Scholars training program at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) in partnership with San Francisco State University (SFSU). The goal of the program, which began in 2007, is to increase the number of highly trained, successfully funded and sustainable research scientists, who will perform high level laboratory and teaching and increase the diversity of younger trainees in biomedical research careers to ultimately improve our understanding of health-related science. To this end, UCSF has partnered with SFSU to build a program that provides comprehensive science and teaching training for mentoring Ph.D. scholars who are committed to an academic career and impacting underserved minority trainees. The key elements of our training program are (1) a mentored research experience, (2) a mentored teaching experience at SFSU, (3) monthly career development workshops, (4) interdisciplinary scientific experiences and (5) continuing review and evaluation. The centerpiece of the program is the 4-years of training, with the initial three years covered by the training grant and the last year covered by the PI funds or Independent Development Awards. The majority of this training (75%) is devoted to intense research training in basic laboratory science with the remaining training devoted to teaching experiences at the SFSU campus and mentoring experiences with undergraduate underrepresented students from SFSU. Our exceptionally well- qualified faculty and teaching mentors have committed their support to our IRACDA scholars. Internal and external Advisors as well as periodic formal evaluations will be a critical part of continued excellence and achievement of stated goals of the Program. Each Scholar is expected to interact with a team of at least three Faculty Research Mentors and two Teaching Mentors during their training; meeting on a regular basis to assist him/her in setting, and then monitoring training and career goals. Our program has a strong track history of recruiting exceptional Scholars representing a diverse background. Of the 35 current and past scholars, nearly 90% are URMs. Of the 21 Scholars who have completed their training at UCSF, they have produced an average of 3.4 peer- review publications (0-9 range), and over 50% have assumed academic positions, with 80% of these at R1/R3 Research Institutions (Vanderbilt, UCSD, UCSF, U of Arkansas, Duke, Georgetown, SFSU and SJSU). We believe the Program's strong outcomes data, the collaborative research-intensive training environment at UCSF, and the well-established and fruitful interactions between UCSF and SFSU provide compelling rationale for renewing and expanding this unique training opportunity to train and diversify the next generation of leaders in biomedical science.
