University of Kansas/Haskell Indian Nations University IRACDA Project

摘要/摘要 我们寻求院校研究和学术事业发展奖(IRACDA)的延续 该项目建立在堪萨斯大学(KU)和附近一所部落学院之间的合作伙伴关系基础上， 哈斯克尔印第安人民族大学(哈斯克尔)。IRACDA结合了KU严格的有指导的研究培训 研究密集型大学，有机会在哈斯克尔发展教学技能。该奖项将支持 共有9名IRACDA博士后研究员；每人将在精心设计的 在研究、教学和有针对性的专业发展方面的指导计划。在第一年，研究员们将 在科罗拉多大学开始他们有指导的研究培训。堪萨斯城大学最具生产力和最成功的教职员工来自 广泛的生物医学学科将作为研究员的研究导师。有指导的研究 这一计划的组成部分预计将导致出版。研究员也将参与教学 并结识了哈斯克尔，为在哈斯克尔任教做准备。在第二年，每个人 将在哈斯克尔教授生物、化学或其他科学课程两个学期，获得经验 成为教育工作者。研究员将由经验丰富的哈斯克尔教员指导教学，这些教员已获得 在教授美国印第安人方面的专业知识。KU与Haskell的接近将使研究员能够继续 研究也是如此。在第三年，研究员将专注于他们的研究，准备并提交一份赠款提案，以及 申请终身教职。由该机构支持的可选的四年制将允许研究员进一步 发展自主研究项目，继续就业。私人助理总干事将负责监督 整个项目和哈斯克尔PD将监督指导教学经验。将进行评估 定期确保可衡量的成果(如出版物、补助金提交、本科生 研究人员的指导和工作申请的提交)得到满足。这项IRACDA计划在 国家。这是美国中部地区唯一的项目，也是唯一与合作机构合作的项目 那是一所四年制的部落学院。因为哈斯克尔教育来自美国各地的美国印第安人 美国国立卫生研究院的这项计划直接影响到美国印第安人的生物医学和科学教育。 全国范围内。该项目在培训多产和有工作能力的科学家方面取得了成功，包括 三名美国印第安人，他们是哈斯克尔目前在科学领域的学生的榜样和导师。

ABSTRACT / SUMMARY We seek continuation of the Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Award (IRACDA) program that builds on the partnership between the University of Kansas (KU) and a nearby tribal college, Haskell Indian Nations University (Haskell). IRACDA combines rigorous mentored research training at KU, a research-intensive university, with the opportunity to develop teaching skills at Haskell. The award will support a total of nine postdoctoral IRACDA fellows; each will spend three to four years in a carefully designed mentoring program in research, teaching, and targeted professional development. In Year 1, the fellows will begin their mentored research training at KU. The most productive and successful KU faculty members from a wide range of biomedical disciplines will serve as research mentors for the fellows. The mentored research component of this program is expected to lead to publications. Fellows will also participate in teaching workshops and become acquainted with Haskell in preparation for teaching at Haskell. In Year 2, each fellow will teach a biology, chemistry, or another science course at Haskell for two semesters, gaining experience in becoming educators. Fellows will be mentored in teaching by experienced Haskell faculty who have gained expertise in teaching American Indians. The proximity of KU with Haskell will allow fellows to continue doing research as well. In Year 3, fellows will focus on their research, prepare and submit a grant proposal, and apply for tenure track positions. An optional Year 4 supported by the institution will allow fellows to further develop their independent research projects and continue to seek employment. The PI/PD will oversee the overall program and the Haskell PD will oversee the mentored teaching experience. Evaluation will be done on a regular basis to ensure that measurable outcomes (such publications, grant submission, undergraduate researchers mentored, and submission of job applications) are met. This IRACDA program is unique in the country. This is the only program in the middle of the country, and the only program with a partner institution that is a 4-year tribal college. Because Haskell educates American Indians that come from across the United States, this NIH program impacts directly the biomedical and science education of American Indians nationwide. The project has demonstrated success in training productive and employable scientists, including three American Indians, who serve as role models and mentors for current Haskell students in the sciences.
