摘要/总结 我们寻求机构研究和学术职业发展奖（IRACDA）的延续 该计划建立在堪萨斯大学（KU）和附近的部落学院之间的伙伴关系， Haskell Indian Nations University（Haskell）IRACDA结合了KU严格的指导研究培训， 这是一所研究型大学，有机会在Haskell发展教学技能。该奖项将支持 共有9名博士后IRACDA研究员;每个人将在精心设计的 在研究，教学和有针对性的专业发展辅导计划。在第一年，研究员将 开始他们在KU的指导研究培训。最富有成效和成功的KU教师从一个 研究员的研究导师将来自多个生物医学学科。指导研究 该计划的一部分，预计将导致出版物。研究员也将参与教学 讲习班和熟悉Haskell，为在Haskell教学做准备。在第二年，每个人 我会教生物，化学，或其他科学课程在哈斯克尔两个学期，获得经验， 成为教育家。研究员将由经验丰富的Haskell教师指导教学， 专门教授美洲印第安人。KU与Haskell的接近将允许研究人员继续做 研究也是。在第三年，研究员将专注于他们的研究，准备和提交赠款提案， 申请终身职位由该机构支持的可选的第四年将允许研究员进一步 发展自己的独立研究项目，并继续寻找就业机会。PI/PD将监督 整体项目和Haskell PD将监督指导的教学经验。将进行评估 定期，以确保可衡量的成果（如出版物，赠款提交，本科 研究人员得到指导，并提交工作申请）。这个IRACDA计划是独一无二的， 国家这是唯一一个在中部地区的项目，也是唯一一个与合作机构合作的项目。 那是一所四年制的部落大学因为哈斯克尔教育来自美国各地的印第安人， 美国国家卫生研究院的这一项目直接影响到美国印第安人的生物医学和科学教育 全国范围该项目在培训有生产力和可就业的科学家方面取得了成功， 三个美洲印第安人，谁作为榜样和导师，目前哈斯克尔学生在科学。

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.
