Michigan IRACDA: Diversifying the Future Academic Workforce in STEM

摘要 密歇根大学（UM）在培养博士后研究员方面有着悠久的历史，并致力于 加强未来教师和学生追求科学，技术，工程的管道的多样性 数学（STEM）考虑到这一点，澳大与两所当地学院合作，亨利福特学院 (HFC)和韦恩县社区学院区（WCCCD），开发密歇根州IRACDA： 多样化的学术劳动力在干程序，以发展未来的科学家教育工作者。HFC和 每个WCCCD有18，000 - 20，000名学生，其中有大量代表性不足的少数民族学生。两 学院提供众多的课程，供我们的学者和教学导师参加， 教学记录和分享专业知识的坚定承诺。四年计划，每个 实习学者包括由UM研究导师进行的最初3年75%时间的研究培训， 指导和资助的记录。参与的研究导师跨越大学社区， 包括培训超过400名现有和过去受训人员的综合记录，以及近1500万美元的现有资金。的 前三年剩余的25%培训时间包括教学和专业培训。 发展教学培训包括在HFC和WCCCD的广泛课堂经验， 参与由著名的UM学习和教学中心（CRLT）提供的优秀课程， 并在每个学者选择的“顶点”体验中达到高潮。顶点体验包括担任 记录整个课程的教师，新课程材料的生成，或参与教育 research.培训的第四年将由研究导师提供全职实验室， 允许学者完成研究项目，发表论文，进行一些教学和工作， 争取教职对于这一更新申请，我们的计划目标是（1）促进 独立，创新，严谨的奖学金，团队科学和研究发现;（2）参与我们的 每年都有独特的教学经验，有专家教学导师和正式的教学方法。 培训;（3）利用国内流离失所者、辅导计划、训练有素的教师辅导员， 以及同行和校友网络;（4）提供一系列专业发展机会， 包括RCR、严谨性和再现性以及多样性、公平性和包容性方面的培训;以及（5）提供 教学和专业发展的机会，为教学导师和通知社区学院 学生对STEM教育和研究。我们的计划的独特之处包括杰出的记录 的研究和教学导师，重点是学生与不同背景，我们预计， 对学生的轨迹产生了巨大的影响，著名的UM CRLT，一个强大的学者的全面参与 和方案评估程序，以及强有力的机构支持。我们有信心我们的计划将继续下去 我们在培养新一代科学家教育者方面取得的成功， 成功的教师和导师，我们将激励一批崭露头角的学生， 追求科学和工程事业。

Abstract The University of Michigan (UM) has a superb history of training postdoctoral fellows and is committed to enhancing diversity in the pipeline of future teachers and students pursuing Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM). With this in mind, UM has partnered with two local colleges, Henry Ford College (HFC) and Wayne County Community College District (WCCCD), to develop the Michigan IRACDA: Diversifying the Academic Workforce in STEM program to develop future scientist educators. HFC and WCCCD each have 18,000-20,000 students with a large number of underrepresented minority students. Both colleges provide numerous courses for participation by our scholars and teaching mentors with outstanding teaching records and strong commitments to sharing their expertise. The proposed four-year program for each trainee scholar involves an initial 3 years of 75% time research training by UM research mentors with excellent records of mentorship and funding. The participating research mentors span the University community and include a combined record of training >400 current and past trainees and nearly $15M in current funding. The remaining 25% training time during the first 3 years consists of training in teaching and professional development. Training in teaching involves extensive classroom experiences at HFC and WCCCD, participation in outstanding programs provided by the renowned UM Center for Learning and Teaching (CRLT), and culminating in a “capstone” experience chosen by each scholar. Capstone experiences include serving as instructor of record for an entire course, generation of new curricular materials, or participation in education research. The 4th year of training will be covered by the research mentors providing full time in the laboratory to allow the scholars to complete research projects, publish papers, carry out some teaching and work towards securing a faculty position. For this renewal application, our program objectives are to (1) promote independent, innovative, and rigorous scholarship, team-science, and research discovery; (2) engage our Fellows in unique teaching experiences each year with expert teaching mentors and formal pedagogical training; (3) provide extensive, individualized mentoring using IDPs, mentoring plans, trained faculty mentors, and both peer-to-peer and alumni networking; (4) deliver a range of professional development opportunities, including training in RCR, Rigor & Reproducibility, and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion; and (5) provide pedagogical and professional development opportunities for teaching mentors and inform community college students about STEM education and research. Unique features of our Program include the outstanding record of the research and teaching mentors, a focus on students with diverse backgrounds where we anticipate a huge impact on the trajectory of the students, full engagement of the renowned UM CRLT, a robust scholar and Program evaluation process, and strong institutional support. We are confident our program will continue our demonstrated success in preparing a new generation of scientist-educators to be highly effective and successful faculty members and mentors, and that we will inspire an up-and-coming cohort of students to pursue science and engineering careers.
