IRACDA at UCSC and CSUMB

项目摘要 我们的IRACDA计划是加州大学圣克鲁斯分校（UCSC）和 加州州立大学蒙特利湾分校（CSUMB），这两个西班牙裔服务机构位于中部 加州。该计划采取双管齐下的方法来解决少数民族在STEM中的代表性不足问题 研究：1）在UCSC为博士后学者提供严格的研究环境， 在CSUMB的包容性教学和指导技能培训; 2）缩小URM学生的成绩差距 通过为CSUMB本科生提供博士后额外的研究指导， 伙计们 在整个4年的培训期间，通过研究（UCSC）和教学结构化指导 （CSUMB）导师将确保所有博士后获得关于发展的一致反馈， 研究技能、教学法培训和职业规划。指导已被证明是一个关键因素， 成功地获得学术教职，特别是来自少数群体的受训人员， 生物医学研究除了指导和实践研究和教学培训，该计划 包括写作课程和讲习班（赠款和教学声明），循证教学法， 科学实践（严谨性和再现性，负责任的研究行为），领导力和面试 skills. 在UCSC，IRACDA学者将加入附属于生物学研究所的研究实验室。 干细胞的研究领域，其中包括NIGMS使命重点范围内的各种研究领域。在 CSUMB，生物和化学系将在讲座和实验室指导IRACDA学生 课程和以研究为重点的课程主要为URM学生设计。 CSUMB和UCSC有着长期的合作伙伴关系，包括研究合作，夏季 研究计划CSUMB学生在UCSC，博士后教学学员在CSUMB，并定期 UCSC教师在CSUMB的研讨会演讲。我们预计，IRACDA计划将进一步 促进CSUMB和UCSC之间的交流，以加强我们的整体曝光和机会 学生，博士后学者和教师。

Project Summary Our IRACDA program is a partnership between the University of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC) and California State University at Monterey Bay (CSUMB), both Hispanic Serving Institutions located in central California. This program takes a 2-pronged approach to address underrepresentation of minorities in STEM research: 1) provide postdoctoral scholars with a rigorous research environment at UCSC and with expert training in inclusive teaching and mentoring skills at CSUMB; 2) shrink the achievement gap of URM students in STEM by providing CSUMB undergraduate students with additional research mentorship by postdoctoral fellows. Throughout the 4-year training period, structured mentoring by research (UCSC) and teaching (CSUMB) mentors will ensure that all postdocs receive consistent feedback with respect to the development of research skills, pedagogy training, and career planning. Mentoring has been shown to be a key factor for success in obtaining academic faculty positions, especially for trainees from groups underrepresented in biomedical research. In addition to mentoring and hands-on research and teaching training, the program incorporates classes and workshops on writing (grants and teaching statements), evidence-based pedagogy, practice of science (Rigor and Reproducibility, Responsible Conduct of Research), leadership, and interview skills. At UCSC, the IRACDA scholars will join research laboratories affiliated with the Institute for the Biology of Stem Cells, which includes a large variety of research areas within the focus of the NIGMS mission. At CSUMB, the Department of Biology and Chemistry will mentor the IRACDA students in lecture and laboratory classes and in research-focused classes designed predominantly for URM students. CSUMB and UCSC have longstanding partnerships, including research collaborations, summer research programs for CSUMB students at UCSC, postdoctoral teaching mentees at CSUMB, and regular seminar presentations by UCSC faculty at CSUMB. We anticipate that this IRACDA program will further stimulate exchange between CSUMB and UCSC to strengthen the overall exposure and opportunities for our students, postdoctoral scholars, and faculty.
