ABSTRACT Our goal is to continue a career-development program at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) termed IRACDA at UCLA, for transitioning diverse postdoctoral scholars into university-level academic positions. This interdisciplinary program will train new Ph.D. level scholars in research through UCLA's high-quality, discipline- specific programs, and in career development through stage-specific workshops. In parallel, scholars will be trained in inclusive, active learning pedagogy, and assessment by UCLA's “Center for Education Innovation and Learning in the Sciences” (CEILS), the national "Center for Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning" (CIRTL), and UCLA's Summer Institute (SI). An accompanying two-stage mentored teaching experience, termed practicums 1 and 2, will occur at our partner institution, California State University, Los Angeles (Cal State LA), which comprises >70% URMs in STEM majors. Our scholars will teach introductory and advanced biology, and biochemistry courses with their mentors, while introducing novel pedagogical approaches based on CIRTL's Teaching as Research (TAR) core mission. The scholars will also team-teach their own course, BIOL4540, which will train Cal State LA undergraduates to read, present and critique the primary literature. UCLA's Center for Educational Assessment (CEA) will formatively evaluate the program annually. CEA along with assessment performed at Cal State LA, will improve the scholars' teaching skills, and course content, benefiting our partner institution. A steady state of nine IRACDA-funded scholars are necessary to form an effective cohort and learning community to impact Cal State LA's courses. UCLA's research training faculty includes fifty-two outstanding scientists chosen for their diversity, and their records of leadership, scholarship, and mentoring. The training faculty cover a breadth of NIGMS-relevant research topics and participate in outstanding science that will allow scholars to obtain advanced research training using state of the art facilities. Recent Ph.Ds. with excellent research credentials and a commitment to teaching will be actively recruited. Stipend support in the first year of research will be from the research mentors, while the following three years will be from IRACDA. After a year of intense research, teaching will be interwoven into the program. A key aspect of the mentored teaching experience will be development of a TAR project during a limited practicum 1, where the scholars shadow their teaching mentor and teach four lectures. The TAR project will be refined in UCLA's SI between the scholars' first and second years of IRACDA funding, and implemented during Practicum 2, where the scholars will teach half of the mentors' classes. The last IRACDA-funded year will focus on research, paper-writing, job preparation, and completing requirements for CIRTL Scholar-level certification. The broad-based administrative support for IRACDA at UCLA assures a commitment at UCLA and Cal State LA to the development of a new generation of highly effective faculty trained in pedagogy that enhances URM retention in the major, and transition to both graduate schools and the workforce.

抽象的 我们的目标是继续在加州大学洛杉矶分校 (UCLA) 开展职业发展计划，称为 加州大学洛杉矶分校的 IRACDA，致力于将不同的博士后学者转变为大学级别的学术职位。 跨学科项目将通过加州大学洛杉矶分校的高质量学科培养新的博士级学者。 同时，学者们还将通过特定阶段的研讨会进行职业发展。 接受加州大学洛杉矶分校“教育创新与评估中心”的包容性、主动学习教学法和评估培训 Learning in the Sciences”（CEILS），国家“研究、教学和学习一体化中心” (CIRTL) 和加州大学洛杉矶分校暑期学院 (SI) 附带的两阶段指导教学经验，称为 实践 1 和 2 将在我们的合作机构加州州立大学洛杉矶分校 (Cal State LA) 进行， 其中超过 70% 的 URM 是 STEM 专业的，我们的学者将教授入门和高级生物学，以及 与导师一起学习生物化学课程，同时介绍基于 CIRTL 的新颖教学方法 教学即研究 (TAR) 的核心任务是，学者们还将团队教授他们自己的课程 BIOL4540。 将培训加州州立大学洛杉矶分校的本科生阅读、展示和评论加州大学洛杉矶分校中心的主要文献。 教育评估 (CEA) 每年都会对课程进行形成性评估以及评估。 在加州州立大学洛杉矶分校进行，将提高学者的教学技能和课程内容，使我们的合作伙伴受益 九名 IRACDA 资助的学者的稳定状态对于形成有效的群体和学习是必要的。 社区影响加州州立大学洛杉矶分校的课程。 加州大学洛杉矶分校的研究培训教师包括五十二名因其多样性而被选中的杰出科学家， 他们的领导力、学术成就和指导记录涵盖了 NIGMS 相关的各个方面。 研究课题并参与杰出的科学，这将使学者获得先进的研究 使用最先进的设施进行培训，具有出色的研究资格和承诺。 研究导师将积极招募研究第一年的津贴支持， 接下来的三年将由 IRACDA 进行，经过一年的紧张研究，教学将交织在一起。 指导教学经验的一个关键方面将是在期间开发 TAR 项目。 有限的实习 1，学者们跟随他们的教学导师并教授 TAR 项目的四场讲座。 将在学者们获得 IRACDA 资助的第一年和第二年之间在 UCLA 的 SI 中进行完善，并实施 在实习 2 期间，学者们将教授一半的导师课程，最后一年由 IRACDA 资助。 专注于研究、论文写作、工作准备以及完成 CIRTL 学者级别的要求 加州大学洛杉矶分校对 IRACDA 的广泛行政支持确保了加州大学洛杉矶分校的承诺。 和加州州立大学洛杉矶分校致力于培养受过教育学培训的新一代高效教师 提高 URM 在该专业的保留率，以及向研究生院和劳动力市场的过渡。
