DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests continuation of the PERT program (Postdoctoral Excellence in Research and Teaching) based on its programmatic goals, demonstrable achievements, and planned refinements. PERT aims to increase participation of members of underrepresented minority groups in careers in biomedicine, biotechnology, and the life sciences. A partnership between a Research I University, the University of Arizona (UA), and a Minority Serving Institution, Pima Community College (PCC), PERT trains young postdoctoral scientists, many of whom are underrepresented minorities, for tenure-track careers in the life sciences. The 3-year training combines independent research under the mentorship of a UA faculty member, classroom teaching at PCC under the mentorship of a PCC faculty member, and the recruitment of PCC students to work on the trainee's research and under the trainee's mentorship in a university setting. Postdoctoral trainees spend one semester auditing a PCC course and the following semester teaching it under the supervision of the PCC instructor. The life sciences curriculum at PCC has benefited from the infusion of expertise brought by the postdoctoral trainees to their classroom teaching, the new courses developed by trainees with PCC faculty, modern laboratory equipment provided by the PERT program, and the career development of the PCC faculty. The minority students receive research-oriented classes with updated content at PCC and gain hands-on experience doing research in a university environment under the tutelage of a role model. The confidence they gain from a successful experience facilitates their transfer to the university to pursue a degree in the life sciences. Hence this program benefits not only the postdoctoral trainee, but also every level that the trainee comes into contact with - the host laboratory and research mentor; the faculty and students of the community college, and the trainee's future employer. PERT provides skilled, well-prepared individuals for the workforce at the same time increasing the diversity of talent in that workforce.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案要求基于其程序化目标，可证明的成就和计划的改进来延续PERT计划（研究和教学的卓越卓越）。 PERT旨在增加代表性不足的少数群体成员在生物医学，生物技术和生命科学领域的职业。 Pert训练I大学，亚利桑那大学（UA）（UA）（UA）的研究，PIMA社区学院（PCC）之间的合作伙伴关系，培训年轻的博士后科学家，其中许多人是代表性不足的少数群体，即生活科学中的终身旅行者。这项为期3年的培训结合了UA教职员工的指导，在PCC教职员工的指导下在PCC的课堂教学以及PCC学生的招聘工作中的独立研究结合在一起，以在学员的研究和学员在大学环境中的指导下进行招聘。博士后学员花了一个学期审核PCC课程，然后在接下来的学期在PCC教练的监督下教授它。 PCC的生命科学课程受益于博士后学员对他们的课堂教学的注入专业知识，由PCC教师开发的新课程，PERT计划提供的现代实验室设备以及PCC教师的职业发展。少数族裔学生在PCC上接受了面向研究的课程，并在榜样的指导下获得了在大学环境中进行研究的实践经验。他们从成功的经验中获得的信心促进了他们转移到大学，以攻读生命科学学位。因此，该计划不仅使博士后学员受益，而且对学员接触的每个级别也受益 - 主持人实验室和研究导师；社区学院的教职员工和学员的未来雇主。佩尔特（Pert）为劳动力提供熟练的，准备好的个人，同时增加了该劳动力中人才的多样性。
