DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Kansas (KU), in partnership with Haskell Indian Nations University, seeks continuation of the Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Award (IRACDA). The program combines carefully mentored research training at KU, a research intensive university, with the opportunity for inspiring faculty with a strong interest in working with minority students to develop teaching skills in a very unique minority-serving institution, i.e. a tribal college. The award will support a total of ten postdoctoral IRACDA scholars, each of whom will spend three years in a carefully designed program that includes three major training activities. Applicants admitted to the program will select a research mentor with expertise in the scholar's discipline. In Year 1, the scholars begin their research projects in the mentors' laboratories, take a course in Responsible Conduct of Research, participate in teaching workshops provided at KU, and are introduced to the Haskell faculty and the culture of the institution. The most productive and successful KU faculty members across a wide range of biomedical disciplines will serve as research mentors for the scholars. In the first semester of Year 2, each scholar will team-teach two sections of introductory biology under the guidance of a Haskell faculty member and, in the second semester, the scholar will teach an upper level class or seminar in his/her specialty area. The scholars will also continue to work on their research projects as they gain teaching and multi-tasking experience. In Year 3, scholars focus on their research and enroll in a 15 week Grant Writing Program leading to the preparation of a complete proposal. The PI will oversee the quality of the scholars' research experience at KU. The Co-l, KU's Director of the Office for Diversity in Science Training, will work closely with the Dean of Math and Science at Haskell, who will oversee the Haskell teaching experience, to ensure that the systematic teaching enhancement and mentoring activities at KU are well coordinated with the teaching experience. The involvement of the Dean will assure that the scholars become aware of the specific cultural needs of American Indian students. An external evaluator familiar with the MORE programs has been contracted to conduct both formative and summative evaluation on an annual basis. In summary, this KU / Haskell IRACDA program exploits the unique collaborative network that has been established between a tribal college and a research intensive university to train a new type of scientist, one that is equipped to handle the growing ethnic, cultural and social diversity of the 21st century.

描述（由申请人提供）：堪萨斯大学（KU）与Haskell Indian Nations University合作，寻求延续机构研究和学术职业发展奖（IRACDA）。该计划结合了研究强化大学KU的精心指导的研究培训，并有机会激发有兴趣与少数族裔学生一起工作的教师，以在非常独特的少数派服务机构（即部落学院）中发展教学技能。该奖项将支持十个博士后IRACDA学者，每个学者将在一个精心设计的计划中花费三年的时间，其中包括三项主要的培训活动。接受该计划的申请人将在学者的学科中选择具有专业知识的研究导师。在第一年，学者们在导师的实验室开始了他们的研究项目，参加了负责任的研究课程，参加KU提供的教学研讨会，并被介绍给Haskell教职员工和该机构的文化。在广泛的生物医学学科中，富有生产力，最成功的KU教职员工将成为学者的研究导师。在第二年的第一学期中，每个学者将在Haskell教职员工的指导下进行团队教学的两个介绍性生物学部分，并在第二学期中，该学者将在其专业领域教上高层课程或研讨会。学者们还将在获得教学和多任任务经验的同时继续从事他们的研究项目。在第3年，学者专注于他们的研究，并参加了15周的赠款写作计划，从而准备了一项完整的建议。 PI将监督KU学者研究经验的质量。 KU科学培训多样性办公室主任Co-L将与Haskell的数学和科学院长紧密合作，Haskell将监督Haskell教学经验，以确保KU的系统性教学增强和指导活动与教学经验很好地协调。院长的参与将确保学者们意识到美洲印第安学生的特定文化需求。 一位熟悉更多计划的外部评估者每年都签订了同时进行形成性和总结性评估。总而言之，该KU / HASKELL IRACDA计划利用了一个独特的合作网络，该网络是在部落学院和一所研究密集大学之间建立的，用于培训一种新型的科学家，该科学家有能力处理21世纪不断增长的种族，文化和社会多样性。
