DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Seeding Postdoctoral Innovators in Research and Education (SPIRE) is an integrative postdoctoral fellowship program that combines research training, professional development and hands-on teaching experience. The program involves a partnership between the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and five Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) in North Carolina with large minority undergraduate populations, including Fayetteville State University, Johnson C. Smith University, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University and the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. The objective of this program is 1) to prepare individuals for research/academic careers in the biomedical sciences and 2) to have a continuing impact on the MSIs through the exchange that takes place as the postdoctoral scholars develop teaching expertise and share their knowledge in the sciences with the faculty and students at the MSIs. The proposal put forward here builds upon the past successes of the SPIRE program and lessons learned over the last eight years. Based on a thorough evaluation of the SPIRE program, the program proposes to continue to provide cutting-edge research training for SPIRE scholars by drawing upon a large core of faculty at UNC Chapel Hill. Taken together, these faculty members provide a broad spectrum of high quality research training opportunities within their laboratories and reveal a commitment to train scholars to think creatively, collaborate effectively and operate across disciplinary boundaries. The SPIRE program also proposes to provide pedagogical training for the scholars through a range of interactions such as, 1) instruction from the UNC Chapel Hill Center for Teaching and Learning and other education professionals, 2) technology workshops, and 3) creating opportunities for the scholars to practice active learning techniques and develop, individual advanced-level courses at the MSIs. Through these extensive teaching activities, the IRACDA scholars will introduce new, revised, and advanced courses at the MSIs and work closely with the undergraduates at these institutions, providing active learning experiences and close, individualized research mentoring. The SPIRE program also proposes to provide other professional development training in order to prepare scholars for careers that combine research and education. Professional development training includes numerous opportunities to make research presentations, to take part in the organization of an annual research symposium, and an annual distinguished scholar seminar, and attendance at monthly meetings with a professional focus. In addition, the scholars will receive training in grantsmanship through an in-house grant competition that requires each IRACDA scholar to prepare a research proposal and have it evaluated by a faculty committee. Taken together, these initiatives will provide the scholars with the skills required to function as independent researchers, research-oriented teachers and committed mentors for undergraduate students in the sciences. In the process, the MSIs will enjoy continued benefit through long-term modifications in curriculum and infrastructure. The diversity of the science community will be expanded by the enhanced interest in science careers among the undergraduate students at the MSIs who have been exposed to a vibrant, active learning experience.

描述（由申请人提供）：研究与教育的种子博士后创新者（SPIRE）是一项综合博士后奖学金计划，结合了研究培训，专业发展和动手教学经验。该计划涉及北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校与北卡罗来纳州的五个少数族裔服务机构（MSIS）与少数少数族裔本科生之间的合作关系，包括费耶特维尔州立大学，约翰逊·C·史密斯大学，北卡罗来纳州A＆t州立大学，北卡罗来纳州北卡罗来纳州北卡罗来纳大学和北卡罗莱纳大学北卡罗来纳大学北卡罗来纳大学。该计划的目的是1）为个人的生物医学科学研究/学术职业做好准备，以及2）通过随着博士后学者发展教学专业知识的交流，对MSIS持续影响MSI，并与MSIS的教师和学生分享他们的知识。在这里提出的提出的提议是建立在过去八年中尖顶计划的过去成功之中的。根据对Spire计划的彻底评估，该计划建议通过利用UNC Chapel Hill的大量教师来继续为尖顶学者提供尖端的研究培训。综上所述，这些教职员工在其实验室内提供了广泛的高质量研究培训机会，并揭示了培训学者们创造性地思考，有效合作和跨学科界限运作的承诺。 Spire计划还建议通过一系列互动，例如，1）UNC教堂山教学中心和其他教育专业人员的教学，2）技术研讨会，以及3）学者创造了积极的学习技术和发展积极的学习机会，从而为学者提供教学培训。通过这些广泛的教学活动，IRACDA学者将在MSIS上介绍新的，修订和高级课程，并与这些机构的本科生紧密合作，提供积极的学习经验并进行近距离，个性化的研究指导。 Spire计划还建议提供其他专业发展培训，以便为结合研究和教育的职业准备学者。专业发展培训包括许多机会进行研究演讲，参加年度研究研讨会的组织以及年度杰出学者研讨会，以及以专业重点的每月会议参加。此外，学者将通过内部赠款竞赛获得授予技巧的培训，该竞赛要求每个IRACDA学者准备一项研究建议并由教职员工委员会进行评估。综上所述，这些举措将为学者提供作为独立研究人员，面向研究的教师和科学本科生的认可的指导者所需的技能。在此过程中，MSI将通过长期修改课程和基础设施来持续利益。科学界的多样性将扩大到MSI的本科生对科学职业的兴趣的增强，他们接触到了充满活力，积极的学习经验。
