DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application for an Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Award (IRACDA) addresses two related problems: The inadequate representation of underrepresented minorities (URM's) in biomedical science research and the lack of developmental programs to prepare university-trained Ph.D. scientists for careers as scientist educators in undergraduate colleges. To address these problems, we propose to create a Biomedical Science Education Postdoctoral Training Program at University of Medicine & Dentistry of NJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (UMDNJ-RWJMS), which will train postdoctoral fellows to be researchers and educators, and will give them the opportunity to teach and mentor undergraduate trainees at 3 nearby Minority Serving Institutions (MSI's): New Jersey City University, Long Island University -Brooklyn Campus and Medgar Evers College of the City University of NY. The proposal has two Specific Aims: 1) To prepare recent Ph.D. recipients for careers as educators and biomedical scientists, and 2) To increase the interest of undergraduates at the 3 MSI partner schools in careers in the biomedical sciences. The proposed program will be a structured 3-year postdoctoral training program for 5 trainees per year, i.e., reaching a total of 15 in years 3-5. The trainees will participate in mentored research in NIH-funded laboratories, a structured career development program, and a mentored teaching and course development program at a partner MSI. The mentoring faculty at each MSI will work closely with the postdoctoral trainees and the faculty at UMDNJ-RWJMS. Interaction of MSI faculty with faculty at a research-intensive university and active participation of the postdoctoral trainees in teaching and mentoring students will enhance the students' scientific development and awareness of scientific career pathways. This program will be evaluated by increased entry and retention of MSI students into STEM majors, increased student application and entry into mentored undergraduate research programs, and increased interest in research careers, as measured by taking the GRE and applying to and entering graduate education; increased entry of RWJMS trainees into education/ research careers will also be evaluated. RELEVANCE (See instructions): This proposal is to establish a Biomedical Science Education Postdoctoral Training Program at University of Medicine & Dentistry of NJ-JW Johnson Medical School. This program will prepare recent Ph.D. recipients for careers as educator/scientists at undergraduate colleges, and will increase the entry of underrepresented minority students at 3 partner Minority Serving Institutions into research careers.

描述（由申请人提供）：本机构研究和学术职业发展奖（IRACDA）的申请解决了两个相关问题：在生物医学科学研究中代表不足的少数民族（URM'S）不足，并且缺乏为大学培训的博士准备准备的发展计划。职业科学家是本科学院的科学家教育者。 To address these problems, we propose to create a Biomedical Science Education Postdoctoral Training Program at University of Medicine & Dentistry of NJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (UMDNJ-RWJMS), which will tr​​ain postdoctoral fellows to be researchers and educators, and will give them the opportunity to teach and mentor undergraduate trainees at 3 nearby Minority Serving Institutions (MSI's): New Jersey City University, Long Island University - 布鲁克林校园和纽约市城市大学的梅德加·埃弗斯学院。该提案有两个具体的目标：1）准备最近的博士学位。作为教育工作者和生物医学科学家的职业的接受者，以及2）在生物医学科学的3个MSI合作伙伴学校中增加本科生的兴趣。拟议的计划将是一项结构化的3年后博士后培训计划，每年为5名学员，即3 - 5年内达到15个学员。受训人员将参加由NIH资助的实验室，结构化的职业发展计划以及合作伙伴MSI的指导教学和课程发展计划的指导研究。每个MSI的指导教师将与umdnj-rwjms的博士后学员和教师紧密合作。 MSI教师与一所研究密集大学的教师的互动以及博士后学员的积极参与教学和指导学生，将增强学生对科学职业途径的科学发展和认识。该计划将通过增加和保留MSI学生进入STEM专业，增加学生的应用并进入指导的本科研究计划，并增加对研究职业的兴趣来评估该计划，这是通过接受GRE并申请并申请并进入研究生教育的；还将评估RWJMS学员进入教育/研究职业的增加。 相关性（请参阅说明）：该建议是在NJ-JW Johnson医学院的医学与牙科学院建立生物医学教育博士后培训计划。该课程将准备最近的博士学位。作为本科学院的教育工作者/科学家职业的接受者，将增加代表性不足的少数民族学生的3个伴侣少数民族服务机构从事研究职业。
