DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We seek continuation of the Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Award (IRACDA) program that builds on the established partnership between KU and Haskell Indian Nations University. The project has demonstrated success in training productive and employable scientists, including three American Indians, who serve as role models and mentors for current Haskell students in the sciences. IRACDA combines rigorous mentored research training at KU, a research intensive university, with the opportunity to develop teaching skills in a neighboring tribal college. The award will support a total of fifteen postdoctoral IRACDA scholars, each of whom will spend three to four years in a carefully designed program that includes research training activities, teaching, and targeted professional development. In Year 1, the scholars will begin their research projects in the mentors' laboratories, take a Responsible Conduct of Research course, participate in teaching workshops provided at KU, and become acquainted with the Haskell faculty and institutional culture. The most productive and successful KU faculty members from a wide range of biomedical disciplines will serve as research mentors for the fellows. In Year 2, each fellow will team-teach an introductory biology course during the fall and spring semesters, gaining experience in both lecture and laboratory instruction. The two semester sequence allows fellows to reflect on their teaching experiences during the first semester and make adjustments for improvement in the second semester. The proximity to Haskell also allows scholars to continue their research projects as they gain teaching and multi-tasking experience. Scholars will also team-teach a Research Methods and Techniques workshop that provides essential laboratory and research skills to Haskell students who plan to begin undergraduate research experiences in KU faculty research labs supported by the RISE or Bridge programs. In Year 3, the fellows will focus on their research, complete the development of an independent research project, and enroll in a grant writing program that will lead to the preparation of a competitive research proposal. An optional Year 4 supported by the institution will allow fellows to further develop their independent research projects and continue to seek employment. The PD of the project will oversee the research training, and the Co-D (KU Director of the Office for Diversity in Science Training) and Haskell PD (faculty member from the Math and Science department) will oversee the Haskell teaching experience by ensuring that appropriate mentoring, supervision, and evaluation occur. An external evaluator familiar with the MORE programs will conduct a formative and summative evaluation on an annual basis. In summary, this KU / Haskell IRACDA program exploits the unique collaborative framework 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. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The advancement of science and medicine depends on a well-trained workforce. This project will train future scientists in both research and teaching. Research training will occur at an intensive research university while the training in teaching wil occur at a tribal college thereby increasing the awareness and understanding of these scholars for the nation's increasingly diverse student population.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们寻求继续开展机构研究和学术职业发展奖 (IRACDA) 计划，该计划建立在 KU 和哈斯克尔印度民族大学之间已建立的合作伙伴关系的基础上。该项目在培养富有生产力和就业能力的科学家方面取得了成功，其中包括三名美国印第安人，他们为当前哈斯克尔科学学生提供了榜样和导师。 IRACDA 将 KU（一所研究密集型大学）严格的指导性研究培训与在邻近部落学院发展教学技能的机会结合起来。该奖项将支持总共 15 名 IRACDA 博士后学者，他们每人都将在精心设计的项目中度过三到四年的时间，其中包括研究培训活动、教学和有针对性的专业发展。在第一年，学者们将在导师的实验室开始他们的研究项目，参加负责任的研究行为课程，参加 KU 提供的教学研讨会，并熟悉 Haskell 教师和机构文化。来自广泛生物医学学科的最有生产力和最成功的堪萨斯大学教职人员将担任研究员的研究导师。在第二年，每位研究员将在秋季和春季学期团队教授一门生物学入门课程，获得讲座和实验室教学的经验。两个学期的顺序让学员能够反思第一学期的教学经验，并在第二学期做出调整以改进。靠近 Haskell 还允许学者们在获得教学和多任务经验的同时继续他们的研究项目。学者们还将团队授课一个研究方法和技术研讨会，为计划在 RISE 或 Bridge 项目支持的 KU 教员研究实验室开始本科研究经验的 Haskell 学生提供必要的实验室和研究技能。在第三年，研究员将专注于他们的研究，完成独立研究项目的开发，并参加一项资助写作计划，该计划将导致准备一份有竞争力的研究提案。由该机构支持的可选四年级课程将使研究员能够进一步发展他们的独立研究项目并继续寻找就业机会。该项目的 PD 将监督研究培训，Co-D（KU 科学培训多样性办公室主任）和 Haskell PD（数学和科学系的教员）将监督 Haskell 的教学经验，确保进行适当的指导、监督和评估。熟悉 MORE 计划的外部评估员将每年进行形成性和总结性评估。总之，KU / Haskell IRACDA 项目利用部落学院和研究密集型大学之间建立的独特合作框架来培养新型科学家，使其能够应对日益增长的种族、文化和社会多样性21世纪。 公共卫生相关性：科学和医学的进步取决于训练有素的劳动力。该项目将在研究和教学方面培训未来的科学家。研究培训将在密集研究型大学进行，而教学培训将在部落学院进行，从而提高这些学者对国家日益多样化的学生群体的认识和理解。
