DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Diversity is highly significant to our nation's future health, educational, scientific and research enterprise, yet, diversity in the biomedical and scientific workforce does not reflect the U.S. population. SPIRE (Seeding Postdoctoral Innovators in Research and Education) has established itself as an innovative postdoctoral research and career development training program whose goals are aligned with those of IRACDA: 1) to inspire and motivate undergraduate students from underrepresented groups to engage in science-based course content, research, and to pursue graduate degrees in science while 2) providing training in research, teaching, and career development that promotes success of scholars in their own career goals. The underlying hypothesis of SPIRE is that faculty who combine excellence in research and teaching, and value the importance of mentoring and diversity, will effectively train the next generation of scientists and promote diversity in the scientific workforce. In response to SPIRE's ongoing evaluation, the current proposal maintains many successful components while also introducing several innovations to benefit our partner universities and our scholars. This proposal will support 30 new scholars over the duration of 5 years and partner with four universities, each with an historical commitment to train students from underrepresented groups. Specific Aims of the SPIRE program are to: 1. Recruit outstanding and diverse SPIRE scholars who represent the scientific mission of NIGMS and the education and research needs of our partner campuses. 2. Provide an outstanding research training experience by placing scholars in productive laboratories with mentors committed to the goals of SPIRE and ensuring that this research experience involves mentoring of undergraduates from our partner campuses. 3. Provide a mentored teaching experience at our partner campuses. This experience includes research-based courses and direct involvement with research initiatives at our partner campuses. 4. Provide training in professional skills that match the needs of our scholars and promote their success in attaining future positions in academia. Innovations in this proposed renewal include a) a new emphasis on recruiting SPIRE scholars with chemistry, physics and biomedical engineering backgrounds to meet the needs of our partner campuses; b) structured involvement with RISE and MARC programs at our partner campuses, including a summer research program at UNC/Chapel Hill for undergraduates from our partner campuses, c) new evaluation measures to track more effectively undergraduate student outcomes and d) mechanisms to facilitate the sharing of data and effective teaching strategies among current and former SPIRE scholars and faculty at our partner campuses. Impact: We aim to continue and enhance our documented and significant impact on the curriculum and research enterprise of our partner universities, and on the training of new faculty who are successful in research and science education as well as in promoting the diversity of our future scientific workforce.

描述（由申请人提供）：多样性对我们国家的未来健康，教育，科学和研究企业非常重要，但是生物医学和科学劳动力的多样性并不反映美国人口。尖顶（研究和教育中的播种博士后创新者）已将自己确立为创新的博士后研究和职业发展培训计划，其目标与IRACDA的目标保持一致：1）激励和激励从代表性的小组中的学生来促进基于科学的研究，并从事研究培训，并在研究中培养研究，并在研究中从事研究，并在研究中促进研究，并从事研究，从事研究，并从事研究，从事培训，并在研究中培养了2次研究，以实现2），以实现研究，以实现研究，并在研究方面进行研究，以实现研究，以实现研究，以实现研究，并在研究中培养了研究，以至于在研究方面，以培训为生，并在研究中培养了研究，并从事培养工作，并从事培养工作，以实现研究，并从事培训，以实现研究，以促进研究，并在研究中培养了培训。自己的职业目标。尖顶的基本假设是，结合了研究和教学卓越的教师，并重视指导和多样性的重要性，将有效地培训下一代科学家并促进科学劳动力的多样性。为了回应Spire的持续评估，当前的提案保持了许多成功的组成部分，同时还引入了几项创新，以使我们的合伙大学和学者受益。该建议将在5年的时间内支持30个新学者，并与四所大学合作，每所大学都致力于培训来自代表性不足的群体的学生。 Spire计划的具体目标是：1。招募杰出和多样化的尖峰学者，这些学者代表了Nigms的科学任务以及我们合作伙伴校园的教育和研究需求。 2.通过将学者安置在生产实验室中的学者，并致力于实现尖顶目标的导师，并确保这项研究经验涉及指导我们合作伙伴校园的大学生。 3。在我们的合作伙伴校园提供指导的教学经验。这种经验包括基于研究的课程以及直接参与我们合作伙伴校园的研究计划。 4.提供适合我们学者需求的专业技能培训，并促进他们在获得学术界未来职位方面的成功。拟议续签的创新包括a）新的重点是招募具有化学，物理和生物医学工程背景的尖刺学者，以满足我们合作伙伴校园的需求； b）在我们的合作伙伴校园内与RISE和MARC计划的结构化参与，包括在我们的合作伙伴校园的UNC/Chapel Hill的夏季研究计划，c）采取新的评估措施，以更有效地跟踪学生成果的更有效的本科生，d）d）促进当前和前尖顶和前一名Spire Scholars和Actercult Camps的数据和有效的教学策略的机制。影响：我们旨在继续并增强对合作伙伴大学的课程和研究企业的记录和重大影响，以及在研究和科学教育方面以及促进我们未来科学劳动力的多样性方面的新教师的培训。
