DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal seeks to continue the successful IRACDA Scholars in Science (ISIS) Postdoctoral Program between the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) as the research-extensive campus and San Francisco State University (SFSU) as the partner institution with a large population of students who are underrepresented (UR) in the sciences. The primary goals of the ISIS Program are: 1) To prepare UR postdoctoral scholars to obtain, and succeed in, competitive faculty positions at excellent academic institutions; and 2) To enable ISIS Scholars to positively impact SFSU by helping develop a research-oriented science curriculum, serving as role models to SFSU undergraduate science students, and promoting research collaborations between UCSF and SFSU faculty. The ISIS Program prepares postdoctoral scholars for academic research and teaching careers through a series of focused activities that develop high-quality research, teaching, and professional skills. To accomplish these goals, the ISIS Program has four specific aims: 1) Provide an extensive mentored-research experience at UCSF so that ISIS postdocs conduct cutting-edge biomedical and behavioral research and publish in high quality journals; 2) Develop an intensive mentored-teaching experience at SFSU, while contributing notably to a research-oriented science curriculum at SFSU. The ISIS Scholars will refine their teaching skills, serve as role models for undergraduates at SFSU, and engage in research-related instruction; 3) Provide career-development opportunities such as learning to write successful grants, and learning to manage a research laboratory in an inclusive and ethical manner, in order to enhance their skills and preparation for an academic career; and 4) Broaden the Impact of the ISIS Program on SFSU Students and Research Infrastructure. Relevance of this program to public health: In order for our Nation to improve its technical and scientific competitiveness, efforts must be made to increase the number of participating scientists and engineers from under-represented groups. This requires a long educational pathway. The IRACDA Scholars in Science Postdoctoral Program addresses two parts of that pathway; inspiring undergraduates to enter a scientific research career, and preparing postdoctoral scholars for faculty careers where they will be able to address the Nation's biomedical, behavioral and clinical research priorities. Developing this potential will ultimately improve our national competitiveness and prosperity.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案旨在继续在加利福尼亚大学旧金山分校（UCSF）之间取得成功的IRACDA科学学者（ISIS）博士后计划，作为研究扩展的校园和旧金山州立大学（SFSU），作为合作伙伴机构，他们的人口很大，他们是人口不足的学生（UR）。 ISIS计划的主要目标是：1）为您的博士后学者做好准备，并在优秀的学术机构获得竞争性的教师职位； 2）使ISIS学者通过帮助开发以研究为导向的科学课程，作为SFSU本科科学专业学生的榜样，并促进UCSF和SFSU教职员工之间的研究合作，从而使ISIS学者能够积极影响SFSU。 ISIS计划通过一系列专注的活动为学术研究和教学职业准备了博士后学者，以发展高质量的研究，教学和专业技能。 为了实现这些目标，ISIS计划具有四个具体的目标：1）在UCSF提供广泛的研究经验，以便ISIS PostDocs进行尖端的生物医学和行为研究，并在高质量的期刊上发表； 2）在SFSU开发一项密集的教学经验，同时特别为SFSU的以研究为导向的科学课程做出了贡献。 ISIS学者将完善他们的教学技巧，作为SFSU本科生的榜样，并从事与研究相关的教学； 3）提供职业发展的机会，例如学习撰写成功的赠款，并以包容性和道德方式学习研究实验室，以增强他们的技能和学术职业的准备； 4）扩大ISIS计划对SFSU学生和研究基础设施的影响。 该计划与公共卫生的相关性：为了使我们的国家提高其技术和科学竞争力，必须努力增加代表性不足的群体的参与科学家和工程师的数量。这需要长期的教育途径。科学博士后计划的IRACDA学者介绍了该途径的两个部分。激发大学生进入科学研究事业，并为教师职业准备博士后学者，在那里他们能够解决该国的生物医学，行为和临床研究的重点。发展这一潜力最终将改善我们的民族竞争力和繁荣。
