DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Hispanics are the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population and yet they are underrepresented at all levels in the scientific community. According to the 2010 Census, 53.5% of the population of the Bronx was of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin. The Bronx-Einstein Training in Teaching and Research (BETTR) program is a three-year post-doctoral scholars program, which couples training in independent research with training in innovative teaching techniques and the experience in and guidance for hands-on teaching. Traditional training in research methodologies will be based at Einstein, and mentored teaching training will take place at two neighboring partner institutions in the Bronx, each Hispanic-serving and both part of the City of New York (CUNY). Our scholars will experience a diverse educational experience through mentored training at these two different types of undergraduate institutions: Hostos, a two year Community College, and Lehman College, a large four-year undergraduate college. Prior to matriculation in the BETTR program, scholars will spend a year at Einstein immersed in establishing their research project. During the first year in the program (second year in postdoctoral training), scholars will additionally choose a teaching mentor and develop teaching skills at both of our partner institutions while developing curricula, participating in pedagogy workshops and experimenting with different teaching strategies, such as co-teaching and peer- led teaching. During the second year, scholars will develop a course in collaboration with their mentors, which they will teach during the third year. Scholars will work to achieve research excellence by actively pursuing their own research projects, presenting at scientific conferences, and attending research-focused workshops, all of which culminate in the submission of a career development grant application. Scholars will share their research expertise at Hostos and Lehman through mentoring undergraduate students. In parallel, scholars are expected to gain teaching skills aligned with the learning styles of minority populations at urban settings. Additional events, such as Research Days at Hostos and Lehman and research collaborations among the faculty at all three institutions, will provide research opportunities for both students and faculty. The goals of the BETTR program are to enhance the research collaboration culture with our partner institutions, enable our partners to revitalize their science curricula, provide our scholars with experience and expertise as scientist/educators, and, thereby, encourage underrepresented minorities to pursue science careers.

描述（由申请人提供）：西班牙裔是美国人口中增长最快的部分，但在科学界的各个层面中的代表性不足。根据2010年的人口普查，布朗克斯人口中有53.5％是西班牙裔，拉丁裔或西班牙血统。布朗克斯 - 因斯坦教学与研究培训（BETTR）计划是一项三年的博士后学者计划，该计划将独立研究的培训与创新教学技术的培训以及动手教学的经验和指导。研究方法的传统培训将在爱因斯坦举行，指导的教学培训将在布朗克斯的两个邻近合作伙伴机构进行，每个西班牙裔服务以及纽约市的一部分（CUNY）。我们的学者将通过在这两种不同类型的本科机构的指导培训中体验多种教育经验：Hostos，两年社区学院和雷曼学院（Lehman College），这是一所大型四年的本科学院。在进行BETTR计划的入学之前，学者将在Einstein度过一年，沉浸在建立他们的研究项目中。在该计划的第一年（在博士后培训中的第二年），学者还将在我们的两个合作伙伴机构中选择教学导师并发展教学技能，同时开发课程，参加教育学研讨会并尝试不同的教学策略，例如共同教学和同行教学。在第二年，学者将与他们的导师合作开发一门课程，他们将在第三年教书。学者将通过积极追求自己的研究项目，在科学会议上展示并参加以研究为重点的研讨会来实现卓越的研究，所有这些都在提交职业发展赠款申请中达到了最终。学者将通过指导本科生在Hostos和Lehman分享他们的研究专业知识。同时，预计学者将获得与城市环境中少数群体学习方式保持一致的教学技能。其他三个机构的教师之间的其他活动，例如在Hostos和Lehman的研究日以及研究合作，将为学生和教职员工提供研究机会。 BETTR计划的目标是增强与我们的合作伙伴机构的研究合作文化，使我们的合作伙伴能够振兴他们的科学课程，为我们的学者提供科学家/教育工作者的经验和专业知识，从而鼓励代表性不足的少数群体从事科学科学职业。
