Abstract 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 2013 Census, 54.6% 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 four-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. Three years are funded by the IRACDA program, and one year by the research mentor sources or through other non- IRACDA sources. 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 University 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. In year one of the BETTR program, scholars will be immersed at Einstein establishing their research project in the laboratory of their research mentor. During the second year, scholars will take a pedagogy course and have a formal shadowing experience at both Hostos and Lehman. During the third and fourth years in the program, scholars will develop teaching skills at both of our partner institutions while developing curricula, and experimenting with different teaching strategies. 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.

抽象的 西班牙裔是美国人口中增长最快的部分 科学界的各个级别的代表性不足。根据2013年人口普查，54.6％ 布朗克斯人的人口中有西班牙裔，拉丁裔或西班牙血统。布朗克斯 - 因斯坦 教学和研究培训（BETTR）计划是一项四年的学者学者 计划，将独立研究的培训与创新教学的培训进行培训 技巧以及动手教学的经验和指导。三年资助 由IRACDA计划，研究导师来源或通过其他非非 - IRACDA来源。研究方法的传统培训将基于爱因斯坦，以及 指导的教学培训将在布朗克斯的两个邻近合作伙伴机构举行 每个西班牙裔服务，纽约市城市大学（CUNY）的一部分。我们的学者 将通过这两者的指导培训体验多样的教育经验 不同类型的本科机构：Hostos，两年的社区学院，以及 雷曼学院（Lehman College），一所四年的大本科学院。在BETTR计划的第一年， 学者将沉浸在爱因斯坦，在他们的实验室建立研究项目 研究导师。在第二年，学者将参加教学法，并有一个 Hostos和Lehman的正式阴影体验。在第三年和第四年 该计划，学者将在我们的两个合作伙伴机构中发展教学技能 开发课程，并尝试不同的教学策略。学者将努力 通过积极追求自己的研究项目来实现卓越的研究，呈现 科学会议和参加研究的研讨会，所有这些都在 提交职业发展赠款申请。学者将分享他们的研究 通过指导本科生，Hostos和Lehman的专业知识。并联， 预计学者将获得与少数学习风格保持一致的教学技能 城市环境中的人口。其他事件，例如Hostos和Lehman的研究日 以及所有三个机构的教师之间的研究合作，将提供研究 学生和教师的机会。 BETTR计划的目标是增强 与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， 因此，鼓励代表性不足的少数民族从事科学职业。
