DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goals of the Rochester Partnership to Advance Research and Academic Careers in Deaf Scholars are: a) to provide highly trained biomedical and behavioral scientists who are Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (D/HH) with the knowledge and skills to pursue research and teaching careers in academia; and b) to partner the faculty and programs of the University of Rochester (UR), including its National Center for Deaf Health Research (NCDHR) and Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI), with those of the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), including its National Technical Institute fo the Deaf (NTID), with the long term objective of promoting linkages between the partners and strengthening their excellence in research and education. The program has four specific aims: 1) To develop a mentored postdoctoral research experience for D/HH biomedical and behavioral PhD Scholars at the UR, a research-intensive institution. To do this, we will leverage the well-developed Mentor-Scholar Program established by the UR CTSI, to provide interdisciplinary team mentoring and to define and meet career development goals for each Scholar, as set forth in their Individual Development Plan. We will also take advantage of the CTSI's novel "Mentor the Mentor" Program, and will enhance this program to increase the D/HH cultural competency of UR faculty, and their ability to effectively mentor D/HH Scholars; 2) To establish career development activities at UR and a mentored practicum teaching experience at NTID/RIT to develop the academic and teaching skills of program Scholars, and to strengthen and expand educational offerings at RIT in the areas of biomedical and behavioral science; 3) To evaluate program success, by measuring the effectiveness of training in both research and teaching. This will include assessment of short-term objectives and acquired competencies related to teaching and research skills, knowledge and attitudes; and evaluation of long-term career development and academic performance outcomes related to teaching and research. We will also measure the impact of the program on: the diversity of science educational offerings at RIT; entry by D/HH students into biomedically-related and behavioral science majors and programs at RIT; research collaborations between RIT and UR; and 4) To recruit 3 Scholars from a national pool of D/HH persons with biomedical and behavioral doctorates for 3-year periods of training, for a steady state of 9 D/HH Scholars at any one time. This recruitment will build on prior experience of recruiting D/HH postdoctoral fellows to UR, NTID's leadership role in the national networks that promote postsecondary education and career development in D/HH students, and the global reputation of Rochester, NY as a center for D/HH culture and education. This innovative inter-institutional partnership is the first of its kind in the world an will begin to address the dearth of D/HH faculty at academic institutions serving both hearing and D/HH students. A long-term outcome will be the attraction of more D/HH Scholars into careers in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, fields in which D/HH persons are greatly under-represented.

描述（由申请人提供）：罗彻斯特合作促进聋哑学者的研究和学术生涯的总体目标是： a) 为聋哑和听力障碍 (D/HH) 的训练有素的生物医学和行为科学家提供在学术界从事研究和教学职业的知识和技能； b) 与罗彻斯特大学 (UR) 的教师和项目合作，包括其国家聋人健康研究中心 (NCDHR) 和临床与转化科学研究所 (CTSI) 以及罗彻斯特理工学院 (RIT) 的教师和项目，包括其国家聋人技术研究所（NTID），其长期目标是促进合作伙伴之间的联系并加强其在研究和教育方面的卓越表现。该计划有四个具体目标： 1) 为研究密集型机构 UR 的 D/HH 生物医学和行为博士学者提供指导的博士后研究经验。为此，我们将利用 UR CTSI 建立的完善的导师-学者计划，提供跨学科团队指导，并根据每位学者的个人发展计划中的规定，确定和实现职业发展目标。我们还将利用 CTSI 新颖的“导师导师”计划，加强该计划，以提高 UR 教师的 D/HH 文化能力，以及他们有效指导 D/HH 学者的能力； 2) 在UR建立职业发展活动，并在NTID/RIT建立指导性实习教学经验，以培养项目学者的学术和教学技能，并加强和扩大RIT在生物医学和行为科学领域的教育服务； 3) 通过衡量研究和教学培训的有效性来评估项目的成功。这将包括评估短期目标以及与教学和研究技能、知识和态度相关的所获得的能力；与教学和研究相关的长期职业发展和学业成绩成果的评估。我们还将衡量该计划对以下方面的影响： RIT 科学教育课程的多样性； D/HH 学生进入 RIT 的生物医学相关和行为科学专业和课程； RIT 和 UR 之间的研究合作； 4) 从全国拥有生物医学和行为学博士学位的 D/HH 人员库中招募 3 名学者进行为期 3 年的培训，以实现每次 9 名 D/HH 学者的稳定状态。此次招聘将基于之前为 UR 招募 D/HH 博士后研究员的经验、NTID 在促进 D/HH 学生高等教育和职业发展的国家网络中的领导作用，以及纽约州罗切斯特作为 D/HH 博士中心的全球声誉。 /HH 文化与教育。这种创新的机构间合作伙伴关系是世界上第一个此类合作伙伴关系，它将开始解决为听力学生和 D/HH 学生提供服务的学术机构中缺乏 D/HH 教师的问题。长期结果将是吸引更多 D/HH 学者进入生物医学和行为科学领域，而在这些领域，D/HH 学者的代表性严重不足。
