The Tufts IRACDA Program will serve the national need for university and college faculty trained in bio-medical research and optimally prepared for the multiple challenges faced by professors in their first independent position. To be successful, these individuals must set up and manage a productive research lab, obtain grant funding, and develop and deliver innovative science courses. They must understand the value of diversity in the scientific workforce and be able to inspire the next generations of scientists through the teaching and research opportunities they offer. Tufts IRACDA will address these challenges by providing exceptional postdoctoral scholars with the research portfolio and career skills needed to succeed in an academic research environment that includes mentoring of future biomedical researchers. To achieve our goals, we will partner with three local institutions: the University of Massachusetts, Boston, Pine Manor College and Bunker Hill Community College, all of which are committed to educating students from groups underrepresented in the biomedical research workforce. Our Tufts IRACDA program builds upon our successful TEACRS postdoctoral training program. With TEACRS, we developed valuable teaching and research collaborations with our partner faculty and students. Tufts IRACDA will utilize new initiatives to enhance the research and scholarship of our postdoctoral scholars and build upon our existing strengths in teaching and career development. These initiatives will broadly prepare our scholars for academic positions at the nation's top universities and colleges and increase the impact of Tufts connections at our partner schools. To do this, we will: • Recruit and prepare the nation's best postdoctoral scholars for successful careers in tenure-track, academic positions in the biomedical sciences by providing strong research training. • Prepare our scholars to create and deliver impactful science curricula to diverse student populations. • Foster research and mentoring partnerships that encourage undergraduates at our partner institutions to engage in independent research and pursue biomedical science careers. Tufts provides outstanding opportunities for research training in the traditional biomedical disciplines as well as areas such as biomedical engineering, nutrition, and behavioral sciences. Scholars will spend on average 75% of their time conducting research and 25% of their time in career development and teaching activities, including teaching. Similar training, along with comprehensive career mentoring, enabled us through TEACRS to place 88% (36/41) of our alumni in academic faculty positions well-suited to their career goals, a percentage markedly above the national IRACDA average of 73%. In the new Tufts IRACDA program, we will strengthen the training in research and research-related career skills such as grant and manuscript writing, so that we place scholars in a more balanced mix of research-intensive and primarily undergraduate institutions. We plan to support a total of nine scholars each year from IRACDA funds and three from institutional support.

Tufts IRACDA计划将满足接受生物医学培训的大学和大学教师的国家需求 研究并为教授在其第一个独立 位置。为了取得成功，这些人必须建立和管理产品研究实验室，获得赠款 资金，发展和提供创新的科学课程。他们必须了解多样性的价值 科学劳动力，能够通过教学激发下一代科学家 他们提供的研究机会。 Tufts Iracda将通过提供卓越来应对这些挑战 在学术研究中取得成功的研究组合和职业技能的博士后学者 环境包括对未来生物医学研究人员的心理。为了实现我们的目标，我们将合作 与三个当地机构：马萨诸塞大学，波士顿大学，派恩庄园学院和邦克山 社区学院，所有这些都致力于教育来自人数不足的学生 生物医学研究人员。我们的塔夫茨IRACDA计划建立在我们成功的Teacrs博士后 培训计划。使用TeaCRS，我们与合作伙伴建立了宝贵的教学和研究合作 教师和学生。 Tufts Iracda将利用新计划来增强我们的研究和科学 博士后学者并以我们在教学和职业发展中的现有优势为基础。这些 倡议将为我们的学者广泛准备在美国顶尖大学的学术职位 并增加簇簇连接对我们的合作学校的影响。为此，我们将： •招募和准备美国最好的博士后学者，以替代终身事业， 通过提供强大的研究培训，生物医学科学的学术职位。 •准备我们的学者为我们的学者创建和提供有影响力的科学课程。 •促进研究和心理伙伴关系，鼓励我们的合作伙伴机构本科生 从事独立研究并追求生物医学科学职业。 塔夫茨为传统生物医学学科的研究培训提供了出色的机会， 生物医学工程，营养和行为科学等领域。学者平均花费75％ 他们进行研究的时间以及他们在职业发展和教学活动中的25％的时间，包括 教学。类似的培训以及全面的职业心理，使我们通过TEACR进行了 我们在学术教职员工职位非常适合其职业目标的88％（36/41）（36/41） 明显高于全国IRACDA平均73％。在新的Tufts IRACDA计划中，我们将加强 在研究和研究相关的职业技能（例如赠款和手稿写作）方面的培训，以便我们 将学者置于研究密集型和初级本科机构的更加平衡的组合中。我们计划 每年从IRACDA基金和机构支持中提供三个学者。
