DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA), St. Mary's University (StMU), and Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) have developed the San Antonio Biomedical Education and Research (SABER) program. This 4-year postdoctoral program combines mentored training in state-of-the-art research with innovative pedagogic teaching methods and guided teaching experiences. UTHSCSA is the only Tier-One research university in South Texas, has a strong culture of educational excellence, and has alumni who are in faculty positions at local institutions that predominantly serve Hispanic undergraduate students. This educational milestone reflects the unique training environment at UTHSCSA, which promotes faculty and trainee sensitivity to the needs of a rapidly growing population of Hispanic students. UTHSCSA, StMU, and OLLU are Hispanic-Serving Institutions, a direct reflection of the regional population, i.e., San Antonio is the 7th largest city in the United States and has the largest Hispanic population in a Hispanic-majority city. Although Hispanics accounted for half of the country's growth in the last decade and college enrollment of Hispanics is at an all-time high, Hispanics are underrepresented at all levels of the scientific community. SABER will train exceptional postdoctoral researchers/teachers and will directly address the gap between aspirations and achievements of Hispanic students while increasing interest in careers in biomedical research among undergraduates. Based on our proven methods for training highly successful postdoctoral scholars in research/teaching, we propose to capitalize on our experiences to achieve the goals of IRACDA (Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Awards). Pedagogic training will include workshops organized by our collaborator, Trinity University, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI)-awarded undergraduate research and teaching institution. Moreover, the efficiency gained in formalizing SABER will be leveraged and made available to all postdoctoral trainees. The SABER program will accomplish the following Objectives: 1) To recruit and provide exemplary research training for a diverse and accomplished pool of postdoctoral Scholars with uncompromised research productivity and experience with model organisms/systems amenable to the challenges of research and science education. 2) To create Teaching Scholars who are conversant in contemporary biomedical research, committed to high-quality undergraduate education and who serve as role models and guides for life-long learning. 3) To formalize collaborative educational and science research training among Partner Institutions. Successful completion of these objectives will develop exceptional SABER Scholars and significantly benefit all participating institutions. The science curricula of StMU and OLLU will be infused with the latest advances in science. Additionally, scientific exchanges between all institutions will be increased to foster new collaborations and to sustain enhancements in the collective biomedical research environment in our region.

描述（由申请人提供）：圣安东尼奥大学（UTHSCSA），圣玛丽大学（STMU）和湖大学（OLLU）圣安东尼奥大学（OLLU）开发了圣安东尼奥生物医学教育与研究（SABER）计划。这个为期四年的博士后计划将最先进研究的指导培训与创新的教学教学方法和指导的教学经验相结合。 UTHSCSA是南德克萨斯州唯一一所一级的研究大学，具有强烈的教育文化，并且有校友在当地机构担任教职，主要为西班牙裔本科生服务。这个教育的里程碑反映了UTHSCSA的独特培训环境，该培训环境促进了教师和受训者的敏感性，对快速增长的西班牙裔学生的需求。 UTHSCSA，STMU和OLLU是西班牙裔服务机构，直接反映了地区人口，即圣安东尼奥是 美国第七大城市，是西班牙裔多数城市中最大的西班牙裔人口。尽管西班牙裔在过去十年中占该国增长的一半，而西班牙裔大学的大学入学率是历史最高的，但西班牙裔在科学界的各个层面上的人数不足。 Saber将培训出色的博士后研究人员/教师，并将直接解决西班牙裔学生的愿望和成就之间的差距，同时增加对本科生生物医学研究的职业兴趣。基于我们经过验证的研究/教学培训非常成功的博士后学者的方法，我们建议利用我们的经验，以实现IRACDA的目标（机构研究和学术职业发展奖）。教学培训将包括由我们的合作伙伴Trinity University，Howard Hughes医学研究所（HHMI）的合作伙伴组织的研讨会。此外，将利用正式的军刀上获得的效率，并提供给所有博士后学员。 SABER计划将实现以下目标：1）招募并提供典范的研究培训，以针对具有毫不妥协的研究生产力和与模型生物体/系统的经验相比，为研究和科学教育的挑战所带来的模型生物体/系统的经验，为多样化且有成就的博士后学者库提供了典范的研究培训。 2）创建在当代生物医学研究中熟悉的教学学者，致力于高质量的本科教育，并作为终身学习的榜样和指南。 3）在合作伙伴机构之间正式化合作教育和科学研究培训。这些目标的成功完成将发展出杰出的佩剑学者，并显着使所有参与机构受益。 STMU和OLU的科学课程将注入科学方面的最新进展。此外，所有人之间的科学交流 机构将增加以促进新的合作，并在我们地区的集体生物医学研究环境中维持增强。
