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）： 德克萨斯大学圣安东尼奥健康科学中心 (UTHSCSA)、圣玛丽大学 (StMU) 和圣母湖大学 (OLLU) 开发了圣安东尼奥生物医学教育和研究 (SABRE) ） 程序。这个为期 4 年的博士后项目将最先进研究的指导培训与创新的教学方法和指导教学经验相结合。 UTHSCSA 是德克萨斯州南部唯一一所一级研究型大学，拥有浓厚的卓越教育文化，其校友在主要为西班牙裔本科生服务的当地机构中担任教职。这一教育里程碑反映了 UTHSCSA 独特的培训环境，它提高了教师和学员对快速增长的西班牙裔学生需求的敏感性。 UTHSCSA、StMU 和 OLLU 是拉美裔服务机构，直接反映了该地区的人口，即圣安东尼奥是 美国第七大城市，也是西班牙裔人口占多数的城市中西班牙裔人口最多的城市。尽管拉美裔人在过去十年中占了该国经济增长的一半，并且拉美裔人的大学入学率创历史新高，但拉美裔人在科学界各个层面的代表性都不足。 SABRE 将培训杰出的博士后研究人员/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，同时提高本科生对生物医学研究职业的兴趣。基于我们在研究/教学方面培养非常成功的博士后学者的行之有效的方法，我们建议利用我们的经验来实现 IRACDA（机构研究和学术职业发展奖）的目标。教学培训将包括由我们的合作者三一大学组织的研讨会，三一大学是霍华德休斯医学研究所 (HHMI) 授予的本科研究和教学机构。此外，SABER 正式化所获得的效率将被利用并提供给所有博士后学员。 SABER 计划将实现以下目标： 1) 招募多元化且有成就的博士后学者并为其提供示范性研究培训，这些博士后学者具有不折不扣的研究生产力和模型生物体/系统的经验，能够应对研究和科学教育的挑战。 2）培养熟悉当代生物医学研究、致力于高质量本科教育、成为终身学习的榜样和指南的教学学者。 3) 正式确定伙伴机构之间的合作教育和科学研究培训。成功完成这些目标将培养杰出的 SABER 学者，并使所有参与机构受益匪浅。 StMU 和 OLLU 的科学课程将融入最新的科学进展。此外，各方之间的科学交流 将增加机构，以促进新的合作并持续增强我们地区的集体生物医学研究环境。
