A brief description of the institution’s programs that help increase the diversity of higher education faculty:

The Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Award (IRACDA) Post-Doctoral Program is sponsored by the Office for Diversity in Science Training. IRACDA provides 3 years of support to fellows in various science research fields to assist in training and preparation for research and teaching careers in academia.

The program provides post-doctoral fellows with…
- An extensive mentored research experience with one of twenty KU faculty mentors
- An unique teaching opportunity at Haskell Indian Nations University, a local four-year tribal college
- Professional development opportunities, including grant writing workshops and science publishing workshops
- Three years of financial support, including benefits
