ABSTRACT - Forging our Futures: Studying Science to Protect Tribal Health: NW NARCH Program Indian country has been particularly hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, with skyrocketing incidence and mortality rates in many tribal communities. The scientific issues related to many aspects of SARS-CoV-2 and its spread are now recognized by a large proportion of tribal people, young and old. We have a unique window of opportunity to take advantage of this new awareness of public health as a catalyst to encourage young tribal people to consider population health sciences for career choices. If the pandemic continues or new pathogens circulate, the energy and commitment of well-trained tribal scientists who concentrate on issues that are most pressing to tribal well-being will be highly welcomed and valued. Our overall goal in the long-term is to develop a larger cadre of NW tribal people who will engage in population health sciences and related research careers. For this particular grant, however, we will include the following aims as we work to develop a pipeline of high school students who will become future researchers: 1. Develop and implement a population health sciences research introductory program for tribal high school juniors and seniors that uses public health challenges and diseases of tribal health importance to introduce diverse topics in population health scientific research (such as virology, genetics, vaccine development, laboratory methods, epidemiology, environmental health, data science) 2. Assist participating students with development of their own research projects with the help of local mentors, near-peer mentors, and with assistance from population health scientists at the Indian Health Board and its two partner universities (OHSU and Portland State University). 3. Promote selection of population health science major fields of study in undergraduate programs following high school graduation in NW colleges and universities. 4. Evaluate the program thoroughly from the viewpoints of process, impact, and outcomes. We have had enormous success in supporting tribal researchers in graduate school programs, summer research training institute programs, internships, cancer prevention fellowships, and in inclusion of college undergraduates in various research roles at the NW Portland Area Indian Health Board. We will use the population science lens to introduce the high school students to the many fields that make up population health sciences, including laboratory sciences, infectious diseases, data science, immunology, epidemiology, environmental health, and other related areas. Our program will be unique in Indian country, and the success of our efforts will be furthered through our partnership with two premier research universities located nearby.

摘要 - 锻造我们的未来：研究科学以保护部落健康：NW Narch计划 印度国家受到共同-19大流行的袭击，发病率不高， 许多部落社区的死亡率。与SARS-COV-2和 现在，它的传播得到了很大一部分的部落人民的认可。我们有一个独特的窗口 有机会利用这种对公共卫生的新意识，作为鼓励年轻部落的催化剂 人们考虑人口健康科学的职业选择。如果大流行持续或新病原体 循环，训练有素的部落科学家的精力和承诺，他们专注于最多的问题 紧迫部落福祉将受到高度欢迎和重视。 从一如 人口健康科学和相关研究职业。但是，对于这项特殊赠款，我们将包括 在我们努力开发将成为未来研究人员的高中生的渠道时的目标： 1。制定和实施人群健康科学研究介绍计划 使用公共卫生挑战和部落健康疾病的学校大三学生和老年人 引入人群健康科学研究中的各种主题（例如病毒学，遗传学，疫苗 发展，实验室方法，流行病学，环境健康，数据科学） 2.协助参与学生在当地的帮助下开发自己的研究项目 导师，亲密导师，以及印度卫生的人口健康科学家的协助 董事会及其两所合伙大学（OHSU和波特兰州立大学）。 3。促进人口健康科学的选择主要研究领域的研究领域 在西北大学和大学高中毕业后。 4。从过程，影响和结果的角度彻底评估程序。 我们在支持部落研究人员的研究生课程中取得了巨大成功，夏季 研究培训学院计划，实习，预防癌症奖学金以及包括大学 西北波特兰地区印度卫生委员会的各种研究角色的本科生。我们将使用 人口科学镜头将高中生介绍到构成人口健康的许多领域 科学，包括实验室科学，传染病，数据科学，免疫学，流行病学， 环境健康和其他相关领域。我们的计划将在印度国家独一无二，成功 我们的努力将通过与附近的两所主要研究型大学的合作伙伴关系进一步。
