项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Salish Kootenai College (SKC) is a 4-year tribal college on the Flathead Indian Reservation in western Montana. SKC offers bachelor's degrees, associate's degrees, and certificate programs to over 1,000 students, of which greater than 75% are from Native American and other minority groups. SKC's bioscience, bio-behavioral, and health-related programs are growing but continue to be small and lacking in adequate student research opportunities, student exposure to professional research environments and training, and advanced course work that would support students who wish to pursue advanced degrees in the biosciences or careers in biotechnology. Improving science curriculum offerings, providing undergraduate research opportunities for students, expanding and better equipping laboratory facilities, and exposing students to a variety of professional research environments will not only attract new students to SKC's science degree programs but will also foster more successful outcomes for those current students who are considering graduate studies or future careers in biomedical or health-related research. The purpose of this proposal is to use the NIH-NIGMS MBRS-RISE grant mechanism to complement faculty-driven bioscience, bio-behavioral, and health-related research initiatives at SKC by accomplishing the following four specific measurable objectives. Specific aim 1: Provide mechanisms of support for student research activities in biomedical, bio-behavioral, and health-related research projects. Specific aim 2: Offer students exposure to professional scientific environments, including conferences, workshops, and specialized training in biomedically related disciplines. Specific aim 3: Foster professional collaborations with experienced scientists at active research institutions and within SKC that will lead to SKC student placement in on-campus and off-campus summer internships and that will provide critical contacts for entering graduate degree programs. Specific aim 4: Integrate the above-listed RISE objectives with continued science program development leading to "seamless" transfer programs in the biosciences, faculty enhancement, and baccalaureate level science degree programs at SKC. Given the composition of SKC's student population, implementation of this RISE program plan will result in increased minority student enrollment in the sciences. Successful progress through science degree programs will be enhanced by providing students with exposure to a variety of bioscience and health-related research environments, offering students opportunities for "hands-on" training, and developing faculty-initiated research collaboration with experienced scientists at other research institutions, which will, in turn, allow SKC students the critical contacts often necessary to enter and be successful in research-based graduate studies at major colleges and universities. SKC has defined specific numerical goals for the course of its MBRS activities and will organize an external advisory committee to evaluate the college's progress during the MBRS funding period. By equipping a multi-user biosciences laboratory and implementing the herein proposed RISE plan, the MBRS goal of increasing minority participation in bioscience, bio-behavioral, and health-related research will be achieved at Salish Kootenai College.

描述（由申请人提供）：萨利什库特奈学院 (SKC) 是一所四年制部落学院，位于蒙大拿州西部弗拉特黑德印第安人保留地。 SKC 为 1,000 多名学生提供学士学位、副学士学位和证书课程，其中超过 75% 来自美洲原住民和其他少数族裔。 SKC 的生物科学、生物行为和健康相关项目正在增长，但规模仍然较小，并且缺乏足够的学生研究机会、学生接触专业研究环境和培训的机会，以及支持希望攻读高级学位的学生的高级课程作业从事生物科学或生物技术职业。改善科学课程设置，为学生提供本科生研究机会，扩大和更好地装备实验室设施，让学生接触各种专业研究环境，不仅会吸引新生进入 SKC 的科学学位课程，还会为现有的学生带来更成功的成果。正在考虑研究生学习或未来从事生物医学或健康相关研究的学生。该提案的目的是通过实现以下四个具体的可衡量目标，利用 NIH-NIGMS MBRS-RISE 资助机制来补充 SKC 教师驱动的生物科学、生物行为和健康相关研究计划。具体目标 1：为生物医学、生物行为和健康相关研究项目的学生研究活动提供支持机制。具体目标 2：为学生提供专业的科学环境，包括生物医学相关学科的会议、研讨会和专门培训。具体目标 3：促进与活跃研究机构和 SKC 内经验丰富的科学家的专业合作，这将导致 SKC 学生在校内和校外暑期实习，并为进入研究生学位课程提供重要的联系。具体目标 4：将上述 RISE 目标与持续的科学项目开发相结合，从而在 SKC 的生物科学、师资增强和学士学位科学学位项目中实现“无缝”转学项目。考虑到 SKC 学生群体的构成，实施 RISE 计划将导致少数族裔学生在科学领域的入学人数增加。通过为学生提供接触各种生物科学和健康相关研究环境、为学生提供“实践”培训的机会以及与其他研究领域经验丰富的科学家开展教师发起的研究合作，将有助于通过科学学位课程取得成功。反过来，这也将为 SKC 的学生提供进入主要学院和大学的研究型研究生学习并取得成功所必需的关键联系。 SKC 为其 MBRS 活动制定了具体的数字目标，并将组织一个外部咨询委员会来评估学院在 MBRS 资助期间的进展。通过配备多用户生物科学实验室并实施此处提出的 RISE 计划，萨利什库特奈学院将实现增加少数族裔参与生物科学、生物行为和健康相关研究的 MBRS 目标。
