PROVIDED. The Native Americans in Biological Sciences (NABS) program at Oklahoma State University (OSU) is designed to increase the number of Native American students at OSU who successfully earn a degree in a biomedical related field, and to increase the number of Native Americans students entering careers in biological science. The NABS program targets Native Americans, who are the largest group of minorities on the campus of OSU and in the state of Oklahoma. Native American students from OSU and surrounding Indian communities will be recruited tO the NABS program, as many of these students come to OSU from rural communities or 2-year colleges which lack quality science education. The NABS program consist of two main components: 1.) curriculum enhancement for freshman and sophomores, and 2.) research experiences for junior and seniors. The curriculum enhancement program will increase the success of Native Americans in the biology, mathematics, and chemistry disciplines. Difficulty in these courses is the reason most Native American students decide to change majors from science to a non-science discipline. The program will provide supplemental courses using cooperative learning techniques to teach independent learning skills and to strengthen scientific communication skills, as well as to provide inclusion into their field of study. The research experience program will provide an opportunity for Native American students from a diversity of biological related disciplines to engage in laboratory research. These students will learn and understand basic research, under the mentorship of experienced scientists who have volunteered to prepare the students for graduate school, professional school or research careers in biological science. The success of the NABS program will be evaluated by analyzing baseline data and data from the general measurable objectives. The NABS program provides a unique opportunity for the largest minority group in the state of Oklahoma, as it seeks to increase the number of Native Americans in biological science.

假如。 俄克拉荷马州立大学（OSU）的生物科学原住民（NABS）计划是 旨在增加OSU的美国原住民学生的数量，他们成功获得了学位 生物医学相关领域，并增加从事职业的美国原住民学生的数量 生物科学。 NABS计划针对的是美洲原住民，他们是最大的少数民族 OSU的校园和俄克拉荷马州。来自OSU及周围的美国原住民学生 印度社区将被招募到NABS计划，因为其中许多学生来自OSU 缺乏优质科学教育的农村社区或两年学院。 NABS程序包括 两个主要组成部分：1。）新生和大二学生的课程增强，2。）研究 初中和老年人的经验。课程增强计划将增加本地的成功 在生物学，数学和化学学科中的美国人。这些课程的困难是原因 大多数美国原住民学生决定将专业从科学改为非科学纪律。这 计划将使用合作学习技术提供补充课程，以教授独立 学习技能和增强科学沟通技巧，并将其包含在他们的 研究领域。研究经验计划将为美国原住民学生提供机会 从各种与生物学相关的学科到实验室研究。这些学生会学习 并了解基础研究，在经验丰富的科学家的指导下 为学生准备研究生院，专业学校或生物科学研究生涯。这 NABS计划的成功将通过分析一般的基线数据和数据来评估 可衡量的目标。 NABS计划为最大的少数民族提供了独特的机会 俄克拉荷马州试图增加生物科学中美洲原住民的数量。
