PROJECT SUMMARY Overview Environmental Health Sciences Research for Indigenous Scholar Engagement (EHS-RISE) is a 5-year summer research training program for Native American undergraduates at the University of Arizona (UArizona). It is housed within the Undergraduate Biology Research Program, the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, and the Southwest Environmental Health Sciences Center. The long-term goal of this program is to increase the number of Native Americans in STEM fields. The short-term goal is to develop and retain a stable cadre of Native American students who graduate from University of Arizona with STEM degrees. These goals will be realized through the intentional construction of a research training environment that supports and integrates Native values for Native students pursuing a science degree. The specific objectives of this program are: Objective 1: Identify, recruit, and retain nine Native American undergraduate students annually for five years. Objective 2: Develop and expand trainees’ scientific skills and knowledge. Objective 3: Foster and sustain trainees’ level of engagement. Objective 4: Embed the program within a culturally relevant environment and learning community. These objectives will be achieved by addressing each of the eight pillars of the American Indian Well Being Model in Higher Education within the context of a rigorous environmental health research training program. Intellectual Merit EHS-RISE approaches STEM diversity from a non-traditional mindset. Instead of recruiting Native students into a program based on a Western scientific model, we have built a program that integrates Native values and builds bridges between Indigenous and Western science and knowledge. It is a model which equally values the contribution of both epistemologies. In this way, we are advancing STEM workforce diversity and inclusion by honoring and integrating the impact and influence of Native perspectives and values in science. Broader Impact A diverse workforce, in which the contributions of all members are valued, results in greater innovation, creativity, engagement, and decision-making. Our model supports the development of culturally confident and scientifically competent Native American scientists who will bring their values and knowledge into the STEM workforce, thus advancing science and innovation.

项目概要 概述 土著学者参与环境健康科学研究 (EHS-RISE) 是一项为期 5 年的项目 亚利桑那大学美国原住民本科生暑期研究培训项目 （亚利桑那州）。 药理毒理学和西南环境健康科学中心的长期目标。 该计划的短期目标是增加 STEM 领域的美洲原住民数量。 培养并留住一支稳定的美国原住民学生队伍，他们毕业于亚利桑那大学 这些目标将通过有意识地建设研究培训来实现。 为攻读科学学位的本土学生提供支持和整合本土价值观的环境。 该方案的具体目标是： 目标 1：五年内每年识别、招募和留住 9 名美国原住民本科生。 目标 2：发展和扩展学员的科学技能和知识。 目标 3：培养并维持学员的参与水平。 目标 4：将该计划嵌入文化相关的环境和学习社区中。 这些目标将通过解决美洲印第安人福祉的八个支柱中的每一个来实现 在严格的环境健康研究培训计划背景下的高等教育模型。 智力优势 EHS-RISE 从非传统的思维方式来实现 STEM 多样性，而不是招收本地学生。 到一个基于西方科学模型的计划中，我们建立了一个融合本土价值观和 它在本土和西方科学和知识之间架起桥梁，这是一个同等重视的模型。 通过这种方式，我们正在通过以下方式推进 STEM 劳动力的多样性和包容性。 尊重并整合本土观点和价值观在科学中的影响力。 更广泛的影响 多元化的员工队伍，所有成员的贡献都受到重视，从而带来更大的创新， 我们的模型支持文化自信和决策的发展。 具有科学能力的美洲原住民科学家将把他们的价值观和知识带入 STEM 劳动力，从而推动科学和创新。
