Project Summary/Abstract The objective of the proposed project is to increase the transfer of Native American students from accredited 2-year degree-granting institutions to baccalaureate degree programs in biomedical and behavioral sciences with the ultimate goal to aid these students in attaining their baccalaureate degrees. The program resides at Northern Arizona University (NAU) and partners with Coconino Community College (CCC); both institutions are located in Flagstaff, AZ. In 2008, NAU and CCC began a transfer program called CCC2NAU, which creates a seamless transition for students at CCC to NAU by matriculating in both institutions with shared resources for the students. NAU’s geographic location is ideal for enhancing the academic experiences of Native American students since Flagstaff is considered a border town for the Navajo and Hopi Nations and is near the White River Apache and Hualapai Nations. With allegiance to Native American student excellence by NAU and CCC and an exemplary geographic location to several tribal lands, the Bridging Arizona Native American Students to Bachelor Degrees program provides a pathway for Native American students to pursue biomedical and behavioral science careers. The proposed T34 program will administer academic year training and professional development in writing, communication, and enhancement of reproducibility along with hands-on research experiences. Additionally, the program will focus on student advising and mentorship and will connect Native American science role models with the burgeoning student researchers. The program is centered on a 24-month experience for Native American students who will be recruited in their first year at CCC. The structure of the program will provide support to three Bridges scholars during their sophomore year at CCC, and three Bridges scholars who have transferred to NAU during their junior year. In addition to recruiting through CCC programs, the proposed program will network with regional high schools with high Native American student enrollment to recruit motivated students. The program will counsel Bridges scholars at NAU during their junior year to identify and apply for financial support in their senior year to enable biomedical or behavioral science degree completion while exploring graduate training opportunities. As an eight-year R25 grant, we trained more than 54 Native American students and successfully transitioned 46% of these students to 4-year baccalaureate programs. Our goal in this T34 application is to improve the percentage to 70% transfer rates of Bridges participants. We believe with 24 months of strategic support and the reconfiguration of the program, this goal is achievable. Programmatic modifications for the T34 application were guided by the evaluation of the R25 program.

项目摘要/摘要 拟议项目的目的是增加美国原住民学生的转移 认可的两年学位授予机构，用于生物医学和 行为科学的最终目标是帮助这些学生参加学士学位。 该计划位于北亚利桑那大学（NAU）和可可尼诺社区的合作伙伴 大学（CCC）；这两个机构都位于亚利桑那州弗拉格斯塔夫。 2008年，NAU和CCC开始转移 名为CCC2NAU的程序，该计划为CCC的学生创造了无缝的过渡到NAU 在两个机构中都有为学生提供共享资源的入学。 NAU的地理位置是 由于弗拉格斯塔夫被认为是增强美洲原住民学生的学术经历的理想 纳瓦霍人和霍迪国家的边境小镇，位于怀特河阿帕奇和hualapai附近 国家。忠于NAU和CCC的美国原住民学生卓越和典范 地理位置到几个部落土地，桥接的亚利桑那州原住民学生为单身汉 学位课程为美国原住民学生提供生物医学和行为的途径 科学职业。拟议的T34计划将管理学年培训和专业 以书面形式，沟通和增强可重复性以及动手 研究经验。此外，该计划将侧重于学生咨询和精神职位，并将 将美国原住民科学榜样与新兴的学生研究人员联系起来。该程序是 以美国原住民为中心的24个月的经验，他们将在第一年被招募 在CCC。该计划的结构将为三个桥梁学者提供支持 CCC的大二一年，三个桥梁学者在大三时转移到NAU 年。除了通过CCC计划招募外，该计划还将与区域建立联系 拥有美国原住民学生入学率高的高中招募成熟的学生。该程序 将在大三的时候向NAU的布里奇斯学者提供咨询，以识别和申请财政支持 他们的高年级可以在探索研究生时完成生物医学或行为科学学位的完成 培训机会。作为八年的R25赠款，我们培训了54多名美国原住民学生 并成功将这些学生中的46％转变为4年的学士学位课程。我们的目标 T34的应用是将桥梁参与者转移率提高到70％的转移率。我们相信 通过24个月的战略支持和计划的重新配置，这一目标是可以实现的。 T34应用程序的程序化修改由R25程序的评估指导。
