AIHEC BIRCH Overall Core Project/Narrative The vision of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium’s (AIHEC) “Building Indigenous Research Capacity in Health” (BIRCH) project is sovereign Tribal Nations asserting full ownership, direction, and control of the health research needed to help their people grow healthy and strong. Implementing new programs in the 37 TCUs across the country, AIHEC will provide additional resources for American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) students to pursue coursework and careers that will enable them to act as healthcare providers and researchers. This project provides a comprehensive approach to growing a networked community of AIAN and non-Native researchers, educators, and community practitioners to implement traditional knowledge practices in addressing AIAN health issues and continuously improve Native health and health research practices and outcomes. The lack of tribal healthcare researchers and providers perpetuates health disparities and a lack of equity in tribal communities. Furthermore, studies show that communities with tribal healthcare providers and researchers have a higher treatment adherence and fewer mortalities or serious illnesses. Promoting the advancement of AIAN students will not only benefit the students. Still, it will also lead to healthier tribal communities, increased compliance with healthcare visits and interventions, participation in clinical trials, and a reduction in the primary causes of illness and mortality such as diabetes, substance use disorders, injuries, homicide, and suicide. The long-term goals of the project are: To expand a community of Indigenous research practice in health/health sciences at the nation’s TCUs; to establish TCUs as essential tribally-centered components of the national health sciences research and education infrastructure; to improve the quality of health services provided to AIANs using a science-based empirical approach to intervention development and evaluation that is relevant to Native peoples and communities and based on core tribal values, cultures, and traditions; to expand the TCU component of the health research and education career pipeline to recruit, support, and provide critical linkages for AIAN students to pursue health careers; to empower tribes and tribal communities to develop and control their research agenda and connect that research to tribal values and needs, and to promote the integration of Indigenous knowledge and Western knowledge.

AIHEC BIRCH 整体核心 项目/叙述 美国印第安人高等教育联盟 (AIHEC) 的愿景“建设本土研究 健康能力”(BIRCH) 项目是主权部落国家，主张完全所有权、指导和控制 帮助他们的人民健康强壮地实施新计划所需的健康研究。 全国 37 个 TCU，AIHEC 将为美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民提供额外资源 (AIAN) 学生追求课程和职业，使他们能够成为医疗保健提供者和 该项目提供了一种全面的方法来发展 AIAN 和网络社区。 非本土研究人员、教育工作者和社区从业者实施传统知识实践 解决 AIAN 健康问题并不断改进本土健康和健康研究实践， 结果。 部落医疗保健研究人员和提供者的缺乏使健康差距和缺乏公平性长期存在 此外，研究表明，拥有部落医疗服务提供者的社区和 研究人员的治疗依从性更高，死亡率或严重疾病更少。 AIAN学生的进步不仅有利于学生，也将带来更健康的部落。 社区、提高医疗保健就诊和干预措施的依从性、参与临床试验以及 减少疾病和死亡的主要原因，例如糖尿病、药物滥用障碍、受伤、 杀人、自杀。 该项目的长期目标是： 扩大土著研究实践社区 国家 TCU 的健康/健康科学；将 TCU 建立为以部落为中心的重要组成部分 国家卫生科学研究和教育基础设施；提高卫生服务质量 使用基于科学的实证方法来制定和评估干预措施，从而向 AIAN 提供 与原住民和社区相关，并基于核心部落价值观、文化和传统； 扩大 TCU 健康研究和教育职业渠道的组成部分，以招募、支持和 为 AIAN 学生追求健康事业提供重要联系；赋予部落和部落社区权力； 制定和控制他们的研究议程，并将该研究与部落价值观和需求联系起来，并 促进本土知识与西方知识的融合。
