Abstract: This award provides funding for the Native Americans in Science, Engineering and Natural Resources (NASENR) program at Oregon State University. The goal of the program is to increase the number of Native American students who earn degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics at OSU. The program is based on the proven faculty mentoring and peer-mentoring strengths of the Native Americans in Marine and Space Sciences (NAMSS) program which had a 15 year history of supporting Native American students. The students who participated in the NAMSS program had a 95% graduation rate and 55% of the students continued their education with graduate programs. This program will provide internships (in the form of hourly wages) for 10 students to conduct independent research projects under the mentorship of OSU faculty and other Native American students as they work toward degrees in science and engineering. It strongly supports NSF efforts to increase diversity in the sciences.

摘要：该奖项为俄勒冈州州立大学的美国原住民科学、工程和自然资源（NASENR）项目提供资金。该计划的目标是增加在俄勒冈州立大学获得科学，技术，工程和数学学位的美国原住民学生的数量。该计划是基于美国原住民在海洋和空间科学（NAMSS）计划，其中有15年的支持美国原住民学生的历史证明教师指导和同行指导的优势。参加NAMSS课程的学生有95%的毕业率，55%的学生继续接受研究生课程的教育。该计划将为10名学生提供实习机会（以小时工资的形式），在俄勒冈州立大学教师和其他美洲原住民学生的指导下进行独立的研究项目，因为他们在科学和工程学位方面工作。 它强烈支持NSF努力增加科学的多样性。
