Blackfeet Community College, Little Big Horn College, and Montana State University will collaborate in a project which will provide research experience, mentoring, and academic enrichment to students at the three schools. A total of 30 students over a five-year period will participate in the project beginning Summer 2009. Students from the three schools will engage in 2-year cohorts where they will they will do research in ecology, environmental science and microbiology projects relevant to their lives and career goals. The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the Missouri and Yellowstone River systems, numerous mountain ranges and the Northern Great Plains will provide diverse ecosystems and opportunities for research. The collaborative network will enhance student opportunities on all three campuses and will also support graduates of LBHC and BCC as they transition to MSU for their bachelor?s degrees. The student participants will be mentored by science faculty and by Native American professional biologists in developing academic and research skills to prepare them to complete baccalaureate degrees and continue on in graduate school. The overall goal of the project is to increase the number of Native Americans completing bachelor?s degrees and entering graduate programs in ecology, in environmental science and in biological fields.

黑脚社区学院、小大角学院和蒙大拿州立大学将合作开展一个项目，为三所学校的学生提供研究经验、指导和学术充实。从2009年夏季开始，五年内共有30名学生将参加该项目。来自三所学校的学生将参加为期2年的队列，在那里他们将做生态学，环境科学和微生物学项目的研究与他们的生活和职业目标。大黄石生态系统，密苏里州和黄石河系统，众多的山脉和北方大平原将提供多样化的生态系统和研究机会。该合作网络将提高学生在所有三个校区的机会，也将支持LBHC和BCC的毕业生，因为他们过渡到密歇根州立大学为他们的学士学位？s度。学生参与者将由科学教师和美洲原住民专业生物学家指导，培养学术和研究技能，为他们完成学士学位并继续在研究生院学习做好准备。该项目的总体目标是增加美国原住民完成学士学位的人数？获得学士学位，并进入生态学、环境科学和生物学领域的研究生课程。更多信息可从黑脚社区学院的辛迪·多尔（[e-mail]）、小大角学院的涅瓦·塔尔贝尔（[e-mail]）和蒙大拿州立大学的约翰·瓦茨（[e-mail]）获得。网站地址：http://www.montana.edu/wwwai/
