Indigenous students are one of the most underrepresented groups in science. This team of indigenous scholars and scientists will develop a network of indigenous scholars, students and community members to study processes and practices that foster indigenous knowledge and scholarship through community engagement. By fostering a dialogue about the production of science that bridges both western and indigenous world views, the network will engage indigenous communities in science. In addition, they will identify research needs and priorities, develop ethical research protocols to guide research with Native communities, mentor young scholars, and recommend mechanisms to strengthen and sustain the network beyond the length of the award. This project supports the White House 2020 goals in higher education by assisting in the preparation of indigenous people for the new economy through maintaining their engagement in science.The Research Coordination Network (RCN) for Facilitating Indigenous Research, Science and Technology will develop a network of indigenous scholars from the continental U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii for the purpose of developing indigenous scientific epistemologies and investigating their inclusion in scientific inquiry. Over the course of the RCN the project will outline a methodology that fosters indigenous knowledge and scholarship in scientific research, a process that is integral to the engagement of indigenous communities in science. The training and development of indigenous students and the inclusion of indigenous community members as collaborators is at the core of this project.

土著学生是科学领域代表性最低的群体之一。 这个土著学者和科学家小组将建立一个土著学者、学生和社区成员网络，研究通过社区参与促进土著知识和学术的进程和做法。通过促进关于科学成果的对话，沟通西方和土著世界观，该网络将使土著社区参与科学。 此外，他们将确定研究需求和优先事项，制定道德研究协议，以指导与土著社区的研究，指导年轻学者，并建议机制，以加强和维持网络超过奖励的长度。 该项目支持白宫2020年高等教育目标，通过保持土著人民对科学的参与，帮助他们为新经济做好准备，促进土著研究、科学和技术的研究协调网络将建立一个美国大陆土著学者网络，阿拉斯加和夏威夷，目的是发展土著科学认识论，并调查将其纳入科学探究的情况。在RCN的过程中，该项目将概述一种促进土著知识和科学研究奖学金的方法，这是土著社区参与科学的一个组成部分。土著学生的培训和发展以及将土著社区成员作为合作者纳入是该项目的核心。
