Salish Kootenai College (SKC), in collaboration with the Blackfeet Native Science Field Center at Blackfeet Community College (BCC NSFC) and Hopa Mountain, a Bozeman, Montana based nonprofit organization are developing a Native Science Fellows effort. The project supports Native American undergraduate students’ diverse pathways to geosciences careers by providing fellowships with science organizations, nonprofits and other tribal colleges. The project will also focus on active cohort groups to increase engagement in higher education and geosciences careers. Specific objectives of the initiative are to match promising tribal college and university students annually with hands-on field work and professional research experiences to build skills and pathways to academic and professional careers in the geosciences. These students will also be mentored by geosciences professionals and a supportive cohort network throughout the year.By creating three cohort groups of Fellows linked to two tribal colleges and universities, this initiative will be able to compare and contrast the pathways of these Fellows at each site to determine the most effective strategies to (1) increase the number of Indigenous students who are engaged in community-based geosciences research, field experiences and careers; (2) develop work and training programs for Indigenous tribal college and university students interested in the geosciences; (3) build a network of community-based science professionals who are committed to the success of Native American and Latino students and provide ongoing support for personal, academic and professional success; and (4) prepare these students to transfer to undergraduate or graduate school. These goals align with the GEO Education and Diversity Strategic Framework goals of developing a diverse, competitive, and engaged geosciences workforce.This project is jointly funded by The Directorate for Geosciences GEOPAths Program and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

萨利什·库特奈学院(SKC)与黑脚社区学院(BCC NSFC)的黑脚原住民科学领域中心(BCC NSFC)和总部位于蒙大拿州博兹曼的非营利组织Hopa Mountain合作，正在制定原住民科学研究员计划。该项目通过与科学组织、非营利组织和其他部落学院提供奖学金，支持美国原住民本科生在地球科学职业生涯中的不同途径。该项目还将侧重于积极的群体，以增加对高等教育和地球科学事业的参与。该倡议的具体目标是每年将有前途的部落学院和大学生与实践实地工作和专业研究经验相匹配，以培养在地球科学领域从事学术和专业职业的技能和途径。这些学生全年还将得到地球科学专业人员和支持性队列网络的指导。通过创建与两所部落学院和大学相连的三组研究员，该倡议将能够比较和对比这些研究员在每个地点的途径，以确定最有效的战略，以(1)增加从事基于社区的地球科学研究、实地经验和职业的土著学生的数量；(2)为对地球科学感兴趣的土著部落学院和大学生制定工作和培训方案；(3)建立以社区为基础的科学专业人员网络，他们致力于美国原住民和拉丁裔学生的成功，并为个人、学术和职业成功提供持续支持；以及(4)为这些学生转学本科或研究生院做好准备。这些目标与GEO教育和多样性战略框架目标一致，即发展一支多样化、具有竞争力和参与性的地球科学工作队伍。该项目由地球科学局GEOPAth计划和既定的刺激竞争研究计划(EPSCoR)联合资助。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
