ABSTRACT - Forging our Futures: Studying Science to Protect Tribal Health: NW NARCH Program Indian country has been particularly hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, with skyrocketing incidence and mortality rates in many tribal communities. The scientific issues related to many aspects of SARS-CoV-2 and its spread are now recognized by a large proportion of tribal people, young and old. We have a unique window of opportunity to take advantage of this new awareness of public health as a catalyst to encourage young tribal people to consider population health sciences for career choices. If the pandemic continues or new pathogens circulate, the energy and commitment of well-trained tribal scientists who concentrate on issues that are most pressing to tribal well-being will be highly welcomed and valued. Our overall goal in the long-term is to develop a larger cadre of NW tribal people who will engage in population health sciences and related research careers. For this particular grant, however, we will include the following aims as we work to develop a pipeline of high school students who will become future researchers: 1. Develop and implement a population health sciences research introductory program for tribal high school juniors and seniors that uses public health challenges and diseases of tribal health importance to introduce diverse topics in population health scientific research (such as virology, genetics, vaccine development, laboratory methods, epidemiology, environmental health, data science) 2. Assist participating students with development of their own research projects with the help of local mentors, near-peer mentors, and with assistance from population health scientists at the Indian Health Board and its two partner universities (OHSU and Portland State University). 3. Promote selection of population health science major fields of study in undergraduate programs following high school graduation in NW colleges and universities. 4. Evaluate the program thoroughly from the viewpoints of process, impact, and outcomes. We have had enormous success in supporting tribal researchers in graduate school programs, summer research training institute programs, internships, cancer prevention fellowships, and in inclusion of college undergraduates in various research roles at the NW Portland Area Indian Health Board. We will use the population science lens to introduce the high school students to the many fields that make up population health sciences, including laboratory sciences, infectious diseases, data science, immunology, epidemiology, environmental health, and other related areas. Our program will be unique in Indian country, and the success of our efforts will be furthered through our partnership with two premier research universities located nearby.

摘要 - 打造我们的未来：学习科学以保护部落健康：NW NARCH 计划 印度国家受到 COVID-19 大流行的打击尤为严重，发病率急剧上升， 许多部落社区的死亡率。与 SARS-CoV-2 的许多方面相关的科学问题和 它的传播现已得到大部分部落人民（无论男女老少）的认可。我们有一个独特的窗口 有机会利用这种新的公共卫生意识作为催化剂，鼓励年轻的部落 人们在职业选择时考虑人口健康科学。如果大流行持续或出现新的病原体 训练有素的部落科学家的精力和承诺，他们专注于最重要的问题 对部落福祉的迫切追求将受到高度欢迎和重视。 我们的长期总体目标是培养一支更多的西北部落骨干队伍，他们将从事 人口健康科学和相关研究职业。然而，对于这笔特殊的赠款，我们将包括 我们致力于培养一批将成为未来研究人员的高中生，目标如下： 1. 制定并实施部落高中人口健康科学研究入门计划 学校三年级和四年级学生利用公共卫生挑战和对部落健康具有重要意义的疾病 介绍人口健康科学研究的不同主题（如病毒学、遗传学、疫苗 开发、实验室方法、流行病学、环境健康、数据科学） 2. 协助参与学生在当地的帮助下开展自己的研究项目 导师、近同伴导师以及印度健康中心人口健康科学家的帮助 董事会及其两所合作大学（OHSU 和波特兰州立大学）。 3.推动本科专业人口健康科学专业选择 西北学院和大学高中毕业后。 4. 从过程、影响和结果的角度彻底评估项目。 我们在研究生院项目、暑期项目中支持部落研究人员方面取得了巨大成功 研究培训机构项目、实习、癌症预防奖学金以及大学课程 西北波特兰地区印第安健康委员会的本科生担任各种研究职务。我们将使用 人口科学镜头向高中生介绍构成人口健康的许多领域 科学，包括实验室科学、传染病、数据科学、免疫学、流行病学、 环境健康和其他相关领域。我们的计划在印度国家是独一无二的，并且取得了成功 我们将通过与附近两所一流研究型大学的合作伙伴关系进一步推进我们的努力。
