Advancing Biomedical Research for American Indians

描述(申请人提供)：The Haskell Rise“先进的生物医学 “为美国印第安人研究”的提案是由教职员工和 来自哈斯克尔印第安人民族大学的管理员(协作团队) (哈斯克尔)、堪萨斯大学(KU)、堪萨斯大学医学院 学校(KUMC)和哈斯克尔健康中心(HHC)，以增加 哈斯克尔美国印第安人学生完成生物医学相关研究 事业。该提案的四项主要活动是(1)少数民族学生 发展，(2)少数民族学生研究，(3)少数民族教师发展， (4)科学课程开发。学生发展注重基础 阅读、写作和数学--大多数哈斯克尔学生都在这些领域 不足，但也在计划中进行浓缩。学生研究部分 为生物医学研究提供了无数机会。传统型 附近的科罗拉多大学提供尖端实验室的机会；研究 在Haskell Health Center(IHS的一个单位)和远程医疗方面的经验 与KUMC的产品也可用。在暑假，将鼓励学生们 参与州外生物医学研究的机会。教员 发展的目标是两名教职员工，他们将努力完成他们的 博士学位，并为所有人提供相关的发展机会 理科和数学系。基础设施增强，将允许Haskell 为了更好地服务于它的学生，提出了。课程开发将允许 教职员工将致力于开发额外的科学课程， 丰富哈斯克尔的产品。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Haskell RISE "Advancing Biomedical Research for American Indians" proposal was developed by faculty and administrators (the Collaboration Team) from Haskell Indian Nations University (Haskell), the University of Kansas (KU), the University of Kansas Medical School (KUMC), and the Haskell Health Center (HHC) to increase opportunities of American Indian students at Haskell to achieve biomedically relevant research careers. The four major activities of the proposal are (1) Minority Student Development, (2) Minority Student Research, (3) Minority Faculty Development, and (4) Science Curriculum Development. Student development focuses on basic reading, writing, and mathematics--areas in which most Haskell students are deficient, but enrichment is also planned. The student research component provides numerous opportunities for biomedical research. Traditional opportunities in cutting-edge laboratories at nearby KU are offered; research experiences in Haskell Health Center (an IHS unit) contexts and in Telemedicine with KUMC are also available. In the summer, students will be encouraged to participate in out-of-state biomedical research opportunities. Faculty development targets two faculty members who will work to complete their doctorates and also provides relevant developmental opportunities for all science and math faculty. Infrastructure enhancements that will permit Haskell to better serve its students are proposed. Curriculum development will permit faculty to work on the development of additional science classes that will enrich Haskell's offerings.
