Advancing Biomedical Research for American Indians

描述（由申请人提供）：Haskell RISE“先进生物医学 美国印第安人研究”的建议是由教师和 Haskell Indian Nations University的管理人员（协作团队） （哈斯克尔），堪萨斯大学（KU），堪萨斯医科大学 学校（KUMC）和哈斯克尔健康中心（HHC），以增加 美国印第安学生在哈斯克尔实现生物医学相关的研究 careers.该提案的四大活动是（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、写和数学--大多数Haskell的学生都在这些领域学习。 有缺陷，但也有计划的丰富。学生研究部分 为生物医学研究提供了许多机会。传统 提供附近KU尖端实验室的机会;研究 在Haskell Health Center（IHS单位）环境和远程医疗方面的经验 KUMC也可以使用。在夏季，学生将被鼓励 参与州外生物医学研究的机会。教师 发展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 科学和数学系。基础设施的增强将允许Haskell 更好地为学生服务。课程开发将允许 教师致力于开发额外的科学课程， 丰富Haskell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.
