Native Americans in Biological Science at OK State Univ

提供了 俄克拉荷马州州立大学（OSU）的美国原住民生物科学（NABS）项目是 旨在增加在俄勒冈州立大学谁成功地获得学位的美洲原住民学生的数量， 生物医学相关领域，并增加美国原住民学生进入职业生涯的人数， 生物科学NABS计划的目标是美洲原住民，他们是世界上最大的少数民族群体。 俄勒冈州立大学和俄克拉荷马州的校园。来自OSU及周边地区的美国原住民学生 印度社区将被招募到NABS计划，因为这些学生中的许多人来自俄勒冈州立大学。 农村社区或两年制大学缺乏高质量的科学教育。NABS计划包括 两个主要组成部分：1.）为大一和大二学生加强课程，以及2.）研究 为初级和高级的经验。课程改进计划将提高本地的成功 生物、数学和化学学科的美国人。这些课程的难度是原因 大多数美国原住民学生决定从理科专业转到非理科专业。的 该计划将提供补充课程，使用合作学习技术，教独立 学习技能，加强科学交流技能，以及提供包容性， 研究领域。研究经验计划将为美国原住民学生提供机会 从生物相关学科的多样性，从事实验室研究。这些学生将学习 了解基础研究，在经验丰富的科学家的指导下， 为学生进入生物科学研究生院、专业学校或研究生涯做好准备。的 将通过分析基线数据和来自一般国家的数据来评估NABS计划的成功 可衡量的目标。NABS计划为美国最大的少数民族群体提供了一个独特的机会。 俄克拉荷马州，因为它试图增加生物科学中的美洲原住民数量。

PROVIDED. The Native Americans in Biological Sciences (NABS) program at Oklahoma State University (OSU) is designed to increase the number of Native American students at OSU who successfully earn a degree in a biomedical related field, and to increase the number of Native Americans students entering careers in biological science. The NABS program targets Native Americans, who are the largest group of minorities on the campus of OSU and in the state of Oklahoma. Native American students from OSU and surrounding Indian communities will be recruited tO the NABS program, as many of these students come to OSU from rural communities or 2-year colleges which lack quality science education. The NABS program consist of two main components: 1.) curriculum enhancement for freshman and sophomores, and 2.) research experiences for junior and seniors. The curriculum enhancement program will increase the success of Native Americans in the biology, mathematics, and chemistry disciplines. Difficulty in these courses is the reason most Native American students decide to change majors from science to a non-science discipline. The program will provide supplemental courses using cooperative learning techniques to teach independent learning skills and to strengthen scientific communication skills, as well as to provide inclusion into their field of study. The research experience program will provide an opportunity for Native American students from a diversity of biological related disciplines to engage in laboratory research. These students will learn and understand basic research, under the mentorship of experienced scientists who have volunteered to prepare the students for graduate school, professional school or research careers in biological science. The success of the NABS program will be evaluated by analyzing baseline data and data from the general measurable objectives. The NABS program provides a unique opportunity for the largest minority group in the state of Oklahoma, as it seeks to increase the number of Native Americans in biological science.
