DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This continuing project will maintain and enhance the partnership between Montana State University- Bozeman and four tribal colleges in Montana: Little Big Horn College, Fort Peck Community College, Stone Child College and Chief Dull Knife College. The goal of this partnership is to build a seamless educational experience between these two-year tribal colleges and the MSU thereby increasing the number of underrepresented Native American tribal college students successfully transferring to MSU and pursuing academic studies in the biomedical and other health-related sciences. "Bridging Tribal Colleges to MSU" (BRIDGES) will focus on achieving the following aims: (1) Annually at the tribal colleges, BRIDGES will sponsor 8 research seminars by MSU faculty and others in biomedical and behavioral sciences; (2) will annually host a three-day spring workshop at MSU to introduce 20 tribal college students to MSU; (3) will provide 11 students with meaningful, hands-on research experiences in biomedical and related laboratories at MSU during an 8-week program each summer; (4) will provide summer participants with math coursework to improve their academic competitiveness and confidence; (5) will provide tribal college faculty with opportunities for professional development, including support for travel to biomedical and related professional conferences, research supplies, and opportunities for collaborative research with MSU faculty; (6) will provide on-campus support after students bridge from one campus to the other, continuing to motivate and guide these students through their completion of a B.S. degree. These specific project aims are designed to create multiple opportunities for strengthening academic skills and improving confidence when transferring from two-year, tribal colleges to four-year MSU. By hosting tribal college students on the MSU campus during spring semester, the summer research experience, and by reciprocal visits by MSU faculty and others to the students' campuses and communities, the program will create a seamless sense of place and belonging to carry students throughout their undergraduate studies. Since BRIDGES' inception in 2001, 64% (28 out of 44) of its summer research students have progressed from their tribal colleges to B.S. degree programs. BRIDGES proposes to advance 75% of its summer participants to 4-year schools and to graduate 70% of the MSU transfer students with baccalaureate degrees. This student training project will increase the number of underrepresented Native American students successfully transferring and pursuing academic studies in the biomedical and other health-related sciences from two-year tribal colleges to Montana State University. It will strengthen the collaborations between MSU's health-related research programs and tribal colleges on Montana reservations where significant health disparities exist in areas such as the incidence of cancer, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. As a result of the program, more American Indians will be trained to work in biomedically related fields to eliminate the health disparities among their peoples.

描述（由申请人提供）：这个持续的项目将保持和加强蒙大拿州州立大学-博兹曼和蒙大拿州的四个部落学院之间的伙伴关系：小大角学院，派克堡社区学院，石童学院和首席钝刀学院。这种伙伴关系的目标是建立这些为期两年的部落学院和密歇根州立大学之间的无缝教育经验，从而增加代表性不足的美洲原住民部落大学生成功转移到密歇根州立大学，并在生物医学和其他健康相关的科学追求学术研究的数量。“将部落学院与密歇根州立大学联系起来”（BRIDGES）将着重实现以下目标：（1）每年在部落学院，BRIDGES将赞助密歇根州立大学教师和其他人在生物医学和行为科学方面的8次研究研讨会;（2）每年在密歇根州立大学举办为期三天的春季讲习班，向20名部落学院学生介绍密歇根州立大学;（3）将提供11名学生在生物医学和相关实验室在每年夏天为期8周的计划有意义的，动手的研究经验在密歇根州立大学;（4）将提供数学课程的夏季参与者，以提高他们的学术竞争力和信心;（5）将提供部落学院教师与专业发展的机会，包括支持前往生物医学和相关专业会议，研究用品，并与MSU教师合作研究的机会;（6）在学生从一个校园过渡到另一个校园后，将提供校内支持，继续激励和指导这些学生完成学士学位。℃下这些具体的项目目标旨在创造多种机会，加强学术技能和提高信心时，从两年制，部落学院转移到四年制MSU。通过在春季学期期间在MSU校园举办部落大学生，夏季研究体验，以及MSU教师和其他人对学生校园和社区的互访，该计划将创造一个无缝的地方感和归属感，以使学生在整个本科学习期间进行学习。自2001年成立以来，64%（44人中的28人）的暑期研究生已经从他们的部落学院发展到了学士学位。学位课程。桥建议提前75%的夏季参与者到4年制学校，并毕业70%的密歇根州立大学转学生与学士学位。这一学生培训项目将增加代表性不足的美洲土著学生的人数，使他们从两年制部落学院成功转到蒙大拿州立大学，并在生物医学和其他与健康有关的科学方面进行学术研究。它将加强密歇根州立大学与健康相关的研究项目和蒙大拿州保留地部落学院之间的合作，这些保留地在癌症，心脏病，中风和糖尿病的发病率等领域存在显著的健康差异。由于该计划，更多的美洲印第安人将接受培训，在生物医学相关领域工作，以消除其人民之间的健康差距。
