DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Salish Kootenai College (SKC) is a 4-year tribal college on the Flathead Indian Reservation in western Montana. SKC offers bachelor's degrees, associate's degrees, and certificate programs to over 1,000 students, of which greater than 75% are from Native American and other minority groups. SKC's bioscience, bio-behavioral, and health-related programs are growing but continue to be small and lacking in adequate student research opportunities, student exposure to professional research environments and training, and advanced course work that would support students who wish to pursue advanced degrees in the biosciences or careers in biotechnology. Improving science curriculum offerings, providing undergraduate research opportunities for students, expanding and better equipping laboratory facilities, and exposing students to a variety of professional research environments will not only attract new students to SKC's science degree programs but will also foster more successful outcomes for those current students who are considering graduate studies or future careers in biomedical or health-related research. The purpose of this proposal is to use the NIH-NIGMS MBRS-RISE grant mechanism to complement faculty-driven bioscience, bio-behavioral, and health-related research initiatives at SKC by accomplishing the following four specific measurable objectives. Specific aim 1: Provide mechanisms of support for student research activities in biomedical, bio-behavioral, and health-related research projects. Specific aim 2: Offer students exposure to professional scientific environments, including conferences, workshops, and specialized training in biomedically related disciplines. Specific aim 3: Foster professional collaborations with experienced scientists at active research institutions and within SKC that will lead to SKC student placement in on-campus and off-campus summer internships and that will provide critical contacts for entering graduate degree programs. Specific aim 4: Integrate the above-listed RISE objectives with continued science program development leading to "seamless" transfer programs in the biosciences, faculty enhancement, and baccalaureate level science degree programs at SKC. Given the composition of SKC's student population, implementation of this RISE program plan will result in increased minority student enrollment in the sciences. Successful progress through science degree programs will be enhanced by providing students with exposure to a variety of bioscience and health-related research environments, offering students opportunities for "hands-on" training, and developing faculty-initiated research collaboration with experienced scientists at other research institutions, which will, in turn, allow SKC students the critical contacts often necessary to enter and be successful in research-based graduate studies at major colleges and universities. SKC has defined specific numerical goals for the course of its MBRS activities and will organize an external advisory committee to evaluate the college's progress during the MBRS funding period. By equipping a multi-user biosciences laboratory and implementing the herein proposed RISE plan, the MBRS goal of increasing minority participation in bioscience, bio-behavioral, and health-related research will be achieved at Salish Kootenai College.

描述(申请人提供)：萨利什库特奈学院(SKC)是一所四年制的部落学院，位于蒙大拿州西部的Flathead印第安人保留地。SKC为1000多名学生提供学士学位、副学士学位和证书课程，其中75%以上来自美洲原住民和其他少数族裔群体。SKC的生物科学、生物行为和健康相关课程正在增长，但规模仍然很小，缺乏足够的学生研究机会，学生接触专业研究环境和培训，以及高级课程作业，以支持希望攻读生物科学高级学位或生物技术职业的学生。改善科学课程设置，为学生提供本科研究机会，扩大和改善实验室设施，让学生接触到各种专业研究环境，不仅将吸引新学生进入SKC的科学学位课程，还将为那些正在考虑在生物医学或健康相关研究领域攻读研究生或未来职业生涯的现有学生培养更成功的结果。 这项建议的目的是利用NIH-NIGMS MBRS-RISE拨款机制，通过实现以下四个具体的可衡量目标来补充SKC由教师驱动的生物科学、生物行为和健康相关研究计划。具体目标1：为学生在生物医学、生物行为和健康相关研究项目中的研究活动提供支持机制。具体目标2：让学生接触到专业的科学环境，包括会议、研讨会和生物医学相关学科的专门培训。具体目标3：促进与活跃的研究机构和SKC内部经验丰富的科学家的专业合作，这将导致SKC学生在校内外暑期实习中的安置，并将为进入研究生学位课程提供关键联系人。具体目标4：将上面列出的RISE目标与持续的科学课程发展相结合，从而在SKC的生物科学、师资增强和学士学位水平的科学学位课程中实现“无缝”的转学计划。 考虑到SKC的学生人口构成，实施这一RISE计划将导致理科少数民族学生入学人数的增加。通过为学生提供接触各种生物科学和与健康相关的研究环境，为学生提供“动手”培训的机会，以及与其他研究机构经验丰富的科学家发展教职员工发起的研究合作，将促进通过科学学位计划取得成功的进展，这反过来将使SKC学生获得进入主要学院和大学以研究为基础的研究生学习并取得成功所需的关键联系。 SKC已经为其MBRS活动确定了具体的数字目标，并将组织一个外部咨询委员会来评估学院在MBRS资助期内的进展情况。通过装备一个多用户生物科学实验室并实施这里提出的RISE计划，Salish Kotenai学院将实现MBRS目标，即增加少数人参与生物科学、生物行为和健康相关研究。
