DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Salish Kootenai College (SKC) is a tribal college located on the Flathead Indian Reservation in western Montana. SKC currently offers 8 Bachelor's degree programs, 11 Associate's degree programs, and 7 Certificate of Completion programs. Typically, the student body size averages approximately 900-1000 students and between 50-100 Tribes are represented in any given academic year. This proposal is a renewal of an NIGMS RISE first awarded to SKC in 2006 (RISE I) that successfully developed and implemented an academically rigorous Associate of Science degree aimed at successful "2+2" matriculation of Native American students into the junior year at mainstream institutions and institutionalized a research culture at SKC. Building on the momentum of RISE I, SKC is requesting support for this RISE renewal (RISE II) with the following specific aims: 1) Engage students in a new, rigorous BS degree in Life Science that allows students to develop knowledge and skills required for advancement towards graduate programs, and 2) Increase the retention and academic success of American Indian students in tracks leading to PhD degrees in biomedical. Components of this new degree will include strong academic and social integration activities, both of which have been shown to be important in underrepresented minorities succeeding in the sciences. These include: inquiry-based coursework using recognized educational best practices, comprehensive research lab experience with intensive one-on-one student mentoring, development of critical thinking, presentation skills, and participation in national science meetings, all within the cultural framework of a tribal college that promotes program retention. Working in concert with this RISE II proposal are other, synergistic SKC programs, such as a new NSF-STEEP award to develop a BS (Secondary Education) to train Native high school science teachers and an ongoing NSF TCUP that has contributed to the development of both the BS (LS) and BS (Computer Engineering) programs. This proposal also includes a comprehensive evaluation plan to track the success of the program. This will be the first biological science-based Bachelor's degree to be offered at a tribal college and its support is critical to increasing numbers of Native students entering bioscience PhD programs at mainstream institutions. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This project seeks funds to support a new BS (Life Sciences) degree program at Salish Kootenai College (SKC), a tribal college on the Flathead Reservation in Montana. Support of this project will increase the numbers of Native Americans entering into and completing biomedical PhD programs. This will provide a pipeline for trained professionals culturally competent to address issues of health (diabetes, heart disease, obesity) among underserved, Native populations.

描述（由申请人提供）：Salish Kootenai学院（SKC）是一所位于蒙大拿州西部平头印第安人保留地的部落学院。SKC目前提供8个学士学位课程，11个副学士学位课程和7个结业证书课程。通常情况下，学生人数平均约900-1000名学生和50-100部落之间的代表在任何给定的学年。 该提案是2006年首次授予SKC的NIGMS RISE（RISE I）的更新，该计划成功开发并实施了一个学术严谨的科学学位，旨在成功地将美国原住民学生的“2+2”入学到主流机构的大三，并在SKC建立了研究文化。 在RISE I势头的基础上，SKC正在请求支持此RISE更新（RISE II），具体目标如下：1）让学生参与生命科学新的，严格的学士学位，使学生能够发展研究生课程所需的知识和技能，以及2）增加美国印第安学生的保留率和学术成功导致生物医学博士学位。这一新学位的组成部分将包括强大的学术和社会融合活动，这两者都已被证明是在科学成功的代表性不足的少数民族的重要。其中包括：基于探究的课程使用公认的教育最佳实践，全面的研究实验室经验，密集的一对一的学生指导，批判性思维，演讲技巧的发展，并参加国家科学会议，所有这些都在促进计划保留的部落学院的文化框架内。与此RISE II提案相配合的是其他协同SKC计划，例如新的NSF-STEEP奖，用于开发BS（中学教育）以培训本地高中科学教师，以及正在进行的NSF TCUP，为BS（LS）和BS（计算机工程）计划的发展做出了贡献。该提案还包括一个全面的评估计划，以跟踪该计划的成功。这将是部落学院提供的第一个生物科学学士学位，其支持对于越来越多的土著学生进入主流机构的生物科学博士课程至关重要。 公共卫生关系：该项目寻求资金来支持蒙大拿州平头保留地的部落学院Salish Kootenai College（SKC）的新理学学士（生命科学）学位课程。对该项目的支持将增加进入和完成生物医学博士课程的美洲原住民人数。这将为训练有素的专业人员提供一个渠道，使他们在文化上有能力解决得不到充分服务的土著人口的健康问题（糖尿病、心脏病、肥胖症）。
