MSBRS RISE Program at Haskell Indian Nations University

描述（由申请人提供）：哈斯克尔申请更新其最初的RISE I项目，其基础是RISE I所奠定的基础，其目标是增加来自哈斯克尔的获得科学学位并被博士学位的美国印第安学生的数量。RISE II提出的研究型教育计划包括：1)学生学术发展；2)加强对学生成功的支持和辅导；3)夏季科学院；4)学生研究活动。学生学术发展计划利用计算机辅助的数学和英语个性化模块系统，迅速将哈斯克尔学生的能力提高到大学科学和数学课程所需的水平。学生支持服务，包括卓越辅导和学术和职业咨询，已作为RISE II的新组成部分增加。将设立暑期科学学院，作为培训RISE学者的重要组成部分。该学院包括研究方法和设计实验课程以及负责任的研究研讨会，为学者进入堪萨斯大学教师研究实验室做准备。RISE II的最后一个组成部分是将在堪萨斯大学有研究经验的学者与堪萨斯大学其他更多支持项目（Bridge， IMSD， PREP和IRACDA）的参与者结合在一起。目标和目的的形成性评估将由堪萨斯大学和Haskell的评估小组进行，结果每半年向由Haskell主要人员组成的内部咨询委员会提交一次。总之，RISE II以RISE I的成功为基础，引入了几项新举措，以提高美国印第安学生在科学领域的成功，并利用与邻近的研究I机构的现有合作，其总体目标是为科学界增加有才华的美国印第安学生。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Haskell's application for renewal of its initial RISE I program builds on groundwork laid by RISE I with the goal of increasing the number of American Indian students from Haskell who earn degrees in the sciences and are accepted into Ph.D. programs. The research education plan presented in RISE II includes 1) student academic development; 2) enhanced student support and tutoring for success; 3) a summer science academy; and 4) student research activities. The student academic development program utilizes a computer-aided individualized module system in math and English to rapidly bring Haskell students' competency to the level required for university science and math courses. Student support services including tutoring for excellence and academic and career counseling have been added as new component of RISE II. A Summer Science Academy will be instituted as a keystone component for training RISE scholars. The academy includes a research methods and design laboratory course and responsible conduct of research seminar to prepare scholars for entry into KU faculty research labs. The final component of RISE II places scholars in research experiences at KU alongside and integrated with participants in other MORE supported programs at KU (Bridge, IMSD, PREP, and IRACDA). Formative evaluation of goals and objectives will be carried out by an evaluation team from KU and Haskell and outcomes presented semi-annually to an Internal Advisory Committee composed of key Haskell personnel. In summary, RISE II builds on the successes of RISE I, introduces several new initiatives to increase the success of American Indian students in the sciences, and exploits existing collaborations with a neighboring Research I institution with the overall goal of adding talented American Indian students to the scientific community.
