Science & Health: Ascertaining Research Education (SHARE) Consortium

描述(由申请人提供)：科学与健康：确定研究教育(SHARE)联盟的目的是为美国印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民本科生(AI/AN)建立生物医学/健康管道机制。SHARE联盟由以下合作者组成：美国印第安人研究和教育中心(AIREC)内华达大学拉斯维加斯分校(UNLV)社区健康科学学院(初级机构)，斯通儿童学院(部落学院)，基韦诺湾奥吉布瓦社区学院(部落学院)和南内华达州学院(社区学院)。SHARE联盟将设计一项计划，包括目前正在攻读副学士学位的AI/AN学生，通过为大学合作伙伴提供校园/在线课程，扩大科学导师，以及加强教职员工和学生的研究技能建设，过渡到有指导的严格生物医学/健康研究轨道。目标1：加强SHARE联盟的机构基础设施，增加美国印第安人/阿拉斯加土著在生物医学/卫生领域的四年制学位。目标2：发展合作渠道努力，重点是为美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民学生提供研究教师指导，其中包括严格的生物医学/健康研究机会。目标3：确定与Share合作的其他部落学院。活动将包括但不限于，确定教师和行政合作伙伴，评估研究 资源(实验室和教师/导师)，以及评估学术项目。这些活动将确保构建计划具有最大的协同效应

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of the Science and Health: Ascertaining Research Education (SHARE) Consortium is to produce a biomedical/health pipeline mechanism for undergraduate American Indian/Alaska Native students (AI/AN).The SHARE Consortium consists of the following collaborators: American Indian Research and Education Center (AIREC) University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) within the School of Community Health Sciences (Primary Institution), Stone Child College (Tribal College), Keweenaw Bay Ojibwa Community College (Tribal College) and College of Southern Nevada (Community College). The SHARE Consortium will design a program that will encompass AI/AN students currently in Associate degree programs to transition into a mentored rigorous biomedical/health research track, through the extension of on-campus/on-line course offerings for college partners, expansion of scientific mentors and increased research skill building for faculty and students. Aim 1: Strengthen the institutional infrastructures of the SHARE Consortium to increase 4 year degrees for American Indian/Alaska Natives in areas of biomedical/health. Aim 2: Develop collaborative pipeline efforts that focus on research faculty mentoring for American Indian/Alaska Native students which encompasses rigorous biomedical/health research opportunities. Aim 3: Identify additional Tribal Colleges to collaborate with SHARE. Activities wil include, but not be limited to, identifying faculty and administrative partners, assessing research resources (labs and faculty/mentors), and assessing academic programs. These activities will ensure that there is maximum synergy for the BUILD program
