DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This continuing project is submitted on behalf of a consortium of institutions including Montana State University-Bozeman and Montana's Tribal Colleges: Blackfeet Community College, Chief Dull Knife College, Aaniih Nakoda College (formerly Fort Belknap College), Fort Peck Community College, Little Big Horn College, Salish Kootenai College, and Stone Child College that was established in 1983. The specific goal of the American Indian Research Opportunities (AIRO) consortium is to enhance existing partnerships with Montana Tribal Colleges in order to strengthen competiveness of Native science graduates and science programs leading to matriculation of more Native American students in four year baccalaureate programs in biomedical and behavioral science degrees and ultimately an increase in these students graduating in these career fields. The AIRO Bridges project will focus on the achieving the following aims: (1) Build collaboration and cooperation between tribal college and MSU faculty by facilitating trainings and workshops, enhancing research capabilities of tribal college partners, and sharing and aligning curriculum between institutions (including research methodology and responsible conduct of research courses). Project objectives include a) Offer two workshops per year for tribal college faculty to come together to work on courses and curriculum (two from each tribal college for a total of 14 faculty); b) Provide monies for tribal college faculty to develop their research capacity through training, travel, salary release time and/or equipment ($4000 per year); c) Provide MSU research faculty opportunities to travel to each tribal college (7 research talks; one at each tribl college.) (2) Provide opportunities for Native American students at all institutions to develop as cohort of scientists through in person networking, electronic social networks and video teleconference (Skype) methods. (3) Develop critical thinking and research skills of tribal college students through an 8 week summer research experience at a 4-year institute in biomedical and behavioral science research, including providing academic skills enrichment opportunities for tribal college students such as instruction in study skills, time management, content enrichment (within the research project), and writing. Project objectives for specific aim 2 and 3 include: a) Develop regular electronic networking space (once a month) for student use between institutions (Facebook, Skype, Videoconferencing); b) Recruit 15 students for summer research experience at MSU and SKC (now a four-year baccalaureate granting institution); c) Increase research and academic capabilities of students through summer research experiences; d) Transfer 75% of students to 4-year degree programs in biomedical and behavioral sciences disciplines; e) Increase graduation rate of Bridges students to meet MSU campus rate for Native American students (35%); f) Provide Native American science students with one regional opportunity to present research and network face-to-face. In the last nine years, MSU's AIRO NIH funded Bridges programs have transferred 66 percent of participating tribal college students to 4-year degree programs and graduated 24 percent of these students. By focusing efforts on these expanded specific aims, the goals of a 75% transfer rate and 35% graduation rate are attainable.

描述（由申请人提供）：该持续项目代表包括蒙大拿州立大学博兹曼分校和蒙大拿州部落学院在内的机构联盟提交：Blackfeet Community College、Chief Dull Knife College、Aaniih Nakoda College（原贝尔纳普堡学院）、Fort Peck Community College、Little Big Horn College、Salish Kootenai College 和 Stone Child College（成立于 1983 年）。美洲印第安人研究的具体目标机会 (AIRO) 联盟将加强与蒙大拿州部落学院的现有合作伙伴关系，以增强本土科学毕业生和科学项目的竞争力，从而让更多美国原住民学生入读生物医学和行为科学学位的四年制学士学位课程，并最终增加这些职业领域的毕业生数量。 AIRO Bridges 项目将重点实现以下目标：(1) 通过促进培训和研讨会、提高部落学院合作伙伴的研究能力以及在机构之间共享和协调课程（包括研究方法和负责任地开展研究课程），建立部落学院和密歇根州立大学教师之间的协作与合作。项目目标包括 a) 每年为部落学院教师举办两次研讨会，让他们聚集在一起研究课程和课程（每个部落学院举办两次，总共 14 名教师）； b) 为部落学院教职人员提供资金，通过培训、旅行、工资发放时间和/或设备来发展他们的研究能力（每年 4000 美元）； c) 为密歇根州立大学研究人员提供前往每个部落学院的机会（7 次研究讲座；每个部落学院一次。） (2) 为所有机构的美国原住民学生提供通过面对面网络、电子社交网络和视频电话会议 (Skype) 方法发展成为科学家群体的机会。 (3) 培养部落学院的批判性思维和研究技能 学生在为期 4 年的生物医学和行为科学研究机构进行为期 8 周的暑期研究体验，包括为部落大学生提供学术技能丰富的机会，例如学习技能、时间管理、内容丰富（在研究项目内）和写作方面的指导。具体目标 2 和 3 的项目目标包括： 开发定期电子网络空间（每月一次）供学生在机构之间使用（Facebook、Skype、视频会议）； b) 招收 15 名学生，在 MSU 和 SKC（现为四年制学士学位授予机构）进行暑期研究体验； c) 通过暑期研究经历提高学生的研究和学术能力； d) 将75%的学生转入生物医学和行为科学学科的4年制学位课程； e) 提高 Bridges 学生的毕业率，以达到 MSU 校园美国原住民学生的毕业率 (35%)； f) 为美洲原住民理科学生提供一个面对面展示研究成果和建立人际网络的区域机会。在过去的九年里，密歇根州立大学的 AIRO NIH 资助的 Bridges 项目已将 66% 的参与部落大学生转入四年制学位课程，其中 24% 的学生毕业。通过集中精力实现这些扩展的具体目标，75% 的转学率和 35% 的毕业率的目标是可以实现的。
