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）：这个持续的项目是代表一个财团的机构，包括蒙大拿州立大学，博兹曼和蒙大拿州的部落学院：黑脚社区学院，首席钝刀学院，Aaniih Nakoda学院（原堡Belknap学院），佩克堡社区学院，小大角学院，Salish Kootenai学院，和石头孩子学院成立于1983年。美国印第安人研究机会（AIRO）联盟的具体目标是加强与蒙大拿部落学院的现有合作伙伴关系，以加强本土科学毕业生和科学课程的竞争力，从而使更多的美国本土学生在生物医学和行为科学学位的四年制学士学位课程中获得入学资格，并最终增加这些学生在这些职业领域的毕业生。AIRO桥梁项目将专注于实现以下目标：（1）通过促进培训和研讨会，增强部落学院合作伙伴的研究能力，以及在机构之间共享和调整课程（包括研究方法和负责任的研究课程），在部落学院和密歇根州立大学教师之间建立协作与合作。项目目标包括：a）每年为部落学院的教职员工提供两次讲习班，让他们一起研究课程和课程表（每个部落学院两名，共14名教员）; B）为部落学院教员提供资金，通过培训、旅行、薪金发放时间和/或设备，发展其研究能力（每年4000美元）; c）提供MSU研究教师的机会，前往每个部落学院（7个研究会谈;每个部落学院一个。(2)为所有机构的美洲原住民学生提供机会，通过个人网络、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。(3)培养部落学院的批判性思维和研究技能 通过为期8周的暑期研究经验，在生物医学和行为科学研究的4年研究所的学生，包括提供学术技能丰富的机会，如学习技能，时间管理，内容丰富（研究项目内）教学部落大学生，和写作。具体目标2和3的项目目标包括： 发展经常性的电子网络空间（每月一次）供各院校学生使用（Facebook，Skype，视频会议）; B）招募15名学生在MSU和SKC进行暑期研究经验（现为四年制学士学位授予机构）; c）通过暑期研究经验提高学生的研究和学术能力; d）将75%的学生转到生物医学和行为科学学科的4年制学位课程; e）提高桥梁学生的毕业率，以满足美国原住民学生的MSU校园率（35%）; f）为美洲土著科学学生提供一个面对面展示研究和网络的区域机会。在过去的九年里，密歇根州立大学的AIRO NIH资助的桥梁项目已经将66%的参与部落大学生转移到4年制学位课程，并使其中24%的学生毕业。通过集中努力实现这些扩大的具体目标，75%的转学率和35%的毕业率是可以实现的。
