ABSTRACT Significant resource and infrastructural disparities hinder Native populations’ access to the health and public health services enjoyed by the general U.S. population. To develop culturally relevant approaches to building healthy communities, more Native health professionals and researchers are needed for Native Nations to exercise their sovereignty and to achieve health equity. Yet, for aspiring health professionals on rural reservations, education and training opportunities are limited. From 2017-2020, the Navajo Native American Research Center for Health (NARCH) Partnership’s SEP built and institutionalized key components of an educational pathway for Navajo students, specifically a Bachelor of Science degree in Public Health (BSPH) at Diné College and the Indigenous Health concentration within the Master’s in Public Health (MPH) program at Northern Arizona University (NAU). These programs are foundational to the infrastructure needed to conduct relevant, evidence-based health research and provide essential public health services to the Navajo people. Informed by SEP evaluation, recognizing the need to cultivate a generation of pre-college students to select public health and health research as a profession, and identifying the importance of professional development at the undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral levels, the overarching goal of Navajo NARCH SEP (2021-2025) is to build and sustain an “education to profession pathway” pertinent to health research and public health needs of the Navajo Nation. The Navajo NARCH SEP specific aims are to: 1) Expand NARCH collaborations with high schools and related organizations to inform and expose students to the roles and career paths of health-related professions; 2) Expand the Diné College BSPH program by developing additional local research experiences, strengthening academic skills and alignment with graduate programs, and building connections across six campuses on Navajo Nation to better support student learning and development; 3) Adapt the NAU MPH program Indigenous Health (IH) concentration, to align with the practice and research needs of the Navajo Nation Department of Health, Indian Health Service and Diné College and 4) Mentor recent Navajo post-doctoral fellows or Early Stage Investigators to build skills for successful, externally funded research careers focused on health equity for the Navajo Nation. SEP will leverage existing academic and professional partnerships and coordinate with the NARCH Administrative Core and pilot research projects to provide experiential learning and training opportunities with on-going and community-based projects. Engagement with health services and active research allows students to apply their knowledge and build professional contacts. Project impact will be tracked quantitatively, through student enrollment, degrees awarded, accomplishments (job placement, graduate school and grants submitted) and qualitatively, through student voice documenting factors associated with academic success and application of learned skill sets.

摘要 巨大的资源和基础设施差距阻碍了土著人口获得卫生和公共服务 美国普通民众享有的医疗服务。开发与文化相关的方法来构建 原住民需要健康的社区，更多的原住民卫生专业人员和研究人员 行使主权，实现卫生公平。然而，对于有抱负的农村卫生专业人员来说， 预订、教育和培训机会有限。从2017-2020年间，纳瓦霍印第安人 卫生研究中心(NARCH)伙伴关系的SEP建立并制度化了 纳瓦霍族学生的教育途径，特别是公共卫生(BSPH)理科学士学位，网址为 Diné学院和公共卫生硕士(公共卫生硕士)项目中的土著卫生集中 北亚利桑那大学(NAU)。这些计划是执行以下任务所需的基础设施的基础 开展相关的循证卫生研究，并向纳瓦霍人民提供基本的公共卫生服务。 了解SEP评估，认识到需要培养一代预科学生进行选拔 将公共卫生和健康研究作为一种职业，并确定专业发展的重要性 在本科生、研究生和博士后层面，纳瓦霍·纳奇SEP的首要目标是 (2021-2025年)是建立和维持一条与卫生研究有关的“教育向职业发展的道路” 和纳瓦霍民族的公共卫生需求。纳瓦霍NARCH SEP的具体目标是：1)扩大 NARCH与高中和相关组织合作，告知学生并让他们接触到这些角色 和健康相关职业的职业道路；2)扩大DinéCollege BSPH方案，开发 更多的本地研究经验，加强学术技能并与研究生课程保持一致， 并在纳瓦霍民族的六个校区建立联系，以更好地支持学生学习和 发展；3)调整NAU公共卫生计划土著健康(IH)浓度，以符合实践 和纳瓦霍国家卫生部、印度卫生局和迪内学院的研究需求，以及4) 指导最近的纳瓦霍博士后研究员或早期研究人员，以培养成功的技能，外部 受资助的研究职业侧重于纳瓦霍民族的健康公平。SEP将利用现有的学术 和专业伙伴关系，并与NARCH行政核心和试点研究项目进行协调 通过正在进行的以社区为基础的项目提供体验式学习和培训机会。 参与健康服务和积极的研究使学生能够应用他们的知识并建立 职业联系人。项目影响将通过学生注册、学位等进行量化跟踪 奖励、成就(就业安排、研究生院和提交的助学金)和质量，通过 学生声音记录与学业成功和所学技能应用相关的因素。
