Project Summary/Abstract The objective of the proposed project is to increase the transfer of Native American students from accredited 2-year degree-granting institutions to baccalaureate degree programs in biomedical and behavioral sciences with the ultimate goal to aid these students in attaining their baccalaureate degrees. The program resides at Northern Arizona University (NAU) and partners with Coconino Community College (CCC); both institutions are located in Flagstaff, AZ. In 2008, NAU and CCC began a transfer program called CCC2NAU, which creates a seamless transition for students at CCC to NAU by matriculating in both institutions with shared resources for the students. NAU’s geographic location is ideal for enhancing the academic experiences of Native American students since Flagstaff is considered a border town for the Navajo and Hopi Nations and is near the White River Apache and Hualapai Nations. With allegiance to Native American student excellence by NAU and CCC and an exemplary geographic location to several tribal lands, the Bridging Arizona Native American Students to Bachelor Degrees program provides a pathway for Native American students to pursue biomedical and behavioral science careers. The proposed T34 program will administer academic year training and professional development in writing, communication, and enhancement of reproducibility along with hands-on research experiences. Additionally, the program will focus on student advising and mentorship and will connect Native American science role models with the burgeoning student researchers. The program is centered on a 24-month experience for Native American students who will be recruited in their first year at CCC. The structure of the program will provide support to three Bridges scholars during their sophomore year at CCC, and three Bridges scholars who have transferred to NAU during their junior year. In addition to recruiting through CCC programs, the proposed program will network with regional high schools with high Native American student enrollment to recruit motivated students. The program will counsel Bridges scholars at NAU during their junior year to identify and apply for financial support in their senior year to enable biomedical or behavioral science degree completion while exploring graduate training opportunities. As an eight-year R25 grant, we trained more than 54 Native American students and successfully transitioned 46% of these students to 4-year baccalaureate programs. Our goal in this T34 application is to improve the percentage to 70% transfer rates of Bridges participants. We believe with 24 months of strategic support and the reconfiguration of the program, this goal is achievable. Programmatic modifications for the T34 application were guided by the evaluation of the R25 program.

项目摘要/摘要 拟议项目的目标是增加美洲原住民学生从 经认可的两年制学位授予机构，在生物医学和 行为科学，最终目标是帮助这些学生获得学士学位。 该项目位于北亚利桑那大学(NAU)，并与Coconino社区合作 这两所大学都位于亚利桑那州的弗拉格斯塔夫。2008年，NAU和CCC开始了一项转移 名为CCC2NAU的计划，通过以下方式为CCC的学生创建到NAU的无缝过渡 在两所学校录取，为学生共享资源。NAU的地理位置是 由于弗拉格斯塔夫被认为是加强美洲原住民学生学术体验的理想选择 纳瓦霍族和霍皮族的边境城镇，靠近白河、阿帕奇和瓦拉派 国家。NAU和CCC对美洲原住民优秀学生的忠诚和模范 亚利桑那州美洲原住民学生与单身汉之间的地理位置 学位课程为美洲原住民学生提供了一条攻读生物医学和行为学的途径 科学事业。拟议的T34项目将管理学年培训和专业人员 在写作、交流和提高可重复性方面的发展，以及动手实践 研究经验。此外，该计划将侧重于学生咨询和指导，并将 将美国原住民科学榜样与新兴的学生研究人员联系起来。该计划是 重点是为将在第一年被招收的美洲原住民学生提供24个月的体验 在CCC。该方案的结构将在三名桥梁学者的研究期间向他们提供支持 大学二年级，三名布里奇斯奖学金获得者在大学三年级时转到北卡罗来纳大学 年。除了通过CCC计划招聘外，拟议的计划还将与各地区建立网络 美国原住民学生入学率高的高中招收有积极性的学生。该计划 是否会在北卡罗来纳大学的大三期间为布里奇斯学者提供咨询，以确定并申请 他们在大四完成生物医学或行为科学学位，同时探索毕业生 培训机会。作为一项为期八年的R25助学金，我们培训了54名美洲原住民学生 并成功地将46%的学生过渡到4年制学士学位课程。我们在这方面的目标 T34的应用是将桥梁参与者的转移率提高到70%。我们相信 在24个月的战略支持和计划的重新配置下，这一目标是可以实现的。 对T34应用程序的程序修改是由对R25程序的评估指导的。
