PROJECT SUMMARY The Haskell-KU Bridge V Program supports students from Haskell Indian Nations University who seek to develop careers in biomedical, bioengineering, behavioral and environmental health fields by transferring to the University of Kansas (KU) to access degree options not available at Haskell. This 20-year old program has a history of collaboration between institutions, as well as among other NIH- training and workforce development programs, to ensure a high rate of American Indian and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) achieve Bachelor’s degrees in STEM fields that can lead to biomedical careers. The overarching goal is for AI/AN trainees to see a place for themselves in bioscience careers, to build the skills and resources they need to succeed, and to create a compassionate community of mentors invested in the success of trainees. This vision is accomplished through four objectives, which may be conceptualized as forming a staircase to help students unlock their chosen bioscience career. First, the applicant pool will be expanded by increasing program visibility and appeal to the particular needs of AI/AN Haskell students (Objective 1). The program will produce well-trained AI/AN scientists through an integrated succession of skills training, mentored research, and professional development activities (Objective 2). Program activities are designed to build a strong cohort of trainees that develop a sense of science identity, self-efficacy, and connection with the KU and broader scientific community (Objective 3). KU mentors will be prepared for meeting the unique needs of Haskell trainees by providing evidence-based mentor orientation and training (Objective 4). This program renewal puts an increased emphasis on sequential training and meeting the specific needs of AI/AN trainees with a focus on: 1) developing interest in the program by creating and event with Distinguished Native Scientists describing how their work contributes to improving Native communities, 2) connecting students to the Kansas biocareers ecosystem through programming from a public-private partnership, 3) the increased use of career and professional development tools early in the trainee’s development, by implementing activities from the Entering Research curriculum, 4) closer interactions with program alumni to better build communities of practice, which are informal mentoring and learning communities, and 5) technical, operational and professional skills development through a detailed two-year sequence designed to create close cohorts of students. Program activities will be integrative with those of other existing diversity-promoting KU programs such as the newly funded NIH Maximizing Access to Research Careers (MARC) program, expanding the community accessed by Bridge trainees at KU. The sequential, additive nature of these objectives builds a program that students engage with in three phases: 1) pre-Bridge, 2) the Basic Skills Year (Year 1), and 3) the Community Building Year (Year 2). Completing these three phases allows for a higher success rate for Haskell trainees to transfer to KU and complete their degrees by building both confidence and community.

项目概要 Haskell-KU Bridge V 计划为哈斯克尔印第安民族大学的学生提供支持，帮助他们寻求 通过转学到生物医学、生物工程、行为和环境健康领域发展职业 堪萨斯大学 (KU) 获得 Haskell 没有的学位选择。这个有20年历史的节目 拥有机构之间以及其他 NIH 培训和劳动力之间合作的历史 发展计划，以确保美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民 (AI/AN) 的高比例实现 STEM 领域的学士学位可以带来生物医学职业生涯。总体目标是 AI/AN 学员在生物科学职业中找到自己的位置，培养他们所需的技能和资源 成功，并创建一个富有同情心的导师社区，投资于学员的成功。这 愿景是通过四个目标来实现的，这些目标可以被概念化为形成一个楼梯来帮助 学生解锁他们选择的生物科学职业。首先，通过增加申请人数量来扩大申请人库。 项目的知名度和对 AI/AN Haskell 学生特殊需求的吸引力（目标 1）。该计划将 通过一系列综合技能培训、指导研究、 和专业发展活动（目标 2）。计划活动旨在建立一支强大的队伍 培养科学认同感、自我效能感以及与 KU 和更广泛领域的联系的学员 科学界（目标 3）。 KU 导师将为满足 Haskell 的独特需求做好准备 为受训者提供循证导师指导和培训（目标 4）。本计划续订 更加重视顺序培训并满足 AI/AN 学员的特定需求 重点关注：1）通过与杰出本土科学家一起创建活动并培养对该计划的兴趣 描述他们的工作如何有助于改善原住民社区，2）将学生与堪萨斯州联系起来 通过公私合作伙伴关系规划的生物职业生态系统，3）增加职业的使用 和专业发展工具，在学员发展的早期，通过实施来自 进入研究课程，4）与项目校友进行更密切的互动，以更好地建立社区 实践，这是非正式的指导和学习社区，以及 5) 技术、操作和 通过详细的两年序列进行专业技能发展，旨在创建紧密的团队 学生。项目活动将与其他现有的促进多样性的 KU 项目相结合 例如新资助的 NIH 最大化研究职业机会 (MARC) 计划，扩大了 KU 的 Bridge 学员访问的社区。这些目标的连续性、累加性构建了一个 学生分三个阶段参与的课程：1) 预科课程，2) 基本技能年（第一年），以及 3) 社区建设年（第二年）。完成这三个阶段可以提高成功率 Haskell 学员将转学到 KU，通过建立信心和社区来完成学位。
