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.

抽象的 巨大的资源和基础设施差距阻碍了原住民获得健康和公共服务 美国普通民众享受的医疗服务。制定与文化相关的建设方法 健康的社区，原住民需要更多的原住民卫生专业人员和研究人员 行使主权并实现卫生公平。然而，对于有抱负的农村卫生专业人员来说 保留、教育和培训机会有限。从 2017 年到 2020 年，纳瓦霍原住民 健康研究中心 (NARCH) 合作伙伴关系的 SEP 建立了一个关键组成部分并将其制度化 纳瓦霍学生的教育途径，特别是公共卫生理学学士学位 (BSPH) 迪内学院和公共卫生硕士 (MPH) 项目中的土著健康专业 北亚利桑那大学（NAU）。这些计划是开展活动所需的基础设施的基础 相关的、基于证据的健康研究，并向纳瓦霍人提供基本的公共卫生服务。 以SEP评价为依据，认识到培养一代学前学生选拔人才的必要性 公共卫生和健康研究作为一种职业，并确定职业发展的重要性 在本科生、研究生和博士后水平上，纳瓦霍 NARCH SEP 的总体目标 （2021-2025）是建立和维持与健康研究相关的“从教育到职业途径” 和纳瓦霍族的公共卫生需求。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，让学生了解并接触这些角色 以及健康相关专业的职业道路； 2) 通过开发扩大迪内学院 BSPH 项目 额外的当地研究经验，加强学术技能并与研究生课程保持一致， 并在纳瓦霍族保留地的六个校区之间建立联系，以更好地支持学生的学习和 发展; 3) 调整 NAU MPH 计划土著健康 (IH) 重点，以与实践保持一致 纳瓦霍族卫生部、印第安人卫生服务中心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，培养成功的外部技能 资助的研究职业专注于纳瓦霍族的健康公平。 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 通过正在进行的社区项目提供体验式学习和培训机会。 参与卫生服务和积极研究使学生能够应用他们的知识并建立 专业联系。项目影响将通过学生入学率、学位进行定量跟踪 奖励、成就（就业安置、研究生院和提交的补助金）和质量，通过 学生的声音记录与学业成功和所学技能应用相关的因素。
