MSBRS RISE Program at Haskell Indian Nations University

描述(由申请人提供)：哈斯克尔申请续签其最初的Rise I项目是建立在Rise I奠定的基础上的，目标是增加来自Haskell的获得理科学位并被博士项目录取的美国印第安人学生的数量。RISE II中提出的研究教育计划包括1)学生学术发展；2)加强学生支持和成功辅导；3)暑期科学学院；以及4)学生研究活动。学生学术发展计划利用计算机辅助的数学和英语个性化模块系统，迅速将哈斯克尔学生的能力提高到大学科学和数学课程所要求的水平。作为RISE II的新组成部分，增加了学生支持服务，包括卓越辅导和学术和职业咨询。将设立一个夏季科学学院，作为培训RISE学者的关键组成部分。学院包括研究方法和设计实验室课程以及负责举办研究研讨会，为学者进入KU教职员工研究实验室做准备。RISE II的最后一个组成部分将学者与KU其他更受支持的项目(Bridge、IMSD、PREP和IRACDA)的参与者一起放置在KU的研究经验中，并将其整合在一起。目标和目的的形成性评价将由KU和Haskell的评价小组进行，结果每半年提交一次，由Haskell关键人员组成的内部咨询委员会。总而言之，RISE II在RISE I的成功基础上，推出了几项新的举措，以增加美国印第安人学生在科学方面的成功，并利用与邻近的Research I机构的现有合作，总体目标是将有才华的美国印第安人学生增加到科学界。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Haskell's application for renewal of its initial RISE I program builds on groundwork laid by RISE I with the goal of increasing the number of American Indian students from Haskell who earn degrees in the sciences and are accepted into Ph.D. programs. The research education plan presented in RISE II includes 1) student academic development; 2) enhanced student support and tutoring for success; 3) a summer science academy; and 4) student research activities. The student academic development program utilizes a computer-aided individualized module system in math and English to rapidly bring Haskell students' competency to the level required for university science and math courses. Student support services including tutoring for excellence and academic and career counseling have been added as new component of RISE II. A Summer Science Academy will be instituted as a keystone component for training RISE scholars. The academy includes a research methods and design laboratory course and responsible conduct of research seminar to prepare scholars for entry into KU faculty research labs. The final component of RISE II places scholars in research experiences at KU alongside and integrated with participants in other MORE supported programs at KU (Bridge, IMSD, PREP, and IRACDA). Formative evaluation of goals and objectives will be carried out by an evaluation team from KU and Haskell and outcomes presented semi-annually to an Internal Advisory Committee composed of key Haskell personnel. In summary, RISE II builds on the successes of RISE I, introduces several new initiatives to increase the success of American Indian students in the sciences, and exploits existing collaborations with a neighboring Research I institution with the overall goal of adding talented American Indian students to the scientific community.
