DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This continuing project is submitted on behalf of a consortium of institutions including Montana State University-Bozeman and Montana's Tribal Colleges: Blackfeet Community College, Chief Dull Knife College, Aaniih Nakoda College (formerly Fort Belknap College), Fort Peck Community College, Little Big Horn College, Salish Kootenai College, and Stone Child College that was established in 1983. The specific goal of the American Indian Research Opportunities (AIRO) consortium is to enhance existing partnerships with Montana Tribal Colleges in order to strengthen competiveness of Native science graduates and science programs leading to matriculation of more Native American students in four year baccalaureate programs in biomedical and behavioral science degrees and ultimately an increase in these students graduating in these career fields. The AIRO Bridges project will focus on the achieving the following aims: (1) Build collaboration and cooperation between tribal college and MSU faculty by facilitating trainings and workshops, enhancing research capabilities of tribal college partners, and sharing and aligning curriculum between institutions (including research methodology and responsible conduct of research courses). Project objectives include a) Offer two workshops per year for tribal college faculty to come together to work on courses and curriculum (two from each tribal college for a total of 14 faculty); b) Provide monies for tribal college faculty to develop their research capacity through training, travel, salary release time and/or equipment ($4000 per year); c) Provide MSU research faculty opportunities to travel to each tribal college (7 research talks; one at each tribl college.) (2) Provide opportunities for Native American students at all institutions to develop as cohort of scientists through in person networking, electronic social networks and video teleconference (Skype) methods. (3) Develop critical thinking and research skills of tribal college students through an 8 week summer research experience at a 4-year institute in biomedical and behavioral science research, including providing academic skills enrichment opportunities for tribal college students such as instruction in study skills, time management, content enrichment (within the research project), and writing. Project objectives for specific aim 2 and 3 include: a) Develop regular electronic networking space (once a month) for student use between institutions (Facebook, Skype, Videoconferencing); b) Recruit 15 students for summer research experience at MSU and SKC (now a four-year baccalaureate granting institution); c) Increase research and academic capabilities of students through summer research experiences; d) Transfer 75% of students to 4-year degree programs in biomedical and behavioral sciences disciplines; e) Increase graduation rate of Bridges students to meet MSU campus rate for Native American students (35%); f) Provide Native American science students with one regional opportunity to present research and network face-to-face. In the last nine years, MSU's AIRO NIH funded Bridges programs have transferred 66 percent of participating tribal college students to 4-year degree programs and graduated 24 percent of these students. By focusing efforts on these expanded specific aims, the goals of a 75% transfer rate and 35% graduation rate are attainable.

描述(由申请人提供)：这个持续的项目是代表包括蒙大拿州州立大学博兹曼学院和蒙大拿州部落学院在内的机构联盟提交的：黑脚社区学院、首席迟钝刀学院、Aanih Nakoda学院(前贝尔克纳普堡学院)、派克堡社区学院、小大角学院、Salish Kotenai学院和1983年成立的Stone Child学院。美国印第安人研究机会(AIRO)联盟的具体目标是加强与蒙大拿州部落学院的现有合作伙伴关系，以增强原住民科学毕业生和科学项目的竞争力，从而使更多的原住民学生进入四年制生物医学和行为科学学士学位项目，并最终增加这些学生在这些职业领域毕业的人数。Airo Bridges项目将侧重于实现以下目标：(1)通过促进培训和讲习班，加强部落学院合作伙伴的研究能力，以及在机构之间共享和调整课程(包括研究方法和负责任地开展研究课程)，在部落学院和密歇根州立大学教职员工之间建立合作与合作。项目目标包括：a)每年为部落学院教员提供两次讲习班，以便他们一起编写课程和课程(每所部落学院两名教员，共14名教员)；b)为部落学院教员提供资金，通过培训、旅行、发放工资的时间和/或设备来发展他们的研究能力(每年4000美元)；c)为密歇根州立大学的研究人员提供前往每所部落学院的机会(7次研究讲座，每所Tribl学院一次)。(2)通过面对面联网、电子社交网络和视频电话会议(Skype)的方法，为所有机构的美洲原住民学生提供机会，以发展他们的研究能力。(3)培养部落学院的批判性思维和研究技能 在为期4年的生物医学和行为科学研究学院，学生通过为期8周的暑期研究体验，包括为部落大学生提供学术技能增长机会，如学习技能、时间管理、内容丰富(在研究项目中)和写作方面的指导。具体目标2和3的项目目标包括：a) 开发定期的电子网络空间(每月一次)供学生在院校之间使用(Facebook、Skype、视频会议)；b)招募15名学生在密歇根州立大学和SKC(现为四年制学士授予院校)进行暑期研究体验；c)通过暑期研究体验增加学生的研究和学术能力；d)将75%的学生转移到生物医学和行为科学学科的四年制学位课程；e)提高Bridges学生的毕业率，以满足密歇根州立大学的美国原住民学生的在校率(35%)；f)为美国原住民理科学生提供一个面对面展示研究和网络的区域机会。在过去的九年里，密歇根州立大学的Airo NIH资助的桥梁项目已经将66%的参与部落大学生转移到四年制学位课程，并使其中24%的学生毕业。通过专注于这些扩大的具体目标，75%的转化率和35%的毕业率的目标是可以实现的。
