Research Fellowships for NW Tribal Population Health Sciences Students

该项目的总体目标是增加训练有素的AI/AN研究人员的数量 准备在不同的环境中进行人口健康科学研究。许多作家都有 记录了少数部落人，他们是职业研究科学家。我们的努力旨在 解决这种情况。对于这项拟议的奖学金计划，我们将建立在我们成功的 我们在NARCH前几个周期中实施的研究生研究职业发展 资金问题。我们将继续支持AI/AN研究生的指导性研究，优先考虑NW 部落学生就读于西北地区的机构。此外，在美国国立卫生研究院七年来通过 国家建设计划，我们将支持对人口科学感兴趣的本科AI/AN学生 波特兰州立大学和其他地区性学院和大学的职业生涯(新活动) 承担并完成导师指导的研究项目。而所有的学生都将完成他们的课程 毕业学位要求，我们将通过额外的课程来提高学员的研究能力 在我们的暑期研究培训机构项目中，通过定期提供各种技能培养课程 预定的Zoom和基于网络的研讨会、面对面研讨会、通过近距离同行指导以及通过 为参加全国性、地区性和地方性研究会议提供支持。 利用人口健康科学的‘镜头’，我们的奖学金计划提案包括以下目标： 1.招募和留住人口健康科学方面的人工智能/人工智能研究生加入我们的研究奖学金， 与西北学院和大学培训项目合作，并通过印度国家教育 基金会和组织(AIESES)(后者是新活动) 2.招收和留住对人口健康科学和支持感兴趣的AI/AN本科生 他们在其机构开展的研究活动(我们国家统计研究所的新活动)。 3.通过有指导的研究项目、基于Zoom的研讨会和在- 个人研讨会，以培养研究技能，并通过提供人工智能/人工智能榜样、近距离同行导师、 以及支持参加国家科学会议。 4.评估项目的成功程度，跟踪学员的职业发展。 我们努力的最终成果应该服务于国家议程，即建设部落研究能力和减少 目前美国部落和非土著群体之间的健康差距。此外，我们的培训 针对地区性AI/AN学生的努力将有助于将NPAIHB建立为 俄勒冈州、华盛顿州和爱达荷州的部落健康研究。

The overall goal of this project is to increase the number of well-trained AI/AN researchers who are prepared to conduct population health sciences research in diverse settings. Numerous authors have documented the small numbers of tribal people who are career research scientists. Our efforts are aimed at addressing this situation. For this proposed fellowship program, we will build on our successful record of research career development for graduate students that we implemented in the previous cycles of NARCH funding. We will continue to support AI/AN graduate students for their mentored research, prioritizing NW tribal students enrolled in NW institutions. In addition, building on seven years of NIH support through the national BUILD program, we will support undergraduate AI/AN students interested in population science careers at Portland State University and other regional colleges and universities (new activity) as they undertake and complete mentored research projects. While all students will complete their programs’ degree requirements for graduation, we will increase trainee research competencies by additionally offering a mixture of skill-building courses in our Summer Research Training Institute program, via regularly scheduled Zoom and web-based seminars, in-person workshops, through near-peer mentorship, and by providing support to attend national, regional, and local research conferences. Using a population health sciences ’lens’, our fellowship program proposal includes the following aims: 1. Recruit and retain AI/AN graduate students in population health sciences into our research fellowships, in collaboration with NW college and university training programs and via national Indian education foundations and organizations (AIESES) (Latter is new activity) 2. Recruit and retain AI/AN undergraduate students interested in population health sciences and support them for research activities undertaken at their institutions (new activity for our NARCH). 3. Support development of all trainees via mentored research projects, Zoom-based seminars, and in- person workshops to foster research skills, and by providing AI/AN role models, near-peer mentors, and support for participation in national scientific meetings. 4. Evaluate the success of the project and track the trainees as they progress in their careers. The end product of our efforts should serve the national agenda to build tribal research capacity and reduce health disparities that currently separate tribal from non-Native groups in the U.S. In addition, our training efforts directed at regional AI/AN students will help establish NPAIHB as an important regional resource for tribal health research in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.
