Cherokee Nation Research Immersion Student Experiences( Cherokee Rise)

项目总结/摘要 美洲印第安人（AI）人口面临着严重的健康不平等，但AI的代表性不足 科学和研究工作者中的个人。研究表明， 在教育和职业道路上取得进展的部分原因是缺乏文化能力强的教育人才， 服务、支持系统和导师。由于这些不平等现象以及缺乏资源和指导， 迫切需要促进部落民族和机构之间的持续伙伴关系， 学术水平的健康研究，以招募人工智能学生，并支持他们的健康研究生涯的途径。 切罗基民族与俄克拉荷马州大学（俄克拉荷马州）和俄克拉荷马州州立大学（OSU）合作， 开发切罗基国家研究沉浸式学生体验（RISE）计划，以促进 特别是在生物医学、临床和行为健康研究方面的兴趣和专业知识。切罗基民族崛起 旨在培养下一代人工智能科学家，以实现健康公平。切罗基民族长期以来 在研究中的伙伴关系，切罗基民族与俄勒冈州立大学合作建立了全国第一个部落- 位于俄克拉荷马州塔勒阔的一所医学院，也是部落总部所在地。切罗基 Nation RISE将覆盖从高中到研究生院的多个级别的学员， 医学生和住院医生让人工智能受训者接触科学途径各个层面的健康研究。 该项目的目的是1）支持AI学生和学员沿着健康研究的科学途径 接触，实践研究经验和正式的导师; 2）增加生物医学人才库 研究人员接受过正式的指导培训，致力于指导和吸引人工智能学生参与他们的研究。 正在进行的研究计划; 3）开发和维护切罗基民族崛起学生的在线社区， 导师和项目校友，用于建立网络，维持参与研究和指导，以及评估 和追踪通过与NATIONAL的合作，切罗基国家处于有利地位，可以发展人工智能的骨干力量 从事生物医学、临床和行为健康研究的学生和受训人员;增加 教师谁是在指导人工智能学生正式培训;并建立一个在线社区，以评估，改善， 并维持该计划。通过扩大伙伴关系和创建一个切罗基国家崛起咨询 董事会，我们的目标是奠定基础，为大规模的跨机构培训计划，在各级 学生和学员，以促进健康研究职业的途径，重点是改善人工智能的健康。

Project Summary/Abstract American Indian (AI) populations face significant health inequities, yet there is an underrepresentation of AI individuals in the scientific and research workforce. Research indicates the low number of AI students that progress through the educational and career pathway is due, in part, to a lack of culturally competent educational services, support systems, and mentors. Due to these inequities and lack of resources and mentoring, there is a critical need to foster sustained partnerships between Tribal Nations and institutions conducting intensive academic-level health research to recruit AI students and support their pathway to health research careers. Cherokee Nation has partnered with the University of Oklahoma (OU) and Oklahoma State University (OSU) to develop the Cherokee Nation Research Immersion Student Experiences (RISE) program in order to foster interest and expertise specifically in biomedical, clinical, and behavioral health research. Cherokee Nation RISE aims to train the next generation of AI scientists to achieve health equity. Cherokee Nation has as longstanding partnership in research with OU. Cherokee Nation has partnered with OSU to establish the nation’s first tribally- affiliated college of medicine in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, which is the location of the tribe’s headquarters. Cherokee Nation RISE will reach across multiple levels of trainees from high school through graduate school as well as medical students and residents to expose AI trainees to health research at each level of the scientific pathway. The project aims are to 1) Support AI students and trainees along the scientific pathway with health research exposure, hands-on research experiences and formal mentorship; 2) Increase the pool of biomedical researchers who are formally trained in mentoring and dedicated to mentoring and engaging AI students in their ongoing research programs; 3) Develop and maintain an online community for Cherokee Nation RISE students, mentors, and program alumni for networking, sustainment of engaged research and mentoring, and evaluation and tracking. Through the NARCH partnership, Cherokee Nation is well-positioned to develop a cadre of AI students and trainees engaged in biomedical, clinical, and behavioral health research; increase the pool of faculty who are formally trained in mentoring AI students; and build an online community to evaluate, improve, and sustain the program. Through expanded partnerships and the creation of a Cherokee Nation RISE Advisory Board, we aim to lay the foundation for a large-scale inter-institutional training program across all levels of students and trainees in order to facilitate the pathway to health research careers focused on improving AI health.
