蒙大拿州少数民族学徒计划(MAP)的总体目标是 为了增加代表不足的少数族裔高中生的人数， 特别是美洲印第安人，他们有兴趣和潜力 从事生物医学/行为研究和健康领域的职业 职业。此外，蒙大拿州的地图将为 K-12少数民族学生在职教师更新知识 以及现代研究工具和技术的技能以及 加强他们的教学技能。共有20名学生和5名学生(5) 教师将从蒙大拿州29个已建立的网络中招聘 有大量美国印第安人入学的预订学校。主 地图的组成部分将是一项有条理的“动手”夏季研究 在学生和教师的积极指导下体验 生物医学/行为研究导师。蒙大拿州地图的具体目标 包括： A.为少数族裔高中生提供个性化的手-- 关于‘接触生物医学/健康相关的研究和特别丰富 活动； B.为少数民族学生提供K-12在职和职前教师 有机会参与与健康相关的研究并更新其 教学知识、技能和能力令人兴奋，以发现为导向 科学； C.允许生物医学研究科学家担任 并在发展少数民族学生和教师方面发挥关键作用 大学前教育的内容； D.在学年期间为双方提供后续活动 参与的少数民族学生和教师； E.加强预留K-12学校与密歇根州立大学之间的伙伴关系 通过加强教师之间的交流和活动， 少数民族学生、家长、辅导员和生物医学研究人员；以及 F.维护以计算机为基础的纵向跟踪系统，以评价 蒙大拿州地图对增加少数民族数量的影响 进入高等教育的学生和在大学毕业的学生 生物医学/健康相关课程。 在学年期间，学生、老师和导师将留在学校。 通过带有会议和公告板的电信网络进行触摸 和电子邮件功能。此外，学生、教师和导师将 每年至少去一次对方的机构访问 学年。

The overall goal of the Montana Minority Apprenticeship Program (MAP) is to increase the pool of underrepresented minority high school students, specifically American Indians, who have the interest and potential to pursue careers in biomedical/behavioral research and the health professions. Additionally, the Montana MAP will offer opportunities for K-12 inservice teachers of minority students to update their knowledge and skills in modern research tools and techniques as well as to strengthen their teaching skills. A total of 20 students and five (5) teachers will be recruited from an established network of 29 Montana reservation schools with significant American Indian enrollment. The main component of the MAP will be a structured 'hands on' summer research experience for both students and teachers under the direction of active biomedical/behavioral research mentors. Specific aims of the Montana MAP are: a. to provide minority high school students with a personalized 'hands- on' exposure to biomedical/health-related research and special enrichment activities; b. to provide K-12 inservice and preservice teachers of minority students an opportunity to participate in health-related research and update their knowledge, skills and abilities in teaching exciting, discovery-oriented science; c. to allow biomedical research scientists to serve as mentors for minority students and teachers and to play a key role in developing the content of precollege education; d. to provide follow-up activities during the academic year for both participating minority students and teachers; e. to strengthen partnerships between reservation K-12 schools and MSU by developing enhanced communications and activities between teachers, minority students, parents, counselors, and biomedical researchers; and f. to maintain a computer-based longitudinal tracking system to evaluate the impact of the Montana MAP on increasing the numbers of minority students enrolling in higher education and those graduating in a biomedical/health-related curriculum. During the academic year, students, teachers and mentors will keep in touch via a telecommunications network with conferencing, bulletin board and e-mail capabilities. In addition, students, teachers and mentors will make at least one trip to visit each other's institutions during the academic year.
