RESEARCH ENHANCEMENT AT DINE' COLLEGE

Din学院的Rise项目将改善这个部落大学校园的研究环境，为纳瓦霍民族服务。这些活动将包括教员、学生、家庭、社区和纳瓦霍专业人员，以全面努力实现学院学术和研究职能的更好整合，并在更广泛的纳瓦霍和美洲原住民社区中更有效地应用这些职能。该学院的Din(纳瓦霍)教育理念将成为纳瓦霍学生概念化、计划、实施和验证他们在实现学业和职业目标方面取得进展的综合过程的基础。教员将通过年度研究计划和提案开发研讨会得到加强，在研讨会上，教员将确定他们的优势、兴趣、限制和预期的研究方向。个别教员将根据需要提交研讨会、会议、课程或研究经验的计划。学生将通过与关键课程相关的讲习班/学习小组/辅导，利用协作学习技术获得学术上的丰富；有机化学将在NMSU的帮助下开发和提供；研究实验室设施和研究培训活动将在校园内开发和提供；学生将通过交流访问与纳瓦霍和其他生物医学科学家接触。将为校内外的学生提供研究实习/实习机会，并为公共卫生/流行病学专业的学生额外提供一学分的研究方法课程。研讨会、大学会议和社区研究会议将验证学生和教职员工在支持性的大学、家庭和社区环境中的工作，这将增强动力并与相关人员分享积极的学术经验。

The RISE project for Din College will enhance the research environment at this tribal college's campuses, which serve the Navajo Nation. The activities will encompass faculty, students, families, communities and Navajo professionals in a comprehensive effort to achieve a better integration of the academic and research functions of the college, and a more effective application of those functions within the wider Navajo and Native American community. The Din (Navajo) Educational Philosophy of the college will form the basis for a comprehensive process in which Navajo students conceptualize, plan, implement and validate their progress in achieving their academic and career goals. Faculty will be enhanced through annual workshops on research planning and proposal development in which faculty identify their strengths, interests, constraints, and intended directions for research. Plans will be submitted by individual faculty members for workshops, conferences, courses, or research experiences as appropriate. Students will be academically enriched through workshops/study groups/mentoring associated with key courses using collaborative learning techniques; Organic Chemistry will be developed and offered with assistance from NMSU; research lab facilities and research training activities will be developed and offered on campus; students will be engaged with Navajo and other biomedical scientists through exchange visits. Research placements/internships for students at on and off campus locations will be provided, with an additional one-credit research methods course for public health/epidemiology students. Seminars, college conferences and Community Research Conferences will validate the work of students and faculty in supportive collegial, family and community environments which will strengthen motivation and share positive academic experiences with relevant others.
