OUTREACH CORE

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。外展核心的首要目标是增加部落大学生进入科学学士学位课程的人数。以下核心目标建立在BRIN期间建立的基础上，并满足INBRE的目标；1)为通过互动视频会议（IVN）在北部五所部落学院之间扩展科学课程提供资金；2)建立部落学院科学协调员，以制定提供和接收远程课程的最佳实践；3)为部落学院科学教师提供支持，以继续发展科学研究技能和远程教学技能。目标1：向参与的部落学院分发资金，以支付通过互动视频网络提供课程的相关费用。五所部落学院之间即将签署一份谅解备忘录（MOU），该备忘录将概述未来在线和远程授课课程的结构和授课方式。目标2和目标3:T. M. Bull Bennett博士于2004年9月被聘为部落学院科学协调员。从小米？贝内特最近获得了南达科他州矿业与技术学院大气、环境和水资源专业的博士学位。贝内特博士将开发远程科学课程教学的最佳实践，并为西北部落学院利用资源。他正在与部落学院合作，在2005/2006学年通过IVN改进化学115或116的授课方式。正在努力开发额外的以实验室为基础的远程科学课程，可能是普通生物学，或解剖学和生理学。贝内特博士打算每月定期访问参与的INBRE机构。这些访问的一个重要目标是促进部落大学生成功参与其他大学的研究。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The overarching goal of Outreach Core is to increase the number of tribal college students matriculating into baccalaureate degree programs in the sciences. The following Core objectives build upon the foundation established during BRIN and meet the INBRE goals; 1) provide funding for expanded delivery of science courses via interactive videoconferencing (IVN) between the five ND tribal colleges, 2) establish a Tribal College Science Coordinator to develop best practices for delivering and receiving distance courses, 3) provide support for tribal college science faculty to continue to develop science and research skills and skills in distance instruction. Goal 1: Funding was disseminated to the participating tribal colleges to cover charges related to delivery of courses over the Interactive Video Network (IVN). There is a pending Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between each of the five Tribal Colleges that will outline the structure and delivery of both online and distance-delivered courses in the future. Goals 2 and 3: T. M. Bull Bennett PhD was hired in September 2004 as the Tribal College Science Coordinator. From the Mi?kmaq tribe of the Canadian east coast, Bennett recently earned a PhD from South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in atmosphere, environment and water resources. Dr. Bennett will develop best practices for distance science course delivery and leverage resources for the ND tribal colleges. He is working with the tribal colleges to refine the delivery of Chemistry 115 or 116 over the IVN in 2005/2006. Efforts are underway to develop additional laboratory-based distance science courses, possibly general biology, or anatomy and physiology. Dr. Bennett intends to pursue regular monthly visits to the participating INBRE institutions. An important goal of these visits is to facilitate the successful involvement of tribal college students in research at the other PUIs.
