Cherokee Nation Research Immersion Student Experiences( Cherokee Rise)

项目摘要/摘要 美国印第安人(AI)人口面临着严重的健康不平等，但AI的代表性不足 科学和研究人员队伍中的个人。研究表明，人工智能学生的数量很少， 在教育和职业道路上取得的进步，部分是由于缺乏具有文化能力的教育。 服务、支持系统和导师。由于这些不平等以及缺乏资源和指导，存在着 迫切需要促进部落国家和机构之间的持续伙伴关系 学术水平的健康研究，以招收人工智能学生，并支持他们走向健康研究职业生涯。 切诺基民族与俄克拉荷马大学(OU)和俄克拉荷马州立大学(OSU)合作 发展切罗基国家研究沉浸式学生体验(RISE)计划，以促进 对生物医学、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，实现健康公平。切罗基民族有着悠久的历史 与俄亥俄州立大学建立研究伙伴关系。切诺基民族已经与俄亥俄州立大学合作，建立了该国第一个部落- 俄克拉何马州Tahlequah的附属医学院，这是部落总部的所在地。切罗基人 国家崛起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人员在科学途径的每个层面上接触到健康研究。 该项目的目的是1)支持人工智能学生和受训人员在科学道路上进行健康研究 接触、实践研究经验和正式指导；2)增加生物医学的人才库 受过正式指导培训并致力于指导和吸引人工智能学生参与其 正在进行的研究计划；3)为切诺基民族崛起的学生开发和维护一个在线社区， 导师和计划校友，用于建立网络、支持参与的研究和指导以及评估 和跟踪。通过NARCH伙伴关系，切诺基民族处于有利地位，可以培养一支人工智能骨干 从事生物医学、临床和行为健康研究的学生和实习生；增加 在指导人工智能学生方面接受过正式培训的教职员工；并建立一个在线社区来评估、改进、 并维持这一计划。通过扩大伙伴关系和创建切诺基国家崛起咨询机构 董事会，我们的目标是为所有级别的大规模机构间培训计划奠定基础 学生和受训人员为了促进通往健康的道路，专注于改善人工智能健康的研究职业。

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.
