The Explorations in Biomedicine program is administered through a
partnership between
The American Physiological Society (APS),
Bethesda, MD, and the American
Indian Research Opportunities (AIRO) consortium of Montana
tribal colleges and Montana State University-Bozeman, Bozeman, MT.
What is the Explorations in Biomedicine program?
Explorations works intensively with science faculty at
tribal colleges and middle/high schools that serve Native American
students. The focus of the program is on creating an
atmosphere that encourages science studies; promoting the
exploration and pursuit of biomedical research careers; and
providing opportunities for students to interact with biomedical
researchers in their geographic area and across the nation. The
program hopes to increase interest and participation in biomedical
research careers among Native American students, typically
underrepresented in science careers.
Explorations in Biomedicine is supported by a grant from the National Institutes
of Health, National
Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS Grant #GM08634),
Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) Program. |
