Montana Apprenticeship Program
Caption:
The overall goal of the Montana Apprenticeship Program (MAP) is to increase the pool of disadvantaged high school students who have the interest and potential to pursue careers in biomedical/behavioral research and the health professions. Additionally, MAP offers opportunities for K-12 in-service and preservice teachers of disadvantaged students to update their knowledge and skills in modern research tools and techniques as well as strengthen their teaching skills. A total of 20 students and six teachers are recruited each spring from an established network of Montana schools with significant disadvantaged student enrollment. The main component of MAP is a structured "hands on" summer research experience for both students and teachers under the direction of active biomedical/behavioral research mentors.
This work was supported by the Montana EPSCoR (Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research) project under NSF grant EPS 98-71922.
