Objectives: The 2007 Internship will host 4-6 students with an annual stipend of $12,000 to be disbursed according to a proposal submitted by the accepted student and their mentor. Students will be recruited from Salish Kootenai College and the University of Montana. Students must have attended a tribal college for at least one semester prior to applying to the program. Student Participation: The research experience will begin as of January 22, 2007 and extend through until the end of December 2007, with the more extensive portion of the research project being conducted during the summer session. Each intern will participate in an independent research project under the supervision of an academic mentor. Interns will have the opportunity to choose from a broad array of topics in Environmental Biology including; Evolutionary Genetics and Conservation Biology, Plant and Soil Ecology, Animal Biology and Ecology, Aquatic Biology and Ecology, and Microbial Ecology. Faculty and staff from both the University of Montana and Salish Kootenai College will conduct a summer course in research methods as well as arranging orientation and other events as part of a multilayered mentoring structure. There is a limited amount of funding for housing and supplies during the summer months. 2) Environmental Science at SKC http://www.skc.edu/env/envscipage.html 3) UMEB: Project TRAIN http://www.umt.edu/projecttrain
