<div class=section1><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">The University of Montana Native American Research Laboratory (UM NARL) was established in 2007. The primary mission of NARL is to provide advanced “hands-on” research opportunities to Native American students in a highly interdisciplinary and inter-tribally as well as inter-culturally diverse training environment, guided by culturally relevant faculty role models and mentors. Although UM NARL is dedicated to serving Native American students, the participation of non-Native and international students is also a priority to facilitate intercultural exchange. </SPAN></div>
