The UM Native American Research Laboratories (NARL) were established in 2007 by Dr. Michael Ceballos with the approval of the Division of Biological Sciences and the Department of Biomedical Sciences to provide Native American undergraduates and graduate students with advanced “hands-on” research opportunities in the natural sciences and biomedical sciences in an interdisciplinary research setting guided by culturally-relevant faculty role models/mentors. NARL recognizes the importance of training Native scholars in an intertribally-diverse and interculturally-diverse scientific setting. To facilitate the latter, the participation of non-Native and international scholars in NARL research activity is enthusiastically supported.  NARL also provides opportunities for high school students and tribal college students to engage in research activity (predominantly during the summer months).
