This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Project Summary: The Rural Alaska Honors Institute (RAHI) (www.uaf.edu/rahi) was organized in 1982 at the request of the Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN) and others, to better prepare rural Alaska Native high school students to succeed in college. This summer residential bridging program for high school seniors and rising freshmen assists students from Rural Alaska to make the academic and social transition between high school and college. Admission to RAHI is competitive; full scholarships cover all summer program expenses including travel, room, board, supplies and tuition for up to 9 college credits. Rigorous academic activity combines with social, cultural and recreational activities for early preparation for college. Students are treated as honors students and are purposely stretched beyond their comfort levels academically and socially to prepare for the step from home or village to a culturally western urban campus. INBRE chose to add to this well-known, successful, respected bridging program, rather than to compete with it by developing a similar program. In summer 2004, INBRE sponsored full summer scholarships for seven additional students (all Alaska Native rising freshmen). In summer 2003, INBRE sponsored development of a new course, CHEM 195, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in the Modern World, a four credit class with laboratory. The two Alaska Native women UAF graduates in chemistry who developed the course in 2003 have moved on, one to pursue a Ph.D. in pharmacology at Stanford and one to full time high school science teaching. In 2004, the 12 students in the class were taught by a post-doctoral fellow and a grad student from the Dept. of Chemistry and Biochemistry. New elements continue to be added to the class. For example, in 2005, several labs will be held in the Arctic Region Super computing Center?s Discovery Lab in the Rasmuson Library (a Virtual Reality immersive environment Mechdyne MD Flex? system). The room is equipped to display stereoscopic images to allow students to virtually immerse themselves in biochemistry. RAHI staff report over 750 RAHI alumni. Over 60% have entered four-year college programs. Most alumni attend UAF; others select schools outside the state. Some are in graduate school, including medical and law schools. More complete statistics on alumni are being compiled by RAHI staff who will be tracking the 2003 and 2004 cohorts, including students supported by INBRE.

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子弹和调查员（PI）可能已经从其他NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他清晰的条目中代表。列出的机构适用于该中心，这不一定是调查员的机构。项目摘要：阿拉斯加农村荣誉研究所（RAHI）（www.uaf.edu/rahi）于1982年应阿拉斯加原住民联合会（AFN）和其他人的要求成立，以更好地准备阿拉斯加农村土著高中生在大学中取得成功。今年夏天针对高中生和崛起的新生的住宅桥梁计划为来自阿拉斯加乡村的学生提供了高中和大学之间的学术和社会过渡。参加拉希具有竞争力；全额奖学金涵盖了所有夏季计划费用，包括旅行，房间，董事会，用品和学费，最多9个大学学分。严格的学术活动与社会，文化和娱乐活动相结合，为大学准备。学生被视为荣誉学生，并有意地在学术和社会上都超出了他们的舒适水平，以准备从家庭或村庄到一个文化的西方城市校园。 Inbre选择添加这个著名，成功，受人尊敬的桥接计划，而不是通过制定类似的程序来与之竞争。 2004年夏季，Inbre赞助了七名学生（所有阿拉斯加本地崛起的新生）提供了完整的夏季奖学金。 2003年夏季，INBRE赞助了新课程的开发，即Chem 195，现代世界中的生物化学和分子生物学，这是一个带有实验室的四个学分。 2003年开发该课程的化学毕业生的两名阿拉斯加土著妇女毕业生已经继续攻读博士学位。斯坦福大学的药理学专业，一项到全日制高中科学教学。 2004年，班上的12名学生由一名博士后研究员和一名来自化学和生物化学系的研究生教授。继续将新元素添加到班上。例如，在2005年，将在Rasmuson库中的北极地区超级计算中心的发现实验室（虚拟现实的沉浸式环境Mechdyne Mechdyne MD Flex？System）举行多个实验室。该房间具有显示立体图像，使学生几乎可以将自己浸入生物化学中。 拉希（Rahi）工作人员报告了750名拉希校友。超过60％的人进入了四年制大学课程。大多数校友都参加UAF；其他人则选择州以外的学校。有些在研究生院，包括医学和法学院。 Rahi员工正在汇编有关校友的更完整的统计数据，他们将跟踪2003年和2004年的同伙，包括Inbre支持的学生。
