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. The Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program (ANSEP) integrates outreach, recruitment, retention and placement strategies to promote success in college, sustain interest in STEM areas, and encourage graduate study. Originated at the University of Alaska Anchorage for engineering students only, ANSEP has increased retention rates of Native Americans in engineering programs (73% vs. national average 27%). In 2002, the ANSEP program began at UAF for engineering students. BRIN/INBRE has sponsored students since spring semester 2003, extending ANSEP-type scholarships and internships to students interested in biomedical research, medical or other professional degrees, or bioinformatics. From 7/04 to 6/05, we awarded 13 scholarships, 1 study leader award, and 2 GPA awards. INBRE also helped support the UAF ANSEP Awards banquet in May 2004.Of the 19 students who have received BRIN/INBRE support since 2003, 3 have graduated (2 employed by the Norton Sound Hospital, one accepted to Johns Hopkins nursing program), 2 have dropped out of school but plan to return, 5 will graduate in May 2005, and the rest are in school and placed in summer internships or programs. Eligibility for an INBRE/ANSEP scholarship requires a semester of 1) weekly attendance at American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) meetings, 2) minimum 3.0 GPA, and 3) application, personal statement, resume, and recommendation letters. Continued award of the $2500/semester scholarship depends on continued achievement based on 1) attendance at ANSEP and AISES weekly meetings, 2) participation in supplemental instruction and peer study groups (awarded $500/semester if a group study leader), 3) active participation in one student professional organization society, and 4) minimum of 12 credits toward degree requirements each semester with minimum of 2.0 in all courses (bonus of $250/semester if 3.0+). In summer, students are placed in a professional internship of at least 8 weeks, with weekly evaluations. In summer 2004, four ANSEP students worked in UAF labs: continuing participant Crystal Duncan, and new participants Lonita Lohse, Courtney Moore, and Alice Kangas. Ann Wilson attended a summer research experience program at Harvard Medical School. Fall semester 2004 6 students earned scholarships: Ann Wilson, Crystal Duncan, Minnie Goodblanket, Alice Kangas, Courtney Moore, and Lonita Lohse . Study leader awards went to Lohse and GPA awards to Lohse and Kangas. In Spring 2005, Wilson, Kangas, Lohse and Moore continued and Ann Austin (senior, biology), R.J. Stevens (Sophomore, engineering) and Kelly Thompson (Junior, engineering) were added. The engineering students are working on biomedical-type projects although UAF has no formal Bioengineering program. For summer 2005, 2 new students will be added: Kim Dullen (Sophomore, Biology), and Shauna Sagmoen (Sophomore, Chemistry).

该子项目是利用 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者 (PI) 可能已从另一个 NIH 来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中出现。列出的机构是中心的机构，不一定是研究者的机构。阿拉斯加本土科学与工程计划 (ANSEP) 整合了外展、招聘、保留和安置策略，以促进大学成功、保持对 STEM 领域的兴趣并鼓励研究生学习。 ANSEP 起源于阿拉斯加大学安克雷奇分校，仅供工程专业学生使用，它提高了美国原住民工程项目的保留率（73%，而全国平均水平为 27%）。 2002 年，UAF 为工程专业学生开设了 ANSEP 项目。 BRIN/INBRE 自 2003 年春季学期起开始资助学生，为对生物医学研究、医学或其他专业学位或生物信息学感兴趣的学生提供 ANSEP 类型的奖学金和实习机会。从7/04到6/05，我们颁发了13个奖学金、1个学习领袖奖和2个GPA奖。 INBRE 还帮助支持了 2004 年 5 月的 UAF ANSEP 颁奖晚宴。自 2003 年以来获得 BRIN/INBRE 支持的 19 名学生中，3 名已毕业（2 名受聘于 Norton Sound 医院，1 名被约翰·霍普金斯大学护理项目录取），2 名已毕业辍学但计划返回的人中，有 5 人将于 2005 年 5 月毕业，其余人在校并参加暑期实习或项目。 获得 INBRE/ANSEP 奖学金的资格要求在一个学期内满足以下条件：1) 每周参加美国印第安人科学与工程学会 (AISES) 会议，2) GPA 至少 3.0，以及 3) 申请、个人陈述、简历和推荐信。是否继续获得 2500 美元/学期的奖学金取决于持续取得的成绩：1) 参加 ANSEP 和 AISES 每周会议，2) 参加补充指导和同伴学习小组（如果是小组学习负责人，则每学期奖励 500 美元），3) 积极参与在一个学生专业组织协会中，以及 4) 每学期至少获得 12 个学位要求学分，所有课程至少获得 2.0 分（每学期奖励 250 美元）如果 3.0+）。夏季，学生将接受至少 8 周的专业实习，每周进行评估。 2004 年夏天，四名 ANSEP 学生在 UAF 实验室工作：继续参加者 Crystal Duncan，以及新参加者 Lonita Lohse、Courtney Moore 和 Alice Kangas。安·威尔逊 (Ann Wilson) 参加了哈佛医学院的夏季研究体验项目。 2004 年秋季学期，6 名学生获得了奖学金：Ann Wilson、Crystal Duncan、Minnie Goodblanket、Alice Kangas、Courtney Moore 和 Lonita Lohse。 Lohse 获得了研究领袖奖，Lohse 和 Kangas 获得了 GPA 奖。 2005 年春季，Wilson、Kangas、Lohse 和 Moore 继续研究，Ann Austin（生物学高级）、R.J.添加了史蒂文斯（大二，工程）和凯利·汤普森（大三，工程）。尽管 UAF 没有正式的生物工程项目，但工程专业的学生正在从事生物医学类型的项目。 2005 年夏季，将增加 2 名新学生：Kim Dullen（生物大二学生）和 Shauna Sagmoen（化学大二学生）。
