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. Draft 2008 subproject description for "UAF: ALASKA NATIVE SCIENCE EDUCATION PROGRAM--INBRE" 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. Alaska 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 spring 2003 to spring 2008, 27 Alaska Native undergraduate students have been awarded BRIN/INBRE support. Of those students, 13 have graduated, 3 have dropped out and 11 are still in school. Of the 13 who have graduated, one did a post bacc year at Stanford started grad school at Mayo but stopped out to work in the Peace Corps; one attended the Johns Hopkins nursing school and is now at the Alaska Native Tribal Health Center (ANTHC), one attended Physical Therapy school in Colorado and is now at ANTHC; one is a bioengineer at IBM; one is the director of the diabetes and wellness programs at Norton Sound Health Corporation in Nome and is applying for medical school; one is doing post-bacc work in a neuroscience lab as she applies for medical schools, one completed her secondary teaching certification and now is the science teacher in her home village of Ruby, AK; one is applying to physician's assistant's schools, one works in the training and education office of the Sitka Tribes Association; and one is working as an electrical lineman in his home town of Juneau. 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. 2004: 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. 2005 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 were added: Kim Dullen (Sophomore, Biology), and Shauna Sagmoen (Sophomore, Chemistry). Summer job placements included field and lab work with the head vet of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game for Dullen, the summer research experience program at Harvard Medical School for Goodblanket, graduation and a post bacc year at Stanford for Lohse, graduation for Kangas with a return to her village of Ruby to help her family. Moore decided she could make more money working construction and Sagmoen had her first experience working in a "real" lab with UAF neurobiology investigator Kelly Drew. Wilson went to Stanford for a summer research experience and Thompson was awarded a regular INBRE undergraduate summer research experience award to continue working on a SIDS monitoring device. The other engineering student, Stevens, transferred to a program working on high altitude physics here at UAF. In Fall 2005, Goodblanket had a US Dept. of the Interior Indian Health Service scholarship, and Sagmoen, Thompson, Dullen and Wilson were awarded scholarships based on their spring grades and their successful completion of the summer's work. 2006. Spring 2006 scholarships went to Dullen, Goodblanket, Sagmoen, Thompson, and Wilson and a new student, Grace Peterson was supported for hourly work in the lab of UAF Biology faculty member Kristin O'Brien. In summer, as in previous summers, many of the ANSEP students were supported by other programs thus fulfilling their obligation for summer. For example, Minnie Goodblanket attended a premed program in Oklahoma, and Kimberley Dullen earned one of the few Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) internship positions that also includes scholarship assistance during the academic year. Peterson continued in the O'Brien lab, Thompson graduated and took a full time position with IBM in Rochester, Wilson worked in the lab of Kelly Drew, and a new student Rebecca Church worked in the lab of Diane O'Brien. Sagmoen dropped out to deal with family issues. In Fall 2006, Dullen, Goodblanket, Peterson and Wilson were awarded scholarships. 2007. In spring 2007, Rebecca Church and Grace Peterson have qualified for scholarships. Wilson has graduated and is arranging to work in the lab of Kelly Drew as she applies for medical school. Goodblanket and Dullen did not complete the fall semester work due to family issues. Two students, Elizabeth Felker (pre-vet) and Zazelle Staheli (pre-dent) qualified for scholarships. Summer experiences included: environmental testing for Donlin gold mine (Felker), ADFG (Dullen), teaching assistant for pilot program for high school students in molecular biology (Church), and one of the first dental interns in a village under the new dental technicians program (Staheli). 2008. In spring 2008, three new students qualified for scholarships. In addition to students Church, Dullen, Felker, and Staheli, pre-pharmacy students Carla Nelson and Samantha Smith qualified, as did Julieanna Orczewska, a senior in biology and psychology.

该子项目是利用该技术的众多研究子项目之一 资源由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 研究者 (PI) 可能已从 NIH 的另一个来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中表示。列出的机构是 中心，不一定是研究者的机构。 2008 年“UAF：阿拉斯加本土科学教育计划——INBRE”子项目描述草案 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。阿拉斯加 BRIN/INBRE 自 2003 年春季学期起开始资助学生，向对生物医学研究、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 2003 年春季到 2008 年春季，27 名阿拉斯加原住民本科生获得了 BRIN/INBRE 的支持。其中，13人已毕业，3人退学，11人仍在学校。在 13 名已毕业的人中，其中一人在斯坦福大学完成了学士学位后，在梅奥大学读了研究生，但中途退出并在和平队工作；一名就读于约翰霍普金斯大学护士学校，现就读于阿拉斯加原住民部落健康中心 (ANTHC)；一名就读于科罗拉多州物理治疗学校，现就读于 ANTHC；一个是 IBM 的生物工程师；其中一位是诺姆诺顿桑德健康公司糖尿病和健康项目的主管，正在申请医学院；其中一位在申请医学院时在神经科学实验室从事学士后工作，一位完成了中学教学认证，现在是她家乡阿拉斯加州鲁比的科学老师；一名正在申请医师助理学校，一名在锡特卡部落协会的培训和教育办公室工作；其中一人在他的家乡朱诺担任电力线路工。 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：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 2005 年春季，Wilson、Kangas、Lohse 和 Moore 继续研究，Ann Austin（高级，生物学）、R.J.添加了史蒂文斯（大二，工程学）和凯利·汤普森（大三，工程学）。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，新增了 2 名新学生：Kim Dullen（生物大二学生）和 Shauna Sagmoen（化学大二学生）。暑期工作安排包括杜伦 (Dullen) 与阿拉斯加渔猎部门首席兽医一起进行实地和实验室工作、古德布兰克特 (Goodblanket) 在哈佛医学院的暑期研究体验计划、洛斯 (Lohse) 的毕业和斯坦福大学学士学位后一年、坎加斯 (Kangas) 的毕业返回鲁比村帮助家人。摩尔认为她可以通过建筑赚更多的钱，而萨格莫恩则第一次体验了与 UAF 神经生物学研究员凯利·德鲁 (Kelly Drew) 一起在“真正的”实验室工作。威尔逊 (Wilson) 前往斯坦福大学进行暑期研究体验，汤普森 (Thompson) 获得了定期的 INBRE 本科生夏季研究体验奖，继续从事 SIDS 监测设备的研究。另一位工程系学生史蒂文斯 (Stevens) 转学到 UAF 的高空物理项目。 2005 年秋季，Goodblanket 获得了美国内政部印第安人卫生服务部奖学金，Sagmoen、Thompson、Dullen 和 Wilson 根据春季成绩和夏季作业的成功完成情况获得了奖学金。 2006 年。 2006 年春季，Dullen、Goodblanket、Sagmoen、Thompson 和 Wilson 获得了奖学金，一名新生 Grace Peterson 获得了资助，可以在 UAF 生物学教员 Kristin O'Brien 的实验室进行小时工作。今年夏天，和往年夏天一样，许多 ANSEP 学生得到了其他项目的支持，从而履行了暑期的义务。例如，Minnie Goodblanket 参加了俄克拉荷马州的医学预科课程，Kimberley Dullen 获得了阿拉斯加鱼类和狩猎部 (ADFG) 为数不多的实习职位之一，其中还包括学年期间的奖学金援助。 Peterson 继续在 O'Brien 实验室工作，Thompson 毕业并在罗切斯特的 IBM 担任全职工作，Wilson 在 Kelly Drew 的实验室工作，新学生 Rebecca Church 在 Diane O'Brien 的实验室工作。萨格莫恩因家庭问题而退学。 2006 年秋季，杜伦、古德布兰克特、彼得森和威尔逊获得了奖学金。 2007年。2007年春天，丽贝卡·丘奇（Rebecca Church）和格蕾丝·彼得森（Grace Peterson）获得了奖学金资格。威尔逊已经毕业，并在申请医学院时安排到凯莉·德鲁的实验室工作。由于家庭问题，古德布兰克特和杜伦没有完成秋季学期的作业。两名学生 Elizabeth Felker（兽医预科）和 Zazelle Staheli（牙医预科）有资格获得奖学金。暑期经历包括：Donlin金矿（Felker）、ADFG（Dullen）的环境测试、高中生分子生物学试点项目的助教（Church）以及新牙科技师领导下的村里第一批牙科实习生之一计划（斯塔赫利）。 2008年。2008年春季，三名新生获得了奖学金资格。除了 Church、Dullen、Felker 和 Staheli 等学生外，药学预科学生 Carla Nelson 和 Samantha Smith 以及生物学和心理学大四学生 Julieanna Orczewska 也获得了资格。
