Alaskan Native Marine Science Enhancement Program

该项目旨在介绍阿拉斯加土著 本科生通过海洋科学研究 实习 理由是，沿海的土著居民 阿拉斯加的居民与海洋有着深厚的联系 环境，特别是生物资源。 因此，海洋科学可能更吸引 他们最初比其他科学领域。 学生在他们的 大二，或者可能是大一，在选定的沿海 机构，以及阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯 校园，将有机会参加 海洋科学实习。 与一位教师密切合作， 导师，每个学生将通过动手学习研究 经验和个人辅导。 沿海学生 将鼓励网站移动到高级校园，以追求 科学领域的学士学位，以及那些选择 这样做将得到持续的支持和指导， 鼓励他们的成功。大约5个学生奖学金 在这个为期三年的项目中，每年都会提供。

This project is designed to introduce Alaskan Native undergraduate students to scientific study through marine internships. The rationale is that the coastal Native populations of Alaska have a deep involvement with the marine environment, and especially with its biological resources. Marine science is therefore likely to be more attractive to them initially than other areas of science. Students in their sophomore, or possibly freshman, year at selected coastal institutions, as well as the University of Alaska Fairbanks campuses, will be offered the opportunity to participate in marine science internships. Working closely with a faculty mentor, each student will learn about research through hands-on experience as well as individual tutoring. Students at coastal sites will be encouraged to move to a senior campus to pursue baccalaureate degrees in scientific areas, and those that chose to do so would receive continued support and mentoring to encourage their success. Approximately five student fellowships are to be offered each year of this three year project.
