URM Alaska: In from the Cold is a three year pilot project at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) that is designed to prepare under-represented minority undergraduate students for post graduate studies and research careers in the biological sciences. The strategy for meeting this goal is to engage students in exciting, publishable research projects under the the guidance of established faculty and to provide them with a strong mentoring component to keep them retained in science. The program will target junior Alaska Native students and provide them with annual stipends, travel to professional meetings, and research supplies. Faculty mentors will help students develop their laboratory and communication skills. The student research experience will be supplemented with a science career seminar series and group networking activities. Four students will be recruited the first year. An additional four students are expected to participate in the second year. At the end of 3 years, it is expected that eight Native Alaska students would have completed the program, with each cohort spending 2 years in the program. About half of the students will be enrolled in the Biochemistry/Molecular Biology program and the other half will be in the Biology and Wildlife Program.

URM阿拉斯加：来自寒冷是阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯（UAF）的一个为期三年的试点项目，旨在为代表性不足的少数民族本科生在生物科学领域的研究生学习和研究生涯做好准备。实现这一目标的策略是让学生在既定教师的指导下参与令人兴奋的，可持续的研究项目，并为他们提供强大的指导组件，以保持他们在科学中的保留。该计划将针对初级阿拉斯加原住民学生，并为他们提供年度津贴，前往专业会议和研究用品。教师导师将帮助学生发展他们的实验室和沟通技巧。学生的研究经验将补充科学职业研讨会系列和小组网络活动。 第一年将招收四名学生。预计第二年将有另外四名学生参加。在3年结束时，预计8名阿拉斯加原住民学生将完成该计划，每个队列在该计划中花费2年。大约一半的学生将参加生物化学/分子生物学课程，另一半将参加生物学和野生动物课程。更多信息可通过[e-mail]或访问www.uaf.edu/chem向PI托马斯·克劳森博士索取。
