The University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) Bristol Bay Campus (BBC) proposes to strengthen UAF BBC's Environmental Science (ES) and Sustainable Energy (SE) applied science programs. The ES and SE programs were created in response to a community need to enhance STEM knowledge and capacity in order to develop local sustainable solutions to environmental and energy challenges brought on by a rapidly changing world economy and climate.The goal is to improve STEM interest, enrollment, graduation, employment and ultimately to reclaim a sense of stewardship to our place, our land, or Nunaput in Yup'ik, among Native Alaskans in the Bristol Bay region. UAF BBC directly serves over 30 remote villages in southwest Alaska and a growing number of rural Alaska Native communities via distance education. Nunaput will nurture students using a culturally appropriate suite of activities aimed towards student academic success.The intellectual merit of this project is in the ES and SE degree development and their potential benefit to the local community. The Broader impacts may be realized in the preparation of Alaska Native students in these STEM areas as researchers, educators and citizen scientists.

阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯分校布里斯托尔湾校区(BBC)提议加强UAF BBC的环境科学(ES)和可持续能源(SE)应用科学项目。ES和SE计划是为了响应社区的需求而创建的，该社区需要增强STEM的知识和能力，以便制定当地可持续的解决方案，以应对快速变化的世界经济和气候带来的环境和能源挑战。目标是提高STEM的兴趣、入学、毕业和就业，并最终在布里斯托湾地区的阿拉斯加原住民中重新获得对我们的地方、我们的土地或Nunaput的管理感。UAF BBC通过远程教育直接为阿拉斯加西南部的30多个偏远村庄和越来越多的阿拉斯加原住民社区提供服务。Nunaput将利用一套适合学生学术成就的文化活动来培养学生。这个项目的智力价值在于ES和SE学位的发展及其对当地社区的潜在好处。更广泛的影响可能体现在这些STEM地区的阿拉斯加原住民学生成为研究人员、教育工作者和公民科学家的准备工作中。
