UAF: ALASKA NATIVE SCIENCE EDUCATION PROGRAM--INBRE

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 中心，不一定是研究者的机构。 阿拉斯加土著科学和工程计划（ANSEP）整合了推广，招聘，保留和安置策略，以促进大学的成功，保持对STEM领域的兴趣，并鼓励研究生学习。起源于阿拉斯加安克雷奇大学的工程专业学生，ANSEP提高了美国原住民在工程项目中的保留率（73%与全国平均水平27%）。2002年，ANSEP计划开始在UAF为工程专业的学生。BRIN/INBRE自2003年春季学期以来一直赞助学生，将ANSEP类型的奖学金和实习机会扩大到对生物医学研究、医学或其他专业学位或生物信息学感兴趣的学生。从04年7月到05年6月，我们颁发了13个奖学金，1个学习领导奖，2个GPA奖。INBRE还帮助支持了2004年5月的UAF ANSEP颁奖宴会。自2003年以来，在接受BRIN/INBRE支持的19名学生中，有3名已经毕业（2人受雇于诺顿桑德医院，1人被约翰霍普金斯护理方案录取），2人已辍学但计划返回，5人将于2005年5月毕业，其余的人在学校，参加暑期实习或项目。 INBRE/ANSEP奖学金的资格要求1）每周参加美国印第安人科学与工程学会（AISES）会议，2）最低3.0 GPA，3）申请，个人陈述，简历和推荐信。继续授予$2500/学期奖学金取决于基于1）在ANSEP和AISES每周会议出席，2）在补充指令和同伴学习小组的参与持续的成就（如果是小组学习领导者，则每学期奖励500美元），3）积极参加一个学生专业组织社团，和4）每学期至少12个学分，所有课程最低2.0（如果3.0+，奖金为250美元/学期）。在夏季，学生被安排在至少8周的专业实习，每周评估。 2004年夏天，四名ANSEP学生在UAF实验室工作：继续参与者Crystal邓肯和新参与者Lonita Lohse，Courtney摩尔和Alice Kangas。安·威尔逊参加了哈佛医学院的暑期研究体验项目。 2004年秋季学期6名学生获得奖学金：安威尔逊，水晶邓肯，米妮古德毯子，爱丽丝康加斯，考特尼摩尔，和洛尼塔洛塞。研究领导奖授予Lohse，GPA奖授予Lohse和Kangas。在2005年春天，威尔逊，坎加斯，洛塞和摩尔继续和安奥斯汀（高级，生物），R. J.史蒂文斯（大二，工程）和凯利汤普森（初级，工程）被添加。工程专业的学生正在从事生物医学类型的项目，尽管UAF没有正式的生物工程项目。2005年夏季，将增加2名新学生：金杜伦（大二，生物）和肖纳萨格莫恩（大二，化学）。

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).
