BLaST seeks undergraduate research award proposals

The Biomedical Learning and Student Training program at the University of Alaska Fairbanks
wants undergraduate students interested in biomedicine, one health or subsistence
health to apply for a $3,000 award. The application deadline is Nov. 16, 2015, at midnight.
The BLaST program improves undergraduate training and encourages students from diverse
backgrounds, especially rural Alaska, to pursue biomedical research careers. Students
from UAF and UA Southeast campuses and Ilisagvik College are eligible to apply for
the spring 2016 Undergraduate Research Experience award.

Proposal-writing workshops to help undergraduates will be offered at the International
Arctic Research Center on Oct. 29 in Room 401 and on Nov. 4 in Room 417. Contact Lori Gildehaus in advance at lagildehaus@alaska.edu for more information on audio or videoconferencing options.
