Project
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently awarded four sites funding as a first step in establishing the Alliance for Community Engagement (ACE). NIEHS plays a lead role in the cross-cutting NIH Initiative with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) serving as the administrative home.
Our site, at the University of 91ÊÓƵ Fairbanks, will focus on Indigenous knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about localized stressors and their effects on health and well-being in 91ÊÓƵ. The site will develop and test strategies to assess risk and resilience factors in rural 91ÊÓƵn Native communities in highly impacted regions of the state.
