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 ²ÝÁñÉçÇø Fairbanks, will focus on Indigenous knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about localized stressors and their effects on health and well-being in ²ÝÁñÉçÇø. The site will develop and test strategies to assess risk and resilience factors in rural ²ÝÁñÉçÇøn Native communities in highly impacted regions of the state.
