CHOOSE YOUR PROGRAM EXPERIENCE:
PROGRAM INFORMATION:
Alaska Native and American Indian people have historically been
underrepresented among researchers and health scientists. There
is a need for Western-trained researchers to be more culturally
aware, respectful and responsive in meeting the diverse health
care needs of these Indigenous communities.
PROGRAM GOAL:
The goal of Alaska Indigenous Research Program is to increase
the health research capacity of Alaska Native/American Indian
people and communities by providing Indigenous-centered,
cross-cultural research education and internships.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:
• Understand Indigenous views and apply Two-Eyed Seeing
framework
• Conduct equitable and ethical health research with Alaska
Native/American Indian people and communities
• Apply appropriate research methods (Indigenous and Western)
• Understand historical and cultural context where health
research is conducted
