Wabanaki Public Health & Wellness (WPHW) received a $463,435 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), effective March 13, 2026 through February 29, 2028. The award funds the Wabanaki Tribal Undergraduate to Graduate Training and Leadership Experiences (TURTLE) program, an undergraduate research training initiative designed to develop a pipeline of Wabanaki health researchers capable of addressing health disparities within American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. The program addresses a critical gap: fewer than five Wabanaki citizens currently hold postgraduate health-research training degrees focused on Wabanaki health disparities, despite the community experiencing significantly elevated health challenges, including a diabetes prevalence of 17.0% compared to 9.6% among Maine residents. Under this award, WPHW will develop and implement a comprehensive research training program that enhances undergraduate students' technical, operational, and professional skills required to conduct AI/AN health research in a culturally appropriate and ethically responsible manner. The program will support students in completing bachelor's degrees in biomedical fields while preparing them for transitions into health research careers focused on Wabanaki and broader AI/AN health and health disparities. Performance of the work will take place in Bangor, Maine, serving the four federally recognized tribes of Maine.WABANAKI TURTLE Cooperative Agreement Summary
