The National Science Foundation's Division of Undergraduate Education awarded $888,749 to the University of Alaska Fairbanks for the project "Ikayuqluta: Developing a Rural Alaska STEM Workforce Through Collaborative Place-Based STEM" under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076). This three-year project, funded from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2029, develops an Occupational Endorsement in Science (OE) program designed to prepare science and technology professionals equipped to address STEM-related challenges specific to rural Alaska communities. The program integrates classroom coursework, faculty-mentored research experiences with industry STEM professionals, and community-based field experiences to build students' capacity to apply technical knowledge to context-relevant issues such as developing reliable heat sources for Alaska's harsh winters. The project's primary deliverable is a customized occupational endorsement curriculum and associated coursework that prepares graduates to fill workforce gaps in remote Alaskan communities. This "grow-your-own" workforce development model targets UAF Bristol Bay students, combining academic instruction with hands-on research and applied problem-solving grounded in local subsistence and infrastructure needs. By bridging classroom learning with authentic workplace and community experiences, the program aims to graduate STEM professionals qualified to address the unique technical and environmental challenges facing Alaska's isolated regions, thereby supporting the well-being and sustainability of these communities.
