This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $1,381,876 to the University of Alaska Fairbanks to implement the "NEQPIAPUT IINRUUGUT (OUR FOOD IS MEDICINE): TESTING A TRIBALLY-DRIVEN INTERVENTION TO PREVENT HEART DISEASE AMONG ALASKA NATIVE COMMUNITIES" intervention. The 12-month, strengths-based and tribally led program aims to address disparities in coronary heart disease among Yup'ik Alaska Native communities in the Yukon Kuskokwim Delta region. The intervention blends an established Yup'ik elder-designed behavioral health program with workshops on traditional Yup'ik foodways, delivered through monthly in-person gatherings, quarterly hands-on workshops, and an online community platform. This project seeks to reconnect Yup'ik people with their cultural strengths and address the root causes of heart disease, including the impacts of colonization and historical trauma, rather than solely focusing on individual dietary behaviors. The award period runs from September 2025 through July 2027.
