Subject: Journalism opportunity for college students

American Indian students will be paid to write for their school newspaper even if their tribal colleges don't have one. 3Reznet2 a new online newspaper, will hire 20 Native American college students around the country as reporters and pay them $50 a story to cover their tribal communities or colleges. "Reznet" reporters potentially can write one story per week, earning as much as $200 per month. Some of the reporters also will receive digital cameras. Transmitting the stories and photos to the newspaper will all be done via email. In addition to salary, the 3reznet2 reporters will receive college credit for their work, making the project the first distance-learning journalism course available to tribal colleges. While the intent of 3reznet2 is to produce more Natives entering professional journalism, project organizers also hope the newspaper will become an important, popular and crowded place for Native students to gather on the internet. Anyone interested in working for 3reznet2 or in obtaining more information should call McAuliffe at 406-243-2191, or email him at mcauliff@selway.umt.edu

Philip G. Hubbard Law School Preparation Program launched

The University of Iowa College of Law will use a $100,000 grant from the Law School Admission Council to launch the Philip G. Hubbard Law School Preparation Program for college juniors and seniors. The program seeks to support diversity in the legal profession by inspiring historically under-represented groups to become lawyers and to provide those groups with the skills and assistance that will strengthen their preparation for law school. The 2002 Hubbard Program will be held at the UI College of Law from June 14 to July 12, and will be led by UI Law Professor Marcella David. The Hubbard Program is named in honor of Hubbard, who died last January and was a former UI vice president and mechanical engineering professor. Hubbard was the first African-American professor at the UI and a voice of conscience and caring throughout the University community for over five decades. Upon his death, UI President Mary Sue Coleman lauded "his drive for scholarship and his passion for fairness, equality, and human rights." Participants will be selected among applicants who will be starting in their junior or senior year of college in fall 2002, and those selected will be designated as Hubbard Fellows. Particularly encouraged to apply are students currently attending:

A four-year public or private college or university in the state of Iowa A historically black college or university in the United States An American Indian tribal college in the United States A predominately Hispanic college or university in the United States

The Hubbard Program is comprised of intensive classes, workshops, and other activities intended to build skills in legal analysis, legal writing, and the study of legal concepts. In 2002, many of the classes, workshops and writing exercises in the Hubbard Program are expected to focus on combating international terrorism under U.S. and international law, says David in a description of the program. The program will feature an intensive writing curriculum with frequent evaluations and feedback to students. Courses will help develop critical reading, analytical and logical reasoning, problem solving, advocacy, and listening skills. The program will also include special lectures by professionals, visits to courts, police facilities, public defenders' offices and other legal venues, and workshops in Law School Admissions Test preparation. N. William Hines, dean of the UI College of Law, noted the program's excellent fit with the College's traditional goals and curricula. The Hubbard Program welcomes questions from potential participants, undergraduate instructors, and pre-law advisers. Inquiries should be sent to:

OBJECTIVES: COMMUNITY-BASED PROGRAM FOR HEALTH SURVEILLANCE AND DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF DIABETES SOL RFP-536 DUE 050602 POC The Indian Health Service (IHS) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have entered into an interagency agreement to jointly support and conduct programs to perform health research and improve medical services in the Gila River Indian Community (GRIC). The major research activity carried out under this agreement is an NIH research protocol. Prospective Studies of the Natural History of Diabetes Mellitus and its Complications in the Gila River Indian Community. This proposed project will extend the scope of this protocol by interviewing and examining community residents outside of the clinic and improving health care for residents with diabetes. There are three research and service components of this project as follows:
Verify and update the census of districts 1-5 of the GRIC maintained by the NIH. Obtain basic health data that can be ascertained in a community setting, i.e., at the particpant's home or workplace. Implement the goal of ensuring that all community members are tested for diabetes and that diabetic members receive monitoring for diabetes control and complications according to current standards of care.
The project involves participants who are Southwestern American Indians, most of whom are Pima Indians, who live in the GRIC. Most either have, or are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The project needs to be carried out by staff with expertise in population and clinical studies among American Indians.

OBJECTIVES: The sponsor supports research in the earth, ocean and atmospheric sciences.This program addresses the problem of underrepresentation of certain groups across the geosciences. These groups have been identified as underrepresented in the geosciences when compared to their proportion of the general population. The primary goal of the program is to increase the participation in geoscience education and research by students from these groups. A major focus is on increasing participation and/or opportunities for African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans (American Indians and Alaskan Natives), Native Pacific Islanders (Polynesians or Micronesians) and persons with disabilities. A secondary goal of the program is to strengthen the understanding of the geosciences and their contribution to modern society by a broad and diverse segment of the population. The program supports activities that strengthen geoscience teaching and learning in ways that improve access and retention of these underrepresented groups in the geosciences. Typical project strategies include enhanced research experiences for students, strengthening of infrastructure at institutions that serve underrepresented groups, and support of collaborations between minority institutions and established research programs at colleges and universities or centers. The program will provide support for projects that undertake one or more of the following three activities: activities that facilitate the establishment, development and enhancement of geoscience educational and research capabilities in historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), minority serving institutions (MSIs) and tribal colleges; activities that foster educational and research partnerships/collaborations/exchanges between and among minority serving institutions, traditional majority serving institutions (i.e. two and four-year colleges, universities), research centers, professional and industrial organizations; and outreach activities to underrepresented groups. ELIGIBILITY Individuals may be Principal Investigator on only one proposal. FUNDING In exceptional cases, awards for up to five years may be considered. For larger collaborations and partnerships, budgets are not expected to exceed $400K per year. The program expects to make approximately eight standard or continuing awards depending on the quality of submissions and the availability of funds. Approximately $2 million will be available for this initiative in FY 2002. If equipment or instrumentation is requested, costs may not exceed thirty percent of the total budget requested.
