New federal grant will support UAF doctoral students

The University of ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ Fairbanks has been awarded a $1.9 million federal grant to support 12 new Ph.D. students at the College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences. The program, Enhancing Marine Ecosystem Research and Graduate Education in ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ, will be funded by the National Science Foundation. EMERGE ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ will support three years' worth of academic and summer stipends, as well as a cost-of-education allowance for graduate fellows starting in 2026. Learn more about the grant program.


Avoid those phishing for your sensitive info

The term "phishing" refers to attempts by a sender to trick the email recipient into taking action, such as clicking on an attachment or surrendering one's credentials or identity details. Often a phishing email looks like it came from someone or something you know and trust. The University of ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ will NEVER ask you to provide any account information like passwords through an email. If you have responded to what you think is a phishing email, NTS can help. Also, if you notice a phishing email that looks convincingly like other UA communication, please also let NTS know. Get more info on reporting "phishy" messages.
