The Institute for Circumpolar Health Studies was
created by the Alaska State Legislature in 1988 (AS 14.40.088) to
develop new solutions to health problems in Alaska and the circumpolar
north. The Institute provides support and coordination for health
research, information, and training.
ICHS is located
on the University of Alaska Anchorage campus and houses the Center
for Alcohol and Addiction Studies. Working
closely with faculty throughout the University of Alaska system,
ICHS provides technical assistance and support to increase the capacity
within the state to address the health needs of all Alaskans. ICHS
also encourages student involvement through academic course work,
internships, and research assistantships.
