The National Science Foundation (NSF) has released an announcement about their recent Arctic investments.

NSF recently funded 17 projects totaling $26.7 million, which will directly support 69 investigators across 21 different institutions in addition to funding students and postdoctoral scholars. These projects focus on multi-discipline research across the social, natural, and built environment including those with the potential for engagement with Arctic communities.

NSF is also partnering with University of Colorado Boulder, Alaska Pacific University, and University of Alaska Fairbanks on a five-year, nearly $5 million cooperative agreement for a Navigating the New Arctic Community Office.

The office will support innovations across engineering and the social, natural, environmental, and computing and information sciences by focusing on four key areas:

  • Co-production of knowledge with Indigenous Peoples,
  • Convergence research,
  • Culturally responsive education and outreach and open science for greater integrity, and
  • Data sharing and reproducibility across decision-making communities.
