The University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) received a $100,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. This 1-year planning grant convenes a group of university researchers, tribal leaders, and partners to generate a new vision for how universities and tribal nations can collaborate to develop research protocols and projects addressing social and environmental crises facing indigenous and all communities. The planning grant aims to establish the framework for the proposed Center for Indigenous Knowledge and Stewardship (CIKS), which would serve as a national model for bridging indigenous and western sciences to address critical issues. The award reflects NSF's focus on promoting fundamental social science research and inclusive scientific approaches that incorporate diverse knowledge systems.
