The National Science Foundation's Division of Biological Infrastructure awarded $569,271 to the Sitka Sound Science Center (operating as the Ahlgren Aquarium) on August 1, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). This Project Grant will fund the construction of modern, safe, and reliable lodging facilities for visiting researchers, students, and postdoctoral scholars conducting multidisciplinary research in Southeast Alaska. The dedicated research accommodation facility is designed to support year-round scientific operations and will address current housing constraints in Sitka that limit scientific access and long-term research collaboration during peak summer field seasons. The project will enhance the Nation's research capacity on globally significant issues including marine ecosystem change, landslide hazards, forest dynamics, fisheries productivity, and community resilience in Arctic and Sub-Arctic environments. Beyond infrastructure development, the improved accommodations will strengthen partnerships among researchers, tribal governments, and rural communities while broadening participation in STEM research and education through the center's established public engagement programs, including Scientists in the Schools, Sitka Whalefest, public seminars, radio programming, and scientist-in-residency initiatives. The project is scheduled for completion by July 31, 2027.
