Description
The University of Alaska’s Alaska EPSCoR program offers periodic travel awards supporting participation in conferences, workshops, trainings, and other appropriate academic settings. The awards support professional development through activities such as presenting research, interacting with colleagues and mentors, and obtaining training. Students and early-career professionals receive priority.
The awards are connected to Interface of Change, a project focused on building resilience in Gulf of Alaska coastal communities through co-developed, use-inspired research. Its mission links environmental drivers to wild-harvested and farmed marine resources and models potential community adaptation strategies. Travel should support participation in this project or work closely aligned with its mission and vision.
