This proposal, PI Eleanor Sterling, is to increase the participation of Arctic residents in science by ensuring their participation in the Spring Symposium at the American Museum of Natural History. The symposium will explore a range of topics under the theme "Sustaining Cultural and Biological Diversity in a Rapidly Changing World: Lessons for Global Policy" and aims to bring leading scientists, practitioners, members of indigenous, tribal and local communities, the public and NGO's together to engage in a dialog across disciplines, cultures and knowledge systems in order to "forge a long-term multi-dimensional vision for research into sustaining biological and cultural diversity." ASSP support is for the participation of four Arctic residents from Alaska, Canada, Finland, and Russia. These Arctic participants will give a public presentation during the conference and will participate in the discussions surrounding the three topics mentioned above. The anticipated outcome of the conference are an academic publication of the papers and a policy paper which will be presented to the UN Permanent Forum on Indigneous Issues, UNEP, UNESCO, WIPO, FAO and various other national and international NGOs and governmental organizations as a lead-up to the 2008 World Conservation Congress.In responding to the NSF Strategic Plan 2006-2011 "Investing in America's Future," which states that the Goal of Learning is to "Cultivate a world-class, broadly inclusive science and engineering workforce, and expand the scientific literacy of all citizens," the Arctic Social Science Program endeavors to expose Arctic communities to all aspects of science, from early learning experiences, to higher education, to participation in science policy. The AMNH symposium offers a unique opportunity for Arctic residents to participate in a dialog that will inform science research agendas on topics of relevance to the Arctic Social Science Program, e.g., the future sustainability of language and culture throughout this millennium.

PI Eleanor Sterling 提出的这项提案旨在通过确保北极居民参加美国自然历史博物馆春季研讨会来增加他们对科学的参与。研讨会将以“在快速变化的世界中维持文化和生物多样性：全球政策的教训”为主题，探讨一系列主题，旨在让顶尖科学家、从业者、土著、部落和当地社区成员、公众和非政府组织参与其中。共同参与跨学科、文化和知识体系的对话，以“为维持生物和文化多样性的研究制定长期的多维愿景”。 ASSP 支持来自阿拉斯加、加拿大、芬兰和俄罗斯的四名北极居民的参与。这些北极参与者将在会议期间进行公开演讲，并将参与围绕上述三个主题的讨论。会议的预期成果是论文的学术出版物和政策文件，将提交给联合国土著问题常设论坛、环境署、教科文组织、产权组织、粮农组织和其他各种国家和国际非政府组织和政府组织作为牵头- 2008 年世界自然保护大会。响应 NSF 2006-2011 年战略计划“投资美国的未来”，该计划指出学习的目标是“培养世界一流的、广泛包容的科学和工程劳动力，并提高所有公民的科学素养，”北极社会科学计划致力于让北极社区接触科学的各个方面，从早期学习经历到高等教育，再到参与科学政策。 AMNH 研讨会为北极居民提供了参与对话的独特机会，该对话将为北极社会科学计划相关主题的科学研究议程提供信息，例如，整个千年语言和文化的未来可持续性。
