This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This is an award to cover the travel and expenses of 11 rural Alaskan students, most from underrepresented groups (Alaska Native) and 4 university faculty members to attend the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC): COP15 in Copenhagen, Denmark, in December 2009. The Convention brings together scientists, policy makers, NGO's, indigenous people, and the public to discuss issues surrounding climate change. The participation of the students in this conference is part of the Arctic Social Science Program's goals to increase the exposure of rural Alaskan students to science in order to develop their knowledge and hopefully their interest in science studies. The participation of the DANRD students at the 15th International Inuit Studies Conference in Paris, France, also supported by ASSP, was instrumental in a number of students completing their coursework and degrees. In this tradition, the PI expects that attendance at COP15 will encourage Rural Development students' interest in science and to pursue science degrees in greater numbers. In addition to attending the convention, the students will meet with students and faculty from the Department of Eskimology at the University of Copenhagen, the International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs, the Indigenous People's Secretariat of the Arctic Council, and the Greenland Home Rule Government while in Copenhagen.

该奖项根据 2009 年《美国复苏与再投资法案》（公法 111-5）提供资助。该奖项用于支付 11 名阿拉斯加农村学生和 4 名大学教职人员的旅费和费用，其中大多数来自阿拉斯加农村地区的学生（大多数来自代表性不足的群体（阿拉斯加原住民））参加 2009 年 12 月在丹麦哥本哈根举行的联合国气候变化框架公约 (UNFCCC)：COP15。该公约汇聚了科学家、政策人士制造商、非政府组织、土著人民和公众讨论有关气候变化的问题。学生参加这次会议是北极社会科学计划目标的一部分，该计划旨在增加阿拉斯加农村学生接触科学的机会，以发展他们的知识并希望他们对科学研究产生兴趣。 DANRD 学生参加了在法国巴黎举行的第 15 届国际因纽特人研究会议，该会议也得到了 ASSP 的支持，这对许多学生完成课程作业和获得学位起到了重要作用。 秉承这一传统，PI 期望参加 COP15 将鼓励农村发展学生对科学的兴趣，并让更多人攻读科学学位。除了参加大会外，学生们还将与哥本哈根大学环境学系、国际土著事务工作组、北极理事会土著人民秘书处和格陵兰地方自治政府的学生和教师会面。在哥本哈根。
