This award constitutes partial support for the Ninth International Congress of Arctic Social Science (ICASS IX), which will be held in June 2017 at Umea University, Umea, Sweden. Since 1992 ICASS has brought together scholars from around the world to share Arctic social science and humanities research. The Congress provides an opportunity to share research methodologies, strategies and results, and promotes international collaboration, not only among scholars, but also between scholars and practitioners. ICASS IX will address Arctic issues, and particularly issues of sustainability and sustainable development in the Arctic, from numerous multi and interdisciplinary standpoints, within the social sciences and humanities, between the social and natural sciences, and including Indigenous knowledge. All of these approaches will advance new ways of understanding the Arctic, a key region of our changing planet, both in the academic community and among the public. The requested funding will support the participation of early career researchers, Indigenous scholars, as well as northern Indigenous community members. The Congress will foster expanded collaborations between U.S. scholars and social scientists from other Arctic counties and strengthen the leading U.S. role in advancing Arctic social sciences. NSF support will also ensure that Alaska receives a prominent place at the Congress, thus benefitting Alaska scholars, residents and Alaska Native communities in particular.ICASS brings together scholars and other researchers interested in issues of the North. The focus of this Congress will be on "People and Place" and the requested funding will be used to support the participation of early career researchers, Indigenous scholars, northern Indigenous community members, and participants from remote, underrepresented regions. Arctic researchers in the social sciences and humanities have a great responsibility to address the challenges of sustainable development in the Arctic, with a specific focus on the people that live there, including Alaska. ICASS IX will address a broad array of Arctic issues, in particular the issues of sustainability and sustainable development in the Arctic. Like previous ICASS meetings, this Congress will include a strong focus on Indigenous knowledge and perspectives. The organizers, Andrey Petrov, Diane Hirshberg (members of the organizing committee), and Peter Skold (President of the International Arctic Social Sciences Association) will help build interdisciplinary capacity and scholarship by supporting an increased participation in the Congress scholars representing a broad spectrum of disciplines. This in turn will provide new insights into key areas of concern both from scientists and the public on the long term sustainability of northern development and community well-being.

该奖项构成了第九届国际北极社会科学大会（ICASS IX）的部分支持，该大会将于2017年6月在瑞典UMEA UMEA大学举行。自1992年以来，ICASS将来自世界各地的学者汇集在一起​​，分享北极社会科学与人文研究。国会提供了共享研究方法，战略和结果的机会，并不仅在学者和学者和从业者之间促进国际合作。 ICASS IX将解决北极问题，尤其是北极的可持续性和可持续发展问题，从社会科学和人文，社会科学和自然科学之间以及包括土著知识在内的社会科学和人文科学中，在社会科学和人文科学中以及包括土著知识之间。 所有这些方法都将推动理解北极的新方法，这是我们在学术界和公众中不断变化的地球的关键区域。要求的资金将支持早期职业研究人员，土著学者以及北部土著社区成员的参与。国会将促进美国学者与社会科学家之间从其他北极县进行的合作，并加强美国在推进北极社会科学方面的领先作用。 NSF的支持还将确保阿拉斯加在国会获得重要地位，从而使阿拉斯加的学者，居民和阿拉斯加土著社区受益。ICASS汇集了对北方问题感兴趣的学者和其他研究人员。该国会的重点将放在“人和地点”上，并将使用所要求的资金来支持早期职业研究人员，土著学者，北部土著社区成员以及来自偏远，代表性不足地区的参与者的参与。社会科学和人文科学领域的北极研究人员有巨大的责任来应对北极可持续发展的挑战，特别关注居住在包括阿拉斯加在内的人们。 ICASS IX将解决各种各样的北极问题，尤其是北极的可持续性和可持续发展问题。 像以前的ICASS会议一样，该国会将重点关注土著知识和观点。组织者，安德烈·彼得罗夫（Andrey Petrov），戴安娜·赫希伯格（Diane Hirshberg）（组织委员会成员）和彼得·斯科尔德（Peter Skold）（国际北极社会科学协会主席）将通过支持更多代表广泛群体的国会学者的参与来帮助建立跨学科的能力和奖学金。反过来，这将为科学家和公众对北方发展和社区福祉的长期可持续性的关注关键领域提供新的见解。
