This planning award supports the development of a sustainable, collaborative, and participatory research program focused on urban Indigenous food systems in Alaska. As rural residents have migrated to urban centers, such as Anchorage, reliance on traditional foods has changed and food insecurity has increased. This work will lay the foundation for the first study of how migration affects urban Indigenous food security at the household and community levels in Alaska. The project is structured in three phases and involves development of partnerships with tribal organizations, local leaders, and scholars to identify priorities for urban food security research. Planned meetings will focus on assessing the role of and access to traditional foods in urban settings; how rural-to-urban migration affects food security; and how research can support urban food security. Over the two-year duration of the project, the PI team will network with local leaders, food organizations, and scholars working on Indigenous food security and food sovereignty in Anchorage. Through a series of in-person and virtual meetings, network participants will use a participatory and collaborative approach to identify research and outreach priorities. These priorities will form the foundation of a future NSF proposal addressing how access, availability and use of traditional foods affects food security. Broader impacts include development of a multidisciplinary network of food security researchers and practitioners with Indigenous representation; a review article that addresses urban Indigenous food security; and experiential learning by two undergraduate researchers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该规划奖支持开发一个可持续、协作和参与性的研究项目，重点关注阿拉斯加城市土著粮食系统。随着农村居民迁移到安克雷奇等城市中心，对传统食品的依赖发生了变化，粮食不安全状况加剧。这项工作将为首次研究移民如何影响阿拉斯加家庭和社区层面的城市土著粮食安全奠定基础。该项目分为三个阶段，涉及与部落组织、地方领导人和学者发展伙伴关系，以确定城市粮食安全研究的优先事项。计划举行的会议将重点评估城市环境中传统食品的作用和获取传统食品的机会；从农村到城市的移徙如何影响粮食安全；以及研究如何支持城市粮食安全。在该项目的两年期间，PI 团队将与安克雷奇当地领导人、粮食组织和致力于土著粮食安全和粮食主权的学者建立联系。通过一系列面对面和虚拟会议，网络参与者将使用参与和协作的方法来确定研究和推广优先事项。这些优先事项将构成未来 NSF 提案的基础，该提案涉及传统食品的获取、供应和使用如何影响粮食安全。更广泛的影响包括建立一个由具有土著代表性的粮食安全研究人员和从业人员组成的多学科网络；一篇讨论城市土著粮食安全的评论文章；以及两名本科生研究人员的体验式学习。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
