ABSTRACTSGER PI Shannon McNeeleyUCARThis SGER proposal is to co-develop a community based research project "Circle of Knowledge: Climate, Weather and Environmental Change" along the Koyukuk River (Huslia, Hughes, Koyukuk, Alatna, Alakaket), Alaska. The proposed research is appropriate for a SGER as it is "preliminary work on untested and novel ideas," as well as "a venture into emerging research." Traditional knowledge is an emerging research concept in the social sciences that has the potential for developing new ways of thinking not only among social scientists but natural scientists as well. The Arctic Social Sciences Program has funded several projects collecting and identifying traditional concepts of the environment, climate and social relations, but few of these projects were co-developed between scientists and communities, such as proposed here.It is always important for scientist to make solid social relationships and inform people and gain consent prior to undertaking research in Alaska Native communities. This is a well-stated principle in the NSF's "Principals for Conduct of Research in the Arctic." What is unique about this proposal is that the PI is not only making contacts and receiving consent crucial to the success of any scientific research project and all the more crucial among politically empowered Alaska Native communities, but she is consulting Alaska Native communities about the research from its very conception and design. In addition, the proposed SGER will lay the groundwork for future research by the PI in a region that has few research project, the Interior of Alaska among the Koyukon Athabascan people.

这个SGER建议是共同开发一个社区为基础的研究项目“知识圈：气候，天气和环境变化”沿沿着科尤库克河（胡斯利亚，休斯，科尤库克，阿拉特纳，阿拉卡基特），阿拉斯加。 拟议的研究是适当的一个SGER，因为它是“初步工作的未经测试和新颖的想法”，以及“冒险进入新兴的研究。" 传统知识是社会科学中一个新兴的研究概念，不仅有可能在社会科学家中，而且也有可能在自然科学家中发展新的思维方式。 北极社会科学计划资助了几个收集和识别环境，气候和社会关系的传统概念的项目，但这些项目中很少有科学家和社区之间共同开发的，如这里所提议的。科学家在阿拉斯加原住民社区进行研究之前，建立稳固的社会关系，告知人们并获得同意总是很重要的。 这是美国国家科学基金会的“北极研究行为原则”中明确阐述的原则。" 这项提案的独特之处在于，PI不仅与任何科学研究项目的成功都至关重要，而且在政治上获得授权的阿拉斯加原住民社区中更是至关重要，而且她正在就研究的概念和设计咨询阿拉斯加原住民社区。 此外，拟议中的SGER将为PI未来在一个研究项目很少的地区（阿拉斯加内陆的Koyukon Athabascan人）进行研究奠定基础。
