In partnership with other organizations, the Northwest Arctic Borough (Borough) proposes to conduct aworkshop in Kotzebue, Alaska during November 2012 to identify ways to improve the involvement of local residents in scientific research projects. The workshop will involve approximately 60 participants, including residents of the 11 Borough communities, students and researchers doing work in the region. The partner organizations who will be involved in organizing the workshop include the University of Alaska Chukchi Campus, NANA Regional Corporation, and theNorthwest Arctic Borough School District. The workshop will build on the findings from related previous workshops and conferences held in this region. This locally-driven workshop will involve discussions on ways to improve local involvement in research, including meaningful participation in planning research design, conducting studies, reviewing preliminary findings, and reporting research results. It will also involve identification of recommendations for future research topics. This workshop will address ways to improve the integration by indigenous knowledge and Western science. The workshop will result in threeprimary outcomes: Development of Principles for Conducting Research in Northwest Alaska, completion of a workshop summary that includes recommended future actions, and establishment of a work group that will address ways toimplement recommendations developed during the workshop.

北极西北区自治市镇与其他组织合作，提议于2012年11月在阿拉斯加州科策布举办一次讲习班，以确定如何提高当地居民参与科学研究项目的程度。该研讨会将涉及约60名参与者，包括11个市镇社区的居民，在该地区工作的学生和研究人员。将参与组织研讨会的合作伙伴组织包括阿拉斯加大学楚科奇校区、NANA地区公司和西北北极区学区。讲习班将借鉴该区域以前举行的有关讲习班和会议的结果。这个由当地驱动的研讨会将讨论如何改善当地参与研究的方式，包括有意义地参与规划研究设计、开展研究、审查初步调查结果和报告研究结果。它还将涉及为今后的研究课题提出建议。该讲习班将讨论如何改进土著知识与西方科学的结合。研讨会将产生三个主要成果：制定阿拉斯加西北部开展研究的原则，完成包括建议未来行动的研讨会摘要，以及建立一个工作组，解决如何实施研讨会期间提出的建议。
