This award supports a workshop designed to explore indigenous perspectives on scientific research and research processes in western Alaska. The workshop will focus on: a) the types of scientific research being conducted in and near indigenous communities of the Kawerak region; b) how these studies are being conducted, whether collaboratively with communities or not; c) and to elicit the impressions and suggestions of indigenous communities about the science being conducted in their region and how they might engage more directly with the scientists and their projects. The workshop will bring together approximately 20 individuals, most of whom will be Alaska Native people from western Alaska who are involved in scientific research and knowledgeable of the research being conducted in the region. Additional workshop participants will include other science research stakeholders, including some of the scientists doing research in the region. The workshop organizers will structure the multi-day workshop around the topics and objectives outlined above. A report summarizing and analyzing the results of the workshop will be produced which addresses the main research topics and questions and suggests avenues for future research on this topic. An additional goal for the workshop is to lay some of the groundwork for a full research project that would be a meta-study of scientific research in Alaska Native communities from an anthropological perspective. In addition, the NSF Division of Ocean Sciences (OCE), Ship Operations Program, is contributing to the workshop; the Kawerak Region is on the Bering Sea and the program is very interested in ways that ship-based science can engage local people, primarily Alaska Native communities, in their research projects. These specific questions will be one of the topics of discussion for the workshop.

该奖项支持一个研讨会，旨在探索阿拉斯加西部科学研究和研究过程中的土著观点。讲习班的重点是：a)Kawerak地区土著社区内和附近正在进行的科学研究的类型；b)这些研究是如何进行的，无论是否与社区合作；c)并征求土著社区对他们所在地区正在进行的科学的印象和建议，以及他们如何能够更直接地与科学家及其项目接触。讲习班将汇集约20名个人，其中大多数将是来自阿拉斯加西部的阿拉斯加原住民，他们参与了科学研究，并了解该地区正在进行的研究。其他研讨会参与者将包括其他科学研究利益攸关方，包括在该地区进行研究的一些科学家。研讨会组织者将围绕上述主题和目标安排为期数天的研讨会。将编写一份总结和分析讲习班结果的报告，阐述主要研究专题和问题，并为今后对这一专题的研究提出建议。讲习班的另一个目标是为一个完整的研究项目奠定一些基础，该项目将从人类学的角度对阿拉斯加土著社区的科学研究进行元研究。此外，美国国家科学基金会海洋科学部(OCE)船舶作业方案正在为研讨会做出贡献；Kawerak地区位于白令海，该方案对基于船舶的科学如何让当地人，主要是阿拉斯加原住民参与他们的研究项目非常感兴趣。这些具体问题将是研讨会的讨论议题之一。
