This award supports the participation of approximately 12 researchers drawn from Arctic Indigenous scholars, early career scientists, and students from primarily Alaska to attend the UArctic One Arctic - One Health Conference in Oulu, Finland in February of 2019. The UArctic One Arctic-One Health Conference is hosted in the country that holds the chairmanship of the Arctic Council, which is currently in Finland. The engagement of these new and underrepresented investigators in all aspects of the Congress will facilitate the next generation of interdisciplinary and collaborative researchers who will shape the science of tomorrow.The term 'One Health' was coined by the veterinary profession to identify the relationship between human and animal health and the influence the environment exerts on zoonotic disease outbreaks. Currently, over 70% of the emerging human diseases in the world are of zoonotic origin, making this a critical area of research, education and outreach. As the concept has evolved, the interdependence of animal, human and environmental wellbeing has broadened with the realization that none of these can be truly healthy unless they are all healthy.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.

该奖项支持来自北极土著学者、早期职业科学家和主要来自阿拉斯加的学生中的约12名研究人员参加2019年2月在芬兰奥卢举行的北极一心健康大会。北极一心健康大会是在北极理事会轮值主席国主办的，北极理事会目前在芬兰。这些新的、代表性不足的研究人员参与到大会的各个方面，将促进下一代跨学科和协作的研究人员，他们将塑造明天的科学。兽医专业创造了术语“同一健康”，以确定人与动物健康之间的关系，以及环境对人畜共患病爆发的影响。目前，世界上超过70%的新出现的人类疾病是由人畜共患病引起的，这使其成为研究、教育和宣传的关键领域。随着这一概念的发展，动物、人类和环境福祉之间的相互依存关系不断扩大，人们意识到，除非它们都是健康的，否则这些都不可能是真正的健康。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
