Partial Support for the Planning and Organization of the Tenth International Congress of Arctic Social Sciences

自1992年以来，北极社会科学国际大会（ICASS）汇集了来自世界各地的学者，分享北极社会科学研究的成果，并探索合作机会。大会提供了一个讨论研究方法、战略和结果的机会，并促进了国际合作。它为社会科学和人文科学以及社会科学和自然科学之间的知识传播和思想交流提供了一个场所，并越来越多地包括来自北极和亚北极的土著参与。NSF的资助是美国对ICASS X计划和组织的贡献。资金将用于支持大会科学议程、计划和后勤工作的发展，并支持招募多元化和多学科参与者的努力。具体目标包括：（1）创建和选择组织委员会;（2）制定ICASS主题，呼吁会议，呼吁论文，并选择/审查合适的贡献;（3）制定ICASS X科学计划和后勤;（4）传播有关ICASS X的信息，以确保广泛和多样化地参与大会，重点是让早期职业科学家和土著学者参与;（5）设计外展计划，使当地社区参与并扩大更广泛的影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Since 1992, the International Congress for Arctic Social Sciences (ICASS) has brought together scholars from around the world to share the results from Arctic social science research and explore opportunities for collaboration. The Congress provides an opportunity to discuss research methodologies, strategies, and results, and promotes international collaboration. It provides a venue for the dissemination of knowledge and cross-fertilization of thought in social sciences and humanities, between the social and natural sciences, and increasingly includes Indigenous participation from the Arctic and Sub-Arctic. NSF funding is a US contribution to planning and organization of ICASS X. Funds will support the development of the scientific agenda, program, and logistics for the Congress and support efforts to recruit a diverse and multidisciplinary group of participants. Specific objectives include: (1) create and select the Organizing Committee; (2) develop ICASS themes, calls for sessions, calls for papers, and selection/review of suitable contributions; (3) develop ICASS X scientific program and logistics; (4) disseminate the information about ICASS X to ensure broad and diverse participation in the Congress with the emphasis to engage early career scientists and Indigenous scholars; (5) design the outreach plan to engage local communities and extend broader impacts.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.
