Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) is one of NSF's 10 Big Ideas. NNA projects address convergence scientific challenges in the rapidly changing Arctic. The Arctic research is needed to inform the economy, security and resilience of the Nation, the larger region and the globe. NNA empowers new research partnerships from local to international scales, diversifies the next generation of Arctic researchers, and integrates the co-production of knowledge. This award fulfills part of that aim. Arctic ecosystems are transforming at rates that far exceed generations of living memory of Arctic Indigenous residents, resulting in local-to-global impacts. This innovative planning grant centers on collaborative science that incorporates Indigenous values, cultural practices, and frameworks to innovate new forms of scholarship to inform society's most pressing challenges. This project team and partners will develop collaborative learning processes that will center on Indigenous approaches in the sciences, advancing a key goal of the Navigating the New Arctic initiative - the "co-production of knowledge." This concept is reflected in the project's title, Atautchikkun Ilitchisukluta, from the Inupiaq language meaning "coming together to learn." This approach sets the stage for building responsible, ethical, and intentional relationships merging both Indigenous and western knowledge and science, co-conceiving how to most appropriately address the Arctic's most pressing questions and needs, and thus providing a roadmap towards the implementation of future convergence research. This framework is intended to serve as a blueprint for developing other Arctic research activities. This project draws upon and strengthens existing relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous university scientists, Indigenous Tribes and organizations, international collaborators, and communities in the Beaufort Sea regions of the U.S. and Canadian Arctic. The project team and partners will undertake an intentional and collaborative year-long planning process to design a multi-day learning event, likely to be hosted in Utqiagvik (formerly Barrow), Alaska. Goals of this planning process and learning event are to: (1) Strengthen the relationships necessary for crossing boundaries to co-produce research questions and a project design, which address key changes facing Arctic communities and their coastal ecosystems; (2) Develop a shared mutually respectful process of knowledge co-production and co-create a central conceptual model that will form the centerpiece of a Navigating the New Arctic Track 1 proposal; (3) Provide space for mutual learning through the inclusion and mentorship of Indigenous youth as the next generation of scientists and community leaders. Participants in this project will link deep levels of expertise that span many boundaries, including: Indigenous and western knowledge systems; social, natural, and engineering sciences; U.S., Canadian, Inupiaq, Inuvialuit nations; elders and youth.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.

航行新北极(NNA)是NSF的十大想法之一。NNA项目解决了快速变化的北极地区汇聚的科学挑战。北极研究需要为国家、更大区域和全球的经济、安全和韧性提供信息。NNA增强了新的研究伙伴关系，从地方到国际范围，使下一代北极研究人员多样化，并整合了共同生产的知识。这一奖项部分实现了这一目标。北极生态系统的变化速度远远超过了北极土著居民几代人的记忆，造成了从局部到全球的影响。这一创新的规划拨款以合作科学为中心，融合了土著价值观、文化实践和框架，以创新学术的新形式，为社会最紧迫的挑战提供信息。该项目团队和合作伙伴将开发以科学中的本土方法为中心的协作学习过程，推进导航新北极倡议的一个关键目标--“共同生产知识”。这一概念反映在该项目的标题Atautchikkun Ilitchisukluta中，该名称来自Inupiaq语言，意思是“聚在一起学习”。这一方法为建立负责任的、伦理的和有意的关系奠定了基础，融合了土著和西方的知识和科学，共同设想如何以最适当的方式解决北极最紧迫的问题和需求，从而为未来融合研究的实施提供了路线图。这一框架旨在作为发展其他北极研究活动的蓝图。该项目利用并加强了土著和非土著大学科学家、土著部落和组织、国际合作者以及美国和加拿大北极波弗特海地区社区之间的现有关系。项目团队和合作伙伴将进行为期一年的有目的和协作的规划过程，以设计一个可能在阿拉斯加乌特恰格维克(前巴罗)举办的为期数天的学习活动。这一规划进程和学习活动的目标是：(1)加强跨越边界以共同产生研究问题和项目设计所必需的关系，这些问题和项目设计涉及北极社区及其沿海生态系统所面临的关键变化；(2)制定共同的相互尊重的共同产生知识的进程，共同创建一个核心概念模型，该模型将成为“航行新北极轨道1”提案的核心部分；(3)通过接纳土著青年作为下一代科学家和社区领袖并对其进行指导，为相互学习提供空间。该项目的参与者将联系跨越许多边界的深层次专业知识，包括：土著和西方知识体系；社会、自然和工程科学；美国、加拿大、因努皮亚克、因努维亚卢特国家；老年人和年轻人。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
