The causes and consequences of Arctic change are so complex that it takes a community-focused effort to understand the current pressures on Arctic social-ecological systems. This award supports a multi-disciplinary, inter-generational, cross-cultural, and forward-looking conference that brings together participants to focus on enhancing arctic science and engineering (EASE) in conjunction with the 75th Anniversary of the Naval Arctic Research Laboratory in Utqiaġvik, Alaska. The EASE workshop serves the interest of the nation by bringing together agencies, universities, non-governmental organizations, the private sector, local officials, students, and Indigenous knowledge holders to demonstrate the achievements of collaborative and community-based research in Utqiaġvik and the greater North Slope region of Alaska, while envisioning future research efforts in the Arctic. The EASE workshop will provide a forum to exchange past research successes and challenges that can guide the advancement of future research and knowledge co-production in Utqiaġvik, across the North Slope, and in the Arctic for the next generation. Broader impacts of the workshop are grounded in a legacy of promoting sustainable Arctic science in Utqiaġvik, as a model for the circumpolar north, being guided by the important role of Iñupiat peoples in furthering scientific understanding of climatic and social-ecological change in the rapidly changing Arctic. The event includes several opportunities for facilitated dialog with business and industry representatives and local government with the aim of aligning future capacity-building investment in science infrastructure with the needs of the science community in collaboration with the local Indigenous community. With the inclusion of tribal, regional and state planners, including Indigenous leaders and students, the workshop will broaden participation from underrepresented groups and diverse institutions in scientific dialog and knowledge sharing to build capacity for further contributions to science and engineering.This is an unprecedented time to study changes occurring in the Arctic. The impacts of melting sea ice, melting ice sheets, thawing permafrost, ecosystem reorganization, and associated human interactions represent complex issues requiring a reflection on the past, a focus on the current state, and a coordinated and collaborative discussion about priorities for future research and capacity-building investments in Arctic science and engineering. The EASE Workshop is a 5-day, single-session workshop focusing on a summary of science and engineering in Utqiaġvik and the greater North Slope region over the last 75 years, an assessment of the current state of the science and engineering, and a prospectus on science and engineering in the Arctic over the next 25 years. Specific topics or themes of the workshop include marine and coastal research, terrestrial and freshwater research, atmospheric research, social science research, co-production of knowledge, convergent research, and education and outreach opportunities. The outcome of the EASE workshop will provide a roadmap that can be used to guide future research endeavors and investments in Arctic science and engineering that span several disciplines and knowledge frameworks that align with the mission and vision of the NSF Office of Polar Programs. The EASE workshop will contribute to six of the NSF’s 10 Big Ideas: Navigating the New Arctic (NNA), Growing Convergence Research, NSF INCLUDES, Harnessing the Data Revolution, Mid-scale Research Infrastructure, and NSF 2026. The workshop will also build on the policy drivers, priority areas, and foundational activities to enhance societal outcomes outlined in the 2022-2026 Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee Arctic Research Plan.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.

北极变革的原因和后果是如此复杂，以至于需要以社区为中心的努力来了解当前对北极社会生态系统的压力。该奖项支持一个多学科，世代间，跨文化和前瞻性会议，召集参与者专注于加强北极科学与工程（Sip），并与阿拉斯加UTQIAġVIK的海军北极研究实验室合作75周年。轻松的研讨会通过将机构，大学，非政府组织，私营部门，地方官员，学生和土著知识持有者汇集在一起​​，以证明在UTQIAġVIK和Alaska大北Slope地区的协作和社区研究的成就，同时在Araska的大型研究中展示了基于协作和社区的研究的成就，同时在未来的研究中进行了设想。轻松的研讨会将提供一个论坛，以交换过去的研究成功和挑战，以指导未来的研究和知识在UTQIAġVIK，整个北坡以及下一代北极的发展。研讨会的更广泛的影响是基于促进UTQIAġVIK的可持续北极科学的遗产，作为北极北极北部的模型，并由Iñupiat人们在快速变化的北极地区进一步科学地了解气候和社会生态变化方面的重要作用。活动包括与商业和行业代表和地方政府的几个支持对话的机会，其目的是使对科学基础设施的未来能力建设投资与科学界与当地土著社区合作的需求保持一致。随着部落，地区和州规划师的包括，包括土著领导人和学生在内，研讨会将扩大代表性不足的团体和潜水机构在科学对话和知识共享中的参与，以建立对科学和工程的进一步贡献的能力。这是对arctic of the Arctic的前所未有的时间的贡献。融化的海冰，融化的冰片，融化多年冻土，生态系统重组和相关的人类互动的影响是需要反思过去的复杂问题，关注当前状态以及对未来研究和能力建设在北极科学和工程学的研究和能力建设投资的优先讨论。轻松研讨会是一个为期5天的单课研讨会，重点介绍了UTQIAġVIK的科学与工程摘要和过去75年来大北坡地区，评估了科学和工程的现状，以及在未来25年中对北极科学和工程的招股说明书。研讨会的特定主题或主题包括海洋和沿海研究，地面和淡水研究，大气研究，社会科学研究，知识的共同生产，融合研究以及教育和外展机会。轻松研讨会的结果将提供一个路线图，可用于指导未来的研究努力和对北极科学和工程学的投资，该研究与NSF Polars计划的任务和愿景保持一致的几个学科和知识框架。轻松研讨会将为NSF的10个主要想法中的六个贡献：浏览新的北极（NNA），越来越多的收敛研究，NSF包括，利用数据革命，中等规模的研究基础设施，NSF 2026和NSF 2026。研讨会也将在政策驱动因素，优先区和基础上建立20222的相互作用，以超过202的范围。政策委员会北极研究计划。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来评估，被认为是珍贵的支持。
