Conference: Beyond COVID: Pandemic Preparedness in the Circumpolar North

本次研讨会将来自美国各地的多个COVID-19研究团队带到阿拉斯加，分享发现，综合结果，并加强未来流行病的规划和信息传递工作。研讨会将提供机会，比较数据收集和分析方法，发展新的合作，并提出研究成果。通过共同努力，研讨会的参与者将综合跨学科的研究，解决阿拉斯加社区在文化，经济，基础设施和地理方面存在巨大差异的流行病应对措施。讲习班将通过扩大所资助项目的成果，增进对大流行病应对措施的了解，加强阿拉斯加的研究能力，并促进对社会挑战采取一致的办法，讲习班的产出包括在一份国际期刊上发表一份同行审查的出版物，其中综合了各研究小组合作制定的办法、研究结果和建议;一系列公众宣传活动，并为参与者提供科学传播培训。这些活动将在全州范围内形成一个跨学科的研究人员网络，为研究界和公众提供可访问的科学，并提高北极研究对社区健康和福祉的可见度。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。

This workshop brings multiple COVID-19 research teams from across the U.S. to Alaska to share findings, synthesize results, and enhance planning and messaging efforts for future pandemics. The workshop will provide opportunities to compare data collection and analytic methods, develop new collaborations, and present research findings. Working together, workshop participants will synthesize research across disciplinary lines, addressing pandemic responses in Alaska communities with vast differences in culture, economics, infrastructure, and geography. By amplifying the results of funded projects, the workshop will advance understanding of pandemic responses, strengthen research capacity in Alaska, and foster convergent approaches to societal challenges.Outputs of the workshop include a peer-reviewed publication in an international journal that synthesizes the approaches, findings, and recommendations developed collaboratively by the research teams; a series of public outreach activities, and science communication training for participants. Together, these activities will generate an interdisciplinary network of researchers across the state, deliver accessible science to the research community and the general public, and elevate the visibility of Arctic research on community health and well-being.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.
