This planning award supports the development of a sustainable, collaborative, and participatory research program focused on urban Indigenous food systems in Alaska. As rural residents have migrated to urban centers, such as Anchorage, reliance on traditional foods has changed and food insecurity has increased. This work will lay the foundation for the first study of how migration affects urban Indigenous food security at the household and community levels in Alaska. The project is structured in three phases and involves development of partnerships with tribal organizations, local leaders, and scholars to identify priorities for urban food security research. Planned meetings will focus on assessing the role of and access to traditional foods in urban settings; how rural-to-urban migration affects food security; and how research can support urban food security. Over the two-year duration of the project, the PI team will network with local leaders, food organizations, and scholars working on Indigenous food security and food sovereignty in Anchorage. Through a series of in-person and virtual meetings, network participants will use a participatory and collaborative approach to identify research and outreach priorities. These priorities will form the foundation of a future NSF proposal addressing how access, availability and use of traditional foods affects food security. Broader impacts include development of a multidisciplinary network of food security researchers and practitioners with Indigenous representation; a review article that addresses urban Indigenous food security; and experiential learning by two undergraduate researchers.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.

该计划奖支持了一项针对阿拉斯加城市土著食品系统的可持续，协作和参与研究计划的开发。随着农村居民迁移到锚地等城市中心，对传统食品的依赖发生了变化，粮食不安全感也有所增加。这项工作将为第一次研究移民如何影响阿拉斯加家庭和社区层面的城市土著粮食安全奠定基础。该项目分为三个阶段，涉及与部落组织，当地领导者和学者建立合作伙伴关系，以确定城市粮食安全研究的优先事项。计划的会议将集中于评估城市环境中传统食品的作用和获取的作用；农村到城市的迁移如何影响粮食安全；研究如何支持城市粮食安全。在该项目的两年持续时间内，PI团队将与当地领导人，食品组织和学者建立联系，从事安克雷奇的土著粮食安全和食品主权。通过一系列面对面和虚拟会议，网络参与者将使用参与式和协作的方法来识别研究和推广优先事项。这些优先事项将构成未来的NSF提案的基础，以解决传统食品的获取，可用性和使用如何影响粮食安全。更广泛的影响包括开发具有土著代表的粮食安全研究人员和从业者的多学科网络；涉及城市土著粮食安全的评论文章；这项奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准通过评估来支持的，这一奖项反映了NSF的法定任务。
