Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) is one of NSF's 10 Big Ideas. NNA projects address convergence scientific challenges in the rapidly changing Arctic. This 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, enhances efforts in formal and informal education, and integrates the co-production of knowledge where appropriate. This award fulfills part of that aim by supporting planning activities with clear potential to develop novel, leading edge research ideas and approaches to address NNA goals. It integrates aspects of the natural environment, built environment, and social systems, addresses important societal challenges, and engages internationally and with local and Indigenous communities.There is increasing recognition of the need to ethically and equitably engage Indigenous Knowledge to address the pressing global challenges facing our planet and society. To support this goal, a collaborative team of Indigenous scholars and scientific researchers will create an innovative engagement process, designed and led by Arctic Indigenous Peoples, to inform the goals of the Fourth International Conference on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP IV). This decadal planning process, first held in 1995 at Dartmouth and culminating in a fourth conference in 2025 in Boulder, will set global research priorities for the Arctic region through 2035.Initial planning activities will bring together Arctic Indigenous Knowledge holders to explore the practical implementation of utilizing Indigenous Knowledge in Arctic research efforts. The goal will be to consider short, medium, and long-term benefits of this approach for Arctic Peoples, science, and broader society and to identify strategic opportunities for implementation. Next, the project will support an Indigenous-led initiative to provide input into the ICARP IV process and the development of a mechanism that allows for ethical engagement of Indigenous Knowledge within Arctic research planning and implementation. The anticipated result is the development of more Indigenous-led strategies for researchers, universities, funders, and partner organizations in the Arctic. The aim is to actively support the stewardship of Indigenous Knowledge, as well as the rights and well-being of Arctic Indigenous peoples and communities. Finally, the project will synthesize lessons learned from leaders in Arctic co-production knowledge research, ongoing efforts and outcomes of co-produced research, and other institutional efforts that aim to be more inclusive of Indigenous Knowledge. It will also develop an evaluation framework to track and assess progress and impact of these efforts, applicable to both national and international Arctic research initiatives.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.

新北极航行（NNA）是NSF的十大创意之一。NNA项目解决快速变化的北极地区的趋同科学挑战。这项北极研究需要为国家、更大地区和地球仪的经济、安全和复原力提供信息。NNA授权从地方到国际规模的新的研究伙伴关系，使下一代北极研究人员多样化，加强正规和非正规教育的努力，并在适当的情况下整合知识的共同生产。该奖项通过支持具有明确潜力的规划活动来实现这一目标的一部分，以开发新颖，前沿的研究思路和方法来实现NNA目标。它整合了自然环境、建筑环境和社会系统的各个方面，解决了重要的社会挑战，并在国际上与当地和土著社区进行了互动。人们越来越认识到，有必要在道德和公平的基础上利用土著知识来解决我们这个星球和社会面临的紧迫的全球挑战。为了支持这一目标，一个由土著学者和科学研究人员组成的合作小组将创建一个由北极土著人民设计和领导的创新参与进程，以通报第四次北极研究规划国际会议（ICARP IV）的目标。这一十年规划过程于1995年在达特茅斯首次举行，并于2025年在博尔德举行第四次会议，将为北极地区制定到2035年的全球研究优先事项。目标是考虑这种方法对北极人民、科学和更广泛社会的短期、中期和长期利益，并确定实施的战略机会。接下来，该项目将支持一项由土著人主导的倡议，为第四届国际北极研究计划进程提供投入，并制定一项机制，使土著知识在北极研究规划和实施中得到道德参与。预期的结果是为北极地区的研究人员、大学、资助者和伙伴组织制定更多由土著人主导的战略。其目的是积极支持土著知识的管理，以及北极土著人民和社区的权利和福祉。最后，该项目将综合北极共同生产知识研究领导者的经验教训，共同生产研究的持续努力和成果，以及旨在更包容土著知识的其他机构努力。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。
