Engaging the Next Generation of Arctic Researchers: UArctic Conference 2019

该奖项支持来自北极土著学者、早期职业科学家和主要来自阿拉斯加的学生的约12名研究人员参加2019年2月在芬兰奥卢举行的UArctic One Arctic - One Health会议。UArctic One Arctic-One Health会议是在北极理事会轮值主席国芬兰主办的。这些新的和代表性不足的研究人员在大会各个方面的参与将促进下一代跨学科和合作研究人员的发展，他们将塑造未来的科学。“同一个健康”一词是兽医专业创造的，目的是确定人与动物健康之间的关系以及环境对人畜共患疾病暴发的影响。目前，世界上70%以上的新发人类疾病是人畜共患疾病，因此这是一个重要的研究、教育和推广领域。随着这一概念的发展，动物、人类和环境福祉的相互依存关系已经扩大，人们认识到，除非所有人都健康，否则它们都不可能真正健康。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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 award supports the participation of approximately 12 researchers drawn from Arctic Indigenous scholars, early career scientists, and students from primarily Alaska to attend the UArctic One Arctic - One Health Conference in Oulu, Finland in February of 2019. The UArctic One Arctic-One Health Conference is hosted in the country that holds the chairmanship of the Arctic Council, which is currently in Finland. The engagement of these new and underrepresented investigators in all aspects of the Congress will facilitate the next generation of interdisciplinary and collaborative researchers who will shape the science of tomorrow.The term 'One Health' was coined by the veterinary profession to identify the relationship between human and animal health and the influence the environment exerts on zoonotic disease outbreaks. Currently, over 70% of the emerging human diseases in the world are of zoonotic origin, making this a critical area of research, education and outreach. As the concept has evolved, the interdependence of animal, human and environmental wellbeing has broadened with the realization that none of these can be truly healthy unless they are all healthy.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.
