This virtual workshop is a collaboration between the Arctic Data Center, ELOKA, and the NNA Community Office, and will focus on the presentation of open science principles and best practices. Open science will be explored from the lens of reproducibility of research, Indigenous data sovereignty, and community data management. The first half of this four hour session will focus on FAIR Principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reproducible), ethical data practices, and community data management.
As a key part of NNA Community Office (NNA-CO) funded activities, the NNA-CO will facilitate the formation, implementation, and outputs of four Convergence Working Groups. The NNA-CO has established an initial set of Convergence Working Group functions and goals, but many design elements of the Convergence Working Group (CWG) process are intentionally not yet fully defined to allow for community input. The thematic or topical focuses of the CWGs have also not yet been identified to allow for co-design of the working groups across the NNA project community.

Do you want an opportunity to connect your NNA project to Alaskan educators? Join the NNA-CO for the virtual Arctic Educators Fair on February 16, 2022. This year's fair will focus on Alaska, with outreach fairs with an international focus planned for future years.
Are you interested in connecting your NNA project to communities in Alaska? Join the NNA-CO for the upcoming NNA virtual Arctic Outreach Fair that will take place as part of the Alaska Forum on the Environment.
The NNA-CO, together with the ARC-NAV project, is hosting a virtual open meet-up to discuss interests and ideas for a possible future network of community research liaisons. Such a network could facilitate greater community-driven research with liaisons in leadership roles, create new opportunities for comparative work, and expand shared research infrastructure. The network could provide opportunities for greater coordination and training for liaisons and community members interested in taking on these roles in the future.
The changing polar environments have created important scientific and societal concerns in high and lower latitudes. In this session we will share effective approaches, frameworks and examples of how to promote a broad understanding and awareness of the changing Arctic and the related societal implications. The session will highlight effective strategies to inspire learners in both formal and informal learning contexts as well as communities.
As climate change warms the Arctic more than twice as fast as the rest of the planet, communities across the region face new and abundant challenges, including coastal erosion, food security, increasing shipping traffic and more. The National Science Foundation’s Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) initiative aims to improve understanding of Arctic change and to advance actionable knowledge through convergence research—collaborative research that draws on information and expertise from across disciplines and knowledge systems, including Indigenous Knowledge, to solve complex challenges.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) invites you to a Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) proposal writing workshop on December 9, 2021. This two-hour workshop will be held from 2:00pm-4:00pm Eastern Time / 12:00pm-2:00pm Mountain Time / 10:00am-12:00pm Alaska Time. The first hour will consist of an overview of the NSF review process and Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts criteria, as well as share most common mistakes made by investigators when submitting a proposal. The second hour will be structured around breakout rooms with NSF program officers.
