The Arctic Research Consortium of the US (ARCUS), is accepting applications for three Arctic Indigenous Scholars to travel to Washington, D.C. in February 2024 for an opportunity to meet with officials at U.S. government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and other groups working on Arctic issues.
For this opportunity, ARCUS defines a scholar as an expert within their own knowledge system. This includes hunters, fishers, and gatherers; those that process and store food; health aides; and others. It includes youth, elders, and adults. A scholar’s education may have come from the land, the water, or a classroom.
Travel expenses and per diem will be provided. While the selected scholars are in D.C., ARCUS will arrange meetings with officials at relevant agencies and organizations, where scholars will be able to share their interests, learn of available resources, build toward collaborative relationships, and provide on-the-ground perspectives to key decision-makers.
This program is supported by the National Science Foundation's Division of Arctic Sciences.
