Alaska grants for Exclusive - see details

This funding opportunity supports journalists in Alaska working on in-depth projects that address underreported issues or enhance arts and culture coverage in the state.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for managing invasive aquatic plants and restoring natural habitats at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska, targeting eligible state and local governments, tribes, and non-profit organizations.

This funding opportunity is designed for research organizations and academic institutions to study the effects of climate change on the Porcupine caribou herd, benefiting Indigenous communities and informing land-use planning through predictive modeling and analysis.

This grant provides funding to organizations that aim to improve services and support for older adults in American Indian, Alaskan Native, and Native Hawaiian communities by conducting research, gathering information, and offering training and technical assistance.

The U.S. Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to assist in developing datasets for predictive relationships between florescence of dissolved organic matter (FDOM) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in freshwater types of SE Alaska. Surface water from large rivers is currently being collected and characterized, but from a limited variety of water types. Assistance in developing continuous monitoring surrogates and documenting the relationship between surrogates and measured water quality parameters, such as FDOM and dissolved carbon and organic matter, is sought. These studies will augment and inform current USGS efforts at characterizing dissolved carbon in glacially dominated large rivers and help evaluate USGS standard methods to new water types. It will also foster a collective understanding of the DOC concentrations and characteristics of SE Alaska streams and inform their sensitivity to pollutants.

The purpose of this program is to increase representation of American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people in science, technology, engineering, and mathematic (STEM) fields by increasing visibility and awareness of lesser-known STEM applied public health occupational and student opportunities as well as the benefits of these opportunities. Sanitation and engineering fields are often overlooked as applied public health STEM fields even though their work is the foundation of public health through providing and maintaining sanitary facilities and environments for homes and health care facilities. For example, the primary STEM occupational opportunities within the OEHE include civil and environmental (sanitation) engineering, general (health facility) engineering, and environmental health (sanitarian) professions (herein after collectively referred to as sanitation and engineering).The American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) is identified as a single (sole) source for this cooperative agreement. The AISES is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity and leader in STEM opportunity in Indian Country with both a membership base and Board of Directors that is 100 percent American Indian. Its current membership is over 7,000 individual student and professional members, 248 pre-college chapters, 199 college chapters, 20 professional chapters, and 3 Tribal chapters.

The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in co-production of knowledge about Pacific salmon populations and habitats in the Koyukuk, Nowitna Innoko National Wildlife Refuges and Gana-AYoo managed freshwaters.

The objectives of this project fall under INRMP Goal 2: Manage JBER natural resources under the guidelines and principles of adaptive ecosystem management, which aim to maintain functional ecosystems and natural diversity including sustainable populations, native species, and ecological communities and Objective 2.1: Inventory and monitor JBERs natural resources, including soil, water, wetlands, flora, and fauna, to provide baseline information on ecosystem integrity and health, status of renewable resources, and status of threatened or sensitive species or communities.
