OpportunityTitle: IRA - Indigenous Engagement Program (IEP)
Description: The mission of the Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC) Indigenous Engagement Program (IEP) is to facilitate collaboration with Indigenous Knowledge holders to develop bi-directional and parallel knowledge pathways to support climate-informed fisheries and ecosystem policies regionally and internationally. In addition, the IEP may support consortia that bring together Alaska Native community members to promote environmental monitoring and knowledge sharing workshops. For Fiscal Year 2024, NMFS anticipates that approximately $500,000 could be made available for projects that address Indigenous engagement as identified in the Program Priority Section (I.B.1 - I.B.3). An additional $250,000 in each of FY2025 and FY2026 could be made available as well for multiple year projects.
