ɫ���� EPSCoR is hosting three annual Interface of Chance project community workshops in April in Klukwan, Haines, and Seldovia for residents to learn and engage with local, community-driven research. Workshops will have dinner, door prizes, and dialogue around observations of change in coastal environments, harvest, communities, and local economies around the Gulf of ɫ����.

The ɫ���� NSF Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) Interface of Change project is soliciting proposals for seed grants from researchers, students, and project partners to carry out new and innovative research projects that support Interface of Change goals. Seed award projects should address themes relevant to the EPSCoR “Interface of Change” project.

This month, the Interface of Change project was invited to participate in the first Cordova Science Gathering. The Cordova Science Gathering is a local event organized by the Native Village of Eyak, Prince William Sound Science Center, Chugach Regional Resources Commission, and other regional partners. The event offers an opportunity for Cordovans of all-ages to gain a deeper understanding of the research and monitoring efforts happening in the area and features local artists and performers. Presenters were encouraged to take a community-centered approach to foster dialogue between researchers and residents to co-create knowledge. Tommy Sheridan, Cathy Renfeldt, Matt Piché, Krysta Williams, and Erik Schoen gave updates on the Interface of Change project as one of the Cordova Science Gathering workshops.
