NSF's Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research, Alaska

Our current 5-year research capacity-building project, "Interface of Change," investigates Gulf of Alaska ecosystems, marine subsistence and mariculture species, and coastal communities. Alaska NSF EPSCoR (National Science Foundation Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research) is a state-federal collaboration to grow Alaska's research capacity and broaden participation in science, technology, engineering and math. Researchers from each of the three main University of Alaska campuses partner with government agencies, non-profits, tribal entities and school districts on five-year research projects. Our current 5-year project is "Interface of Change: Building collaborations to assess harvested and farmed marine species prioritized by Gulf of Alaska communities facing environmental shifts."

🙀"There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;
The Northern Lights have seen q***r sights,
But the q***rest they ever did see..."

🌊Our current project, Interface of Change, covers five major research themes: red seaweeds, mariculture biofouling, bivalves, anadromous fish and community well-being.

👀Look out for communications about our research — sometimes it flies under the radar!

✈️This week, our team hit the road (or, in this case, air) to bring a Mini Science Olympiad to Bethel, Alaska!

📍Our Mini Science Olympiad is a mobile version of our state-wide event that gets fun and friendly STEM competitions into rural Alaskan communities. Those communities get prepped — and excited — to send a team to our Alaska Science Olympiad in April. And we get excited to see familiar faces!

✨Thanks to the community of Bethel for letting us drop by!

🌊The Mendenhall glacier lake outburst flood, or GLOF, is well behind us, but the Alaska EPSCoR streams team is still analyzing data they collected during this year's event.

💧Wyatt Matyas, a PhD student working with UAS Associate Professor and Alaska EPSCoR Co-PI Jason Fellman, was on a team of students collecting samples from the river every four hours for roughly three days and nights around the GLOF.

🥾Since parts of Juneau are shut down or evacuated during this time, getting to the river to sample is trickier than usual.

🪣This year, the team collected stream data by tossing a five-gallon bucket over the edge of a road bridge and hauling water up. Fellman said he’s tried more technologically advanced methods before but, he explained, “we’ve lost a fair bit of equipment over the years.”

✋Sending high-fives to Design Alaska, Inc. and Alaska Sea Grant for sponsoring Alaska Science Olympiad 2027! Your sponsorships make this event possible!

💧We love to see the ripple effects of Alaska Science Olympiad after the event each year -- from watching the winning team compete at the national level to hearing from more communities who want to participate. And, of course, the photos!

⏰Our annual, state-wide middle school STEM tournament will be here before you know it: Saturday, April 3 at UAF.
