Public Outreach
Many of Alaska EPSCoR's outreach efforts reach beyond the confines of the UA and connect with the wider community. These include:
Alaska TREND. Alaska EPSCoR partners with the Technology Research and Development Center of Alaska (TREND) at the University of Alaska Anchorage to provide small grants to Alaskan startup businesses seeking ot secure larger federal funding.
Newsletters. Alaska EPSCOR publishes newsletters at least once a year to update stakeholders on reearch and outreach efforts. To subscribe to the print version email tmoran3@alaska.edu.
Regional Outreach Workshops. Each test case will hold an annual on-site workshop that will bring together faculty, students, stakeholders, and community members to interact and share results.
Grant-Writing Workshops. EPSCOR will hold three free proposal-writing workshops in conjunction with its annual All-Hands Meetings, following the format of a pair of highly successful workshops conducted by the Alaska Funding Exchange in 2011 and 2012.
Other efforts. In addition to the newsletter, EPSCoR continually updates this website and engages in several forms of social media, including Facebook and Twitter. Alaska EPSCoR will also produce a series of audio and video spots highlighting Phase III research, to be posted on the organization's YouTube channel and through a variety of other venues. Alaska EPSCoR also provides financial support to organizations seeking to bring science-related speakers to Alaska.
