Alaska EPSCoR offers periodic funding opportunities for faculty, staff, or students at an Alaska institution of higher education who are participants or partners of the Interface of Change project, or whose work is closely aligned with the Interface of Change mission and vision. Under the current Alaska EPSCoR project, Interface of Change, our goal is to fund at least 3 travel awards per year, depending on available funds.  We will prioritize awarding student and early-career professional applicants.
