Alaska EPSCoR is now accepting applications for Interface of Change seed awards to fund research and student research projects.

The deadline to apply is 5 p.m. AKDT on May 8, 2026.

Interface of Change seed awards provide funding opportunities to projects that supplement the overarching goals of the Interface of Change project or develop new research directions that respond to community needs in the Gulf of Alaska.

We are soliciting proposals for seed grants from University of Alaska researchers and students, as well as non-ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°å affiliated research collaborators and adjacent organizations 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.
 
Seed award solicitation information can be found at the Alaska EPSCoR Seed Funding page. Contact Tara Borland with application questions.
