The NSF Arctic Social Sciences Program is undergoing a re-envisioning process. In response to this opportunity “Arctic Horizons: Social Sciences in the Arctic” is organizing a series of discussion sessions and workshops in 2016 that will bring together a wide range of social scientists and indigenous scholars in an effort to gauge the community’s research priorities for the next 10 to 15 years. We will also solicit input from the wider arctic social science community through a web survey. The outcome of this effort will be a report that includes the community’s recommendations for the future funding priorities in arctic social science research.
