Objective
The main aim of the call is to support research collaboration among participating countries in the Arctic region to bring forward new knowledge on how to ensure the sustainable development of the Arctic. Through interdisciplinary research projects that include Indigenous perspectives, this call will leverage expertise across Arctic countries to explore approaches to sustainable development in the Arctic, considering aspects such as security, natural resources and societal changes.
Eligibility
- A minimum of three Nordic countries must be represented on the research team. To be eligible to receive funding from NFRF, the research team must also include at least one member who is eligible to apply to NFRF.
- The Nominated Principal Investigator must be an independent researcher. Postdoctoral Fellows, research associates or students are not eligible to apply as NPIs, Co-PIs or co-applicants.
- The Canada-based research team may include individuals who are not eligible to apply directly to NFRF as co-PIs and/or co-applicants.
- NFRF will only fund Indigenous co-developed co-led projects. All projects are required to partner with a participating community or communities in the co-creation, implementation and ownership of the research and outcomes, and to develop approaches related to knowledge mobilization and community uptake. To reflect this, the Canada-based team must have a minimum of two co-PIs, including the NPI and a co-PI who is a representative of the community or region where the research will take place and/or the community that has requested and will benefit from the research findings.
- Teams are encouraged to meaningfully engage Early Career Researchers.
- A researcher may only serve as project leader for one pre-proposal under this call. However, research organisations may be affiliated with more than one pre-proposal.
