The Fulbright Program's Arctic Initiative gathers seventeen outstanding scholars from Arctic Council nations as they engaging in collaborative, multi-disciplinary research through the U.S. Department of State. With the aim of advancing Arctic nations’ shared interest in building a secure and sustainable Arctic, researchers explore topics in the thematic areas of Arctic Security and Cooperation, Arctic Infrastructure in a Changing Environment, and Community Dimensions of Health.

Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, this initiative supports interdisciplinary research for scholars from Arctic Council member countries. The Arctic Council is an intergovernmental forum that includes Canada, the Kingdom of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, Sweden, and the United States. The governments of Canada, Iceland, and the Kingdom of Denmark have provided additional funding for the third cohort of Fulbright Arctic Scholars.

Dr. Greg Poelzer, a Professor in the School of Environment and Sustainability (SENS) at the University of Saskatchewan, and Dr. Elizabeth Rink, Professor of Community Health in the Department of Health and Human Development at Montana State University, will serve as the Co-Lead Scholars of the Initiative. Both Dr. Poelzer and Dr. Rink are alumni of the program. This diverse group of seventeen scholar participants will explore public policy research questions and offer innovative solutions to a variety of disciplines.
