The Alaska SeaLife Center is searching for an evaluator with expertise in learning program evaluation, ideally informal learning evaluation, and prior experience working with Alaska Native communities in the Kenai Peninsula. Dr. John Fraser, the new Director of Mission Impact for the Alaska SeaLife Center, is submitting a 4-year NSF grant proposal for a two-part study of the quality of forage fish that are the basis of the food web for our subsistence and recreational fishing, and specifically how the general public, recreational fishers, and Alaska Native communities are learning and acting on what’s changing in our food supply. 

Dr. John Fraser is in the midst of a grant proposal that’s due in the second week of January, but the project wouldn’t start until Fall 2024. The Alaska SeaLife Center’s critical priority for this search/call is to find an evaluation firm who is the right fit for the project and to meet and discuss the NSF project proposal and next steps to submit by the deadline. The estimated evaluation budget for the proposal is about $200K over four years. If you’re interested, Dr. John Fraser can be contacted for more details.
