This poster describes a new entity known as the Bering Strait Research Consortium (BSRC). This consortium is designed to serve as a central forum for communication of cultural and scientific research activities to the public, data exchange, research synthesis, and research support information. Individuals or institutions with an interest in the Beringia region are encouraged to participate in BSRC. Interest in a consortium has grown out of the needs of researchers to coordinate their efforts and help communicate them to the general public and the larger research community. Coordination for the BSRC was partially enabled by the University of Alaska Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) program, which has research integration and outreach at the core of its mission. Preliminary organization and goals of BSRC are discussed, as well as highlights of research and outreach from this past year.
