Appropriations Priorities
The University of Alaska (UA) system is committed to excellence in education, research, and public service. In delivering on that three-part mission, the Board of Regents is focused on increasing educational attainment, advancing economic development, providing a highly skilled workforce, growing our world-class research, and doing all of it in a more cost-effective manner.
The UA system submits appropriations requests (a.k.a. earmarks, plus-ups, and programmatic requests) to Alaska's Members of Congress in an effort to secure federal funds to support our three-part mission. In addition, our appropriations requests focus on the priorities of Alaska's Members of Congress that participate in the process (not all Alaska Members seek earmarks).
All information about the current process, current and prior priorities, status of latest requests, and related information can be found on the in the associated with the applicable federal fiscal year.
