Land Use Permits

The University of Alaska Fairbanks recognizes the rights of all landowners to control access to their own property; therefore, it is essential that university personnel obtain landowner permission prior to accessing any non-university lands. Obtaining this permission is the responsibility of the principal investigator or program leader. All land use agreements should be routed through the UA Land Management Office for institutional review and signature.

The UAF Offices of Research Integrity and Office of Grants and Contracts Administration strongly recommend that landowner permission be obtained prior to proposal submission for externally funded research projects to avoid delays should the proposal be awarded.

Permission to access the property should be obtained in writing and carried by the person(s) accessing the property whenever possible.

It is the principal investigator's responsibility to determine who owns the land and to get the landowner's permission to access the property.  In Alaska, contact the Lands Office for the borough where the property is located for assistance in determining property ownership. The Lands Office can usually provide contact information for the owner.

If you have information on land use authorization procedures or landowner contact information that is not included here, but may be of use to other researchers please forward it to the Office of Research Integrity.
