This grant is for the purpose of supporting crucial scientific research and the operational assistance necessary for conducting it within Antarctica. The U.S. Antarctic Program’s primary goals are to significantly expand fundamental knowledge about the Antarctic region, encourage research into pressing global and regional scientific problems, and effectively utilize Antarctica as an unparalleled platform to facilitate cutting-edge scientific investigations. Funding is provided for fieldwork only when there is a compelling justification demonstrating that the work must be, or is optimally, performed in Antarctica. The program also broadly supports Antarctic-related analytical research conducted by researchers at their respective home organizations, allowing for comprehensive study.

| Description: | Scientific research and operational support of that research are the principal activities supported by the United States Government in Antarctica. The goals are to expand fundamental knowledge of the region, to foster research on global and regional problems of current scientific importance, and to use Antarctica as a platform from which to support research. The U.S. Antarctic Program provides support for fieldwork only when a compelling justification exists for doing the work in Antarctica (i.e., the work can only be done or is best done, in Antarctica). The program also supports Antarctic-related analytical research performed at home organizations. |
