This grant from the National Science Foundation’s Arctic Sciences Section is for investigators at U.S. organizations seeking to conduct vital research about the Arctic region. Its purpose is to advance a fundamental, process, or systems-level understanding of the Arctic’s rapidly changing natural environment and its social and cultural systems. Researchers are encouraged to submit proposals that also aim to improve the capacity to project future change and explore the Arctic’s connectivity with lower latitudes. The Arctic Sciences Section actively supports a broad scientific scope, coordinates with other NSF programs and federal/international partners for co-funding, and provides essential Arctic logistical infrastructure and field support to facilitate comprehensive research initiatives.

Additional Information
| Agency Name: | U.S. National Science Foundation |
| Description: | The National Science Foundation (NSF) invites investigators at U.S. organizations to submit proposals to the Arctic Sciences Section, Office of Polar Programs (OPP), to conduct research about the Arctic region.
The goal of this solicitation is to attract research proposals that advance a fundamental, process, and/or systems-level understanding of the Arctic’s rapidly changing natural environment, social and cultural systems, and, where appropriate, to improve our capacity to project future change. The Arctic Sciences Section supports research focused on the Arctic region and its connectivity with lower latitudes. The scientific scope is aligned with, but not limited to, research priorities outlined in the Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) five-year plan. The Arctic Sciences Section coordinates with programs across NSF and with other federal and international partners to co-review and co-fund Arctic-related proposals as appropriate. The Arctic Sciences Section also maintains Arctic logistical infrastructure and field support capabilities that are available to enable research. |
