The U.S. Antarctic Program is offering this grant to support essential scientific research and its necessary operational requirements in Antarctica. This grant is for the core purpose of expanding fundamental knowledge of this critical region, fostering significant research into global and regional problems of current scientific importance, and effectively utilizing Antarctica as a unique and invaluable platform from which to conduct specialized research. The program provides support for fieldwork primarily when a compelling justification exists, demonstrating that the work can only or is best performed within the Antarctic environment. Furthermore, this grant also supports crucial Antarctic-related analytical research carried out at applicants’ home organizations, contributing to a holistic understanding of the continent.

| 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. |
