The National Science Foundation (NSF) invites investigators at U.S.
organizations to submit proposals to conduct research about the Arctic.
Arctic research includes field and modeling studies and data analysis in
and about the arctic region. The goal of the NSF Division of Arctic
Sciences (http://www.nsf.gov/div/index.jsp?org=ARC) is to gain a better
understanding of the Arctic's physical, biological, geological,
chemical, social, and cultural processes and the interactions of ocean,
land, atmosphere, biological, and human systems in the Arctic, and to
support projects that contribute to the development of the next
generation of researchers and scientific literacy for all ages through
education, outreach, and broadening participation in science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics.
The Arctic Research Opportunities solicitation (NSF 10-503) provides
investigators with information about available programs and priorities
to determine the program best suited to their proposed work. The
Proposal Preparation section (Section V.A.) has specific instructions
for proposers conducting field work, including information about
requesting logistics support or ship time, working with arctic
communities, and complying with environmental policies that should be
adhered to by all proposers.
Proposals should be written and planned in accordance with:
NSF's Grant Proposal Guide
(http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=gpg) and;the Principles for Conduct of Research in the Arctic
(http://www.nsf.gov/od/opp/arctic/conduct.jsp).
