The Arctic Visiting Speakers Series (AVS), managed by the Arctic
Research Consortium of the United States (ARCUS) with funding from the
National Science Foundation Division of Arctic Sciences, is accepting
travel grant applications for arctic experts to share their knowledge in
communities where they might not otherwise connect. Visiting speakers
can include scientists and researchers, indigenous peoples, or any other
person with expertise relevant to the Arctic.
Travel grants for speakers include funding for transportation, lodging,
and per diem. The funding limit is $1500.00 for domestic tours and
$2100.00 for international tours. Applications must be submitted at
least one month prior to the expected event dates. Limited grants are
available and will be awarded on a case-by-case basis throughout the
rest of 2009. Speakers can cover a wide range of arctic topics and
address a variety of audiences, including K-12 students, graduate and
undergraduate students, and the public.
