Arctic Research Opportunities
Funds research on the fast-changing Arctic — its environment, its social and cultural systems, and how the region connects to lower latitudes.
NSF's Arctic Sciences Section, inside the Office of Polar Programs, runs the agency's main open call for Arctic research. It asks for work that builds fundamental, process-level or systems-level understanding of a region changing faster than almost anywhere else — the natural environment, and the social and cultural systems inside it — and, where it fits, work that improves the ability to project …
Fundamental, process-level and systems-level research on the Arctic — its rapidly changing natural environment, its social and cultural systems, its connectivity with lower latitudes, and improving the capacity to project future change. Aligned with but not limited to the Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee's five-year plan.
