Researchers planning to include a support letter and estimate for
logistics support from CH2M HILL Polar Services (CPS) in their proposals
under the current National Science Foundation (NSF) Arctic Research
Opportunities solicitation are asked to contact CPS by Wednesday, 20
October 2010, to request these documents.

As described in the section entitled 'Field Work' (under 'Proposal
Preparation'), NSF will consider the full cost of supporting a project,
including logistics, prior to making recommendations. To access the
solicitation, search for document number 'NSF 10-597' at:
http://www.nsf.gov/publications/ods/.

Depending on the complexity of the proposed fieldwork, it generally
takes between three and six weeks to develop an estimate. Due to the
high volume of requests, CPS will be unable to fulfill proposal estimate
requests received after Wednesday, 20 October 2010.

Please note the deadline for proposals to the Arctic Research
Opportunities solicitation is Wednesday, 10 November 2010.

Researchers should submit field plans and support requirements to CPS
Science Planning Manager Diana Garcia-Lavigne at: diana [at] polarfield.com.

As the logistics contractor for NSF, CPS annually provides
transportation, communications, infrastructure, and field camp support
to over 150 projects throughout the Arctic and near-Arctic.

Deadline: Wednesday, 20 October 2010
