The National Science Foundation (NSF) invites investigators at U.S.
organizations to submit proposals to conduct research about the Arctic or
that is best done in the Arctic. Arctic research includes field and
modeling studies and data analysis. Arctic research is supported at NSF by
the Office of Polar Programs (OPP), Arctic Sciences Section,
http://www.nsf.gov/div/index.jsp?div=ARC, in the Office of the Director, as
well as by a number of other programs within the Foundation.

The goal of the NSF Arctic Sciences Section is to gain a better
understanding of the Earth's physical, biological, geological, chemical,
social and cultural processes, and the interactions of ocean, land,
atmosphere, biological, and human systems in the Arctic. The Arctic
Sciences Section and other NSF programs 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.

Proposals may be submitted to the Arctic Opportunities solicitation for
International Polar Year activities, as outlined in the National Academy of
Science vision document at http://www.us-ipy.org, and should be consistent
with the program descriptions and requirements described in the Arctic
Opportunities solicitation.

The Arctic Research Opportunities solicitation provides investigators with
information about available programs and priorities to determine the
program best suited to their proposed work. Please see the full text of the
announcement (NSF 06-603) for more information.
