The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is seeking suggestions for experts to be considered for the membership rotation or other engagement with the Polar Research Board (PRB).
The PRB serves as a focal point for providing scientific advice on issues related to the Arctic, Antarctic, and cold regions in general. The PRB strives to make research in the polar regions more productive and responsive to the needs of the United States, maintain U.S. awareness of and representation in international science programs, and enhance understanding of issues in polar regions. PRB Members serve an essential role in advising Board activities, developing new project areas, and engaging with federal and other stakeholders in support of polar science research and addressing societal needs.
Members typically serve 3-year terms with an option to reappoint after the first term. Nominations are sought to add members to the board in Fall 2023.
The deadline to submit nominations is 11 August 2023.
