Arctic Research Opportunities: The National Science Foundation (NSF) invites investigators at U.S. organizations to submit proposals to the Arctic Sciences Section, Division of Polar Programs (PLR) to conduct research about the Arctic region. The goal of this solicitation is to attract research proposals that advance a fundamental, process, and systems-level understanding of the Arctic's rapidly changing natural environment and social and cultural systems, and, where appropriate, to improve our capacity to project future change. The Arctic Sciences Section supports research focused on the Arctic region and its connectivity with lower latitudes. The scientific scope is aligned with, but not limited to, research challenges outlined in the Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (<a href="https://www.nsf.gov/geo/plr/arctic/iarpc/start.jsp">https://www.nsf.gov/geo/plr/arctic/iarpc/start.jsp</a>) five-year plans. <span>The Arctic Sciences Section coordinates with programs across NSF and with other federal and international partners to co-review and co-fund Arctic proposals as appropriate. </span>The Arctic Sciences Section also maintains Arctic logistical infrastructure and field support capabilities that are available to enable research.
