OpportunityTitle: Antarctic Research Not Requiring U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP) Field Support
Description: The Antarctic Sciences Section (ANT) of the Office of Polar Programs (OPP) supports cutting-edge research that: Improves understanding of interactions among the Antarctic region and global systems; Expands fundamental knowledge of Antarctic systems, biota, and processes; Utilizes previously collected samples or focuses on non-field-supported themes; Utilizes the unique characteristics of the Antarctic region as a science observing platform; and Builds capacity and enhances diversity in the US workforce for polar-related science. ANT encourages and supports non-fieldworkresearch that crosses and combines disciplinary perspectives and approaches from other fields.ANT encourages and supports research that uses existing data and samples and other research not requiring a presence in Antarctica. Proposals that require USAP support for field work must use solicitation NSF 23-509,Antarctic Research Requiring U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP) Support for Fieldwork. Diversifying and broadening participation is a priority for the Antarctic Sciences Section. ANT encourages the leadership, partnership, and contributions of individuals who are members of groups underrepresented and/or underserved in all opportunities in STEM education programs and careers. ANT promotes and expects that all individuals, including those from groups that are underrepresented and/or underserved in STEM are treated equitably and inclusively throughout the Foundation&#8217;s proposal and award process. The Antarctic Sciences Section coordinates with programs across NSF and with other federal and international partners to co-review and co-fund Antarctic-related proposals as appropriate.
