      47.050 -- Geosciences

    Description

    Through this solicitation, the Antarctic Sciences Section (ANT) of the Office of Polar Programs (OPP) funds cutting-edge research that:

    • Improves understanding of interactions among the Antarctic region and global systems.
    • Improves understanding of the dynamic linkages among processes operating in the Antarctic and Southern Ocean and linkages to global Earth systems, which helps inform decision making regarding environmental change.
    • Advances fundamental understanding of Earth systems and the biological, geochemical, and physical processes in the Antarctic and Southern Ocean as drivers and responders to changes on a global scale.
    • Expands fundamental knowledge of Antarctic systems, biota, and processes.
    • Utilizes the unique characteristics of the Antarctic region as a science observing platform.
    • Builds capacity and enhances diversity in the US workforce for polar-related science.
    ANT encourages and supports research that combines disciplinary perspectives and approaches from other fields, research that uses existing data and samples, and other research not requiring a physical presence in Antarctica.This may include projects conducted at locations outside Antarctica that serve as analogues of Antarctic sites or systems.
    This solicitation does not support projects that would need logistical support from the U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP).Proposers requiring USAP logistical support should consult theAntarctic Sciences web page for current opportunities. Proposers of projects with logistics needs that would be wholly provided by another Antarctic program or organization should contact an ANT Program Officer for guidance.
