This funding supports cutting-edge Antarctic and Southern Ocean research that improves understanding of their interactions with global Earth systems. Projects may use existing data, samples, or analog sites outside Antarctica and must not require U.S. Antarctic Program logistical support. The program also aims to build capacity and enhance the polar science workforce.
Open to researchers not requiring U.S. Antarctic Program logistical support. Projects needing such support should consult other opportunities or contact program officers for guidance.
