What it funds

Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.

Scientific research and operational support of that research are the principal activities supported by the United States Government in Antarctica. The goals are to expand fundamental knowledge of the region, to foster research on global and regional problems of current scientific importance, and to use Antarctica as a platform from which to support research.?? The U.S. Antarctic Program provides support for field work only when a compelling justification exists for doing the work in Antarctica (i.e., the work can only be done, or is best done, in Antarctica).?? The program also supports Antarctic-related analytical research performed at home organizations.NSF was the designated lead agency for the International Polar Year, 2007-2009, for the United States and??has made a number of awards in response to IPY solicitations (see list of awards at http://www.nsf.gov/od/opp/ipy/ipy_awards_list.jsp). Proposals that make use of IPY datasets or that otherwise build on IPY investments are welcome in the regular programs.?? For information concerning other Federal agencies and their IPY programs, please go to the U.S. government interagency IPY site at http://www.ipy.gov/.
