SYNOPSIS
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 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.
The U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP) supports scientific research in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean with logistics provided by OPP’s Antarctic Infrastructure and Logistics Section (AIL). Antarctic fieldwork is supported only for research that must be performed, or is best performed, in Antarctica. Proposals that do not require USAP support for field work can be submitted anytime using solicitation NSF 23-508, Antarctic Research Not 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’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.
