Public comments sought on revised Principles for the Conduct of Research in the Arctic
July 13, 2018
The Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee, chaired by the NSF director, is seeking public comments on the newly revised Principles for the Conduct of Research in the #Arctic 2018.
The draft revision may be reviewed here: https://www.iarpccollaborations.org/uploads/cms/documents/draft_principles_for_frn_review_july_2018.pdf
The revised core principles are:
- Be Accountable
- Establish Effective Two-way Communication
- Respect Local Culture and Knowledge
- Build and Sustain Relationships
- Pursue Responsible Environmental Stewardship
Comments may be submitted to: iarpcprinciples@nsf.gov
Renee Crain, OPP’s Arctic research support and logistics manager, co-chairs the working group on the revision with Roberto Delgado at the National Institutes of Health.
The original principles, released in 1990, have been revised to provide guidelines for the conduct of research, to better align with U.S. Arctic policy, to incorporate the latest advances in research methods, and to reflect expanded research efforts and disciplinary breadth in a rapidly changing Arctic.

The U.S. National Science Foundation propels the nation forward by advancing fundamental research in all fields of science and engineering. NSF supports research and people by providing facilities, instruments and funding to support their ingenuity and sustain the U.S. as a global leader in research and innovation. With a fiscal year 2023 budget of $9.5 billion, NSF funds reach all 50 states through grants to nearly 2,000 colleges, universities and institutions. Each year, NSF receives more than 40,000 competitive proposals and makes about 11,000 new awards. Those awards include support for cooperative research with industry, Arctic and Antarctic research and operations, and U.S. participation in international scientific efforts.
