Dear Colleague Letter: Supporting Workshops to Develop a Strategy for the NSF AON
February 6, 2023
A new NSF Dear Colleague Letter: Supporting Workshops to Develop a Strategy for the NSF Arctic Observing Network (AON) Program, (NSF DCL 23-052) has been posted inviting proposals for workshops to identify key science drivers as well as critical infrastructure and technology needs to strengthen the NSF AON Program. Such workshops are typically identified as conferences in the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG).
The Nation's ability to detect and understand atmospheric, marine, societal, and terrestrial changes, and their implications for the rest of the planet, is limited by data gaps and insufficient observations across the Arctic. Hence, a high-level, strategic planning initiative needs to be mounted to assist NSF’s AON Program in identifying and prioritizing the key components for maintaining and strengthening a sustainable Arctic observing network.

For questions and more information, or to discuss ideas for conference goals and proposals, please contact Dr. Roberto Delgado (robdelga@nsf.gov) and Dr. Olivia Lee (olee@nsf.gov).
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.
