The NSF Office of Polar Programs, Arctic Sciences Section has recently updated the solicitation for Arctic Research Opportunities. 

The goal of this solicitation is to attract research proposals that advance a fundamental, process, and/or systems-level understanding of the Arctic's rapidly changing natural environment, and social and cultural systems, and, where appropriate, to improve our capacity to project future change. 

The Arctic Sciences Section supports research focused on the Arctic region and its connectivity with lower latitudes. The scientific scope is aligned with, but not limited to, research priorities outlined in the Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) five-year plan.
