Services and support

Award numbers for all awards initiated by the Office of Polar Programs (OPP) contain the prefix "OPP." ("BIR" indicates Biological Instrumentation and Resources/Directorate for Biological Sciences.) However, funding of awards is sometimes shared by two or more antarctic science or support programs within OPP or between OPP antarctic and arctic science or support programs. For these awards, a listing is included under the heading for each OPP program that funded the project. The first amount represents the funds provided by that individual program, and the second amount, in parentheses, is the total award amount. All of these contain the OPP prefix. Additionally, investigators may receive funds for antarctic research from other divisions or offices of the National Science Foundation, as well as from OPP. When awards are initiated by another NSF division, the three-letter prefix for that program is included in the award number. As with awards split between OPP programs, antarctic program funds are listed first, and the total amount is listed in parentheses.

Awards designated "(1)" were made between 1 September 1995 and 30 November 1995; awards designated "(2)" were made between 1 December 1995 and 28 February 1996; awards designated "(3)" were made between 1 March and 31 May 1996; and awards designated "(4)" were made between 1 June and 31 August 1996.
