A workshop will be held 23-24 August 2004 at the National Science
Foundation (NSF) to encourage proposals from investigators who are new
to the U.S. Antarctic Program. Staff of the Foundation's Office of
Polar Programs (OPP), which funds and manages the U.S. Antarctic
Program, will discuss:
- Opportunities for NSF support of antarctic research and education
- NSF's field program for operational support of antarctic research
- Proposal preparation and proposal review criteria
- NSF policies and other funding programs
The workshop will include presentations and opportunities to meet with
NSF antarctic program managers.
Attendance will be limited to researchers who have not been a Principal
Investigator or Co-Principal Investigator on an NSF/OPP antarctic
research grant and who are, or will be, eligible to apply for an NSF
antarctic research grant by the 2 June 2005 proposal deadline for NSF
Antarctic Research. Ph.D. candidates within 1 year of graduation,
postdoctoral fellows, and new faculty are particularly encouraged to
apply.
