The Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) is seeking comment from the public on the newly revised Principles for Conducting Research in the Arctic. IARPC is interested in all comments on the Principles document, including the core principles and sub-bullets describing the approaches that researchers are encouraged to adopt across all stages of research.
The Principles are directed at federally-funded researchers, though they may be useful to academic, state, local, and tribal researchers in the Arctic.
The IARPC Principles Revision Working Group revised the existing Principles for the Conduct of Research in the Arctic, adopted on 28 June 1990. The 1990 version has now been updated and renamed Principles for Conducting Research in the Arctic to reflect current research disciplines and approaches in the Arctic.
