About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation seeks applicants at U.S. organizations to submit research proposals to the Arctic Sciences Section in the Office of Polar Programs by January 15, 2027, addressing fundamental, process, and systems-level understanding of the Arctic's rapidly changing natural environment and social and cultural systems, including research on Arctic connectivity with lower latitudes and capacity to project future change.
Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education (two- and four-year accredited institutions with U.S. campuses), tribal nations (federally recognized), for-profit organizations (U.S.-based, with strong scientific or engineering research capabilities), non-profit non-academic organizations (independent museums, observatories, research laboratories, professional societies directly associated with educational or research activities), other federal agencies and FFRDCs (subject to PAPPG Chapter I.E.2 limitations), and foreign organizations (for cooperative projects involving U.S. and foreign organizations, support limited to the U.S. portion). Proposals including funding to international branch campuses of U.S. institutions of higher education must justify why activities cannot be performed at the U.S. campus and explain project benefits of international performance.
Research priorities align with, but are not limited to, the Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee five-year plan. The Arctic Sciences Section coordinates co-review and co-funding with programs across NSF and other federal and international partners, and maintains Arctic logistical infrastructure and field support capabilities available to enable research. The solicitation falls under CFDA 47.050 (Geosciences) and CFDA 47.075 (Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences). Applications must be submitted through Grants.gov in PDF format following NSF requirements specified in the Grants.gov Application Guide (NSF 24-006). Applicants should submit at least five business days before the deadline to allow for validation processing in Research.gov.
