The Arctic is a region of significant strategic, economic, and ecological importance to the nation. Arctic research projects and researchers span a wide variety of topics, from different disciplines, institutions, and perspectives, to understand the Arctic system and its connections to the rest of the world. The overarching goals of the project are to nurture and sustain collaborations across the diverse disciplines, sectors, and perspectives to support transformative scientific advances; to broaden and diversify participation in the Arctic research enterprise; to strengthen two-way communications among a variety of stakeholders; and to improve outreach to the interested public. Project activities will focus on five key areas: 1) Research community support, which will include: fostering Arctic research initiatives through virtual tools, providing support for emerging research teams, tracking success from project activities, and targeted support for early-career researchers; 2) Networking activities, including network analysis to evaluate how different segments of the Arctic research community are participating in collaborative activities, and in-person events to bring together members of the Arctic research community to work towards common goals; 3) Collaboration with Indigenous communities and knowledge systems, including integration of Indigenous knowledge with weather and ice predictions, connecting Arctic Indigenous leaders with other decision-makers, and other support for Indigenous scholars at all career levels; 4) Communications and outreach webinars, newsletters, a virtual Arctic citizen science conference, mailing lists, and website resources; and 5) Support of the Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC), a U.S. interagency body that consists of agencies, departments, and offices across the Federal government who meet regularly to coordinate federally-funded research in the Arctic. The project's networking, research community support, and IARPC support tasks will result in researchers and funders coming together to explore new and creative ways to collaborate in Arctic research. The project's communication activities will disseminate Arctic research to a broad audience to highlight its relevance to society, and result in stronger ties between the research community, citizen scientists, and other stakeholders. The collaboration activities with Arctic Indigenous knowledge holders will enhance diversity in research collaborations, thereby improving knowledge of the Arctic.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

北极是对国家的重要战略，经济和生态重要性的地区。北极研究项目和研究人员涵盖了各种各样的主题，从不同的学科，机构和观点，以了解北极系统及其与世界其他地区的联系。该项目的总体目标是培育和维持各种学科，部门和观点的合作，以支持变革性的科学进步；扩大和多元化参与北极研究企业；加强各种利益相关者之间的双向通信；并改善与感兴趣的公众的宣传。项目活动将重点关注五个关键领域：1）研究社区支持，其中包括：通过虚拟工具促进北极研究计划，为新兴研究团队提供支持，跟踪项目活动的成功以及对早期职业研究人员的有针对性的支持； 2）网络活动，包括网络分析，以评估北极研究社区的不同细分市场如何参与协作活动，以及面对面的活动，以召集北极研究社区的成员，以实现共同的目标； 3）与土著社区和知识系统的合作，包括将土著知识与天气和冰预测相结合，将北极土著领导人与其他决策者联系起来，以及对所有职业水平上的土著学者的其他支持； 4）通讯和外展网络研讨会，新闻通讯，虚拟北极公民科学会议，邮件列表和网站资源； 5）支持机构间北极研究政策委员会（IARPC），这是一个由联邦政府的机构，部门和办公室组成的美国机构间机构，他们定期开会以协调北极联邦资助的研究。该项目的网络，研究社区支持和IARPC支持任务将导致研究人员和资助者聚集在一起探索新的和创新的北极研究合作方式。该项目的沟通活动将向广泛的受众传播北极研究，以强调其与社会的相关性，并在研究界，公民科学家和其他利益相关者之间产生更牢固的联系。与北极土著知识持有人的合作活动将增强研究合作的多样性，从而提高对北极的知识。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛影响的审查标准通过评估来获得支持的。
