The NNA-CO organized and facilitated an NNA International Meeting (hybrid event) at ASSW 2022. The meeting focused on highlighting existing international NNA research partnerships and opportunities for new international collaboration. NNA projects showcased their work and discussed how they were approaching international collaboration in the Arctic, where they had seen progress and opportunity, and where persistent challenges remained. The meeting coincided with the Arctic Observing Summit (AOS), and perspectives were invited on how NNA research was contributing to Arctic observing systems. Current NNA researchers, collaborators, and others interested in learning more about NNA and related opportunities were invited to attend.

As a key part of NNA Community Office (NNA-CO) funded activities, the NNA-CO facilitated the formation, implementation, and outputs of four Convergence Working Groups. The NNA-CO established initial functions and goals, while intentionally leaving many design elements and thematic focuses undefined to allow for community input and co-design across the NNA project community. To inform CWG development, the NNA-CO sought targeted input from February 15 through April 1. Community members were invited to share comments via a Google Form, email with the heading “CWG Input,” comment directly on the document, or attend an open comment and discussion session on March 16, 2022.

Arctic Research Plan 2022-2026

In December 2021, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy released IARPC’s Arctic Research Plan 2022–2026. Building on the successes and communities of practice of the 2017–2021 plan, the new Arctic Research Plan is a bold strategy for a changing Arctic. It outlines a vision for federal agencies to address emerging research questions about this vital region, and provides pathways to strengthen relationships between federal agencies and Indigenous communities, academia and non-federal researchers, the state of Alaska, nonprofits, and private sector and international organizations. Read the plan.
