Request for Public Comment: National Plan for Arctic Research
The Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC), chaired by the National Science Foundation, seeks public input from all interested parties on national needs regarding the Arctic and the research necessary to address those needs. The public input provided in response to this RFI will inform the update of the five-year National Arctic Research Plan for 2027-2031. The public comment period closes October 15, 2025.
Intro to the NSF Translation to Practice program
To accelerate the movement of research discoveries into practical use, the U.S. National Science Foundation is announcing the new NSF Translation to Practice (NSF TTP) program. This program supports use-inspired research and translational activities that connect foundational science with societal and market needs.
Episode 7
Fostering Indigenous-led Research grows with students and early career professionals as they add to the momentum of co-production and convergence research that is beneficial to Arctic communities, their respective institutions, as well as the world at large. Learning from their peers, mentors, and experiences, they are more equipped to build and maintain relationships with communities and make lasting and reciprocal connections.
Episode 6
Convergence research engages with vexing and complex research challenges that are pivotal for addressing societal needs. It is a major focus for the Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) program and the NNA Community Office. The NNA-CO’s Convergence Working Groups (CWGs) bring together diverse experts and perspectives that engage with the Arctic to work together towards newly formed and shared goals. There are 3 CWGs supported by the NNA-CO: Fostering Indigenous-led Research CWG, Infrastructure Futures CWG, and Arctic Observing Systems and Technology CWG.
Episode 5
As we move forward with research in the Arctic, many agencies and researchers are looking at their research practices critically to be more inclusive, equitable, and practical.
Episode 4
Fisheries techniques and innovations as well as innovations in technology that work in Greenland could work elsewhere in the Arctic and Antarctic. Cold weather batteries, fish preserving technology, and moving toward community-collaboration with research and policy are explored in this podcast. Join us as we dive into aspects of Greenland fisheries, scholarly activities, and visual and musical art.
