OPP Proposal Information

NSF funds research and education in science and engineering fields. The following publications provide information on NSF research areas, proposal submission process and deadlines, and specific information concerning Antarctic and Arctic research sponsored through the Office of Polar Programs at NSF. 

Guide to Programs, Fiscal Year 2004 (NSF 04-009)

  • This is a compilation of NSF funding opportunities. This publication contains a chapter on "Polar Programs" which describes research opportunities in the Antarctic and the Arctic, proposal submission deadlines for both polar regions, and some general information on proposal submission process.

Grant Proposal Guide (NSF 04-2)

  • This brochure provides guidance for the preparation of unsolicited proposals to NSF. Some NSF programs have specific program announcements/solicitations which may modify the general provisions of this brochure. Contact with NSF program personnel prior to proposal preparation is encouraged. Information in this brochure applies to all NSF programs. Specific information and guidance on Antarctic and Arctic Research is provided in the following two publications.

Antarctic Research: Program Announcement and Proposal Guide (NSF 04-559)--Deadline:  4 June 2004

  • This brochure summarizes Antarctic research opportunities, describes support available in Antarctica, explains how to prepare a proposal for research project support, provides worksheets to be used in preparing the proposal, and suggests sources of further information. 
Antarctic Artists and Writers Program (NSF 04-558)--Deadline: 2 June 2004
  • The Antarctic Artists and Writers Program is the component of the U.S. Antarctic Program that provides opportunities for scholars in the humanities (painting, photography, writing, history, and other liberal arts) to be in Antarctica or on the Southern Ocean--at research stations, camps, ships, and wilderness areas--to make observations needed to complete their proposed projects. The purpose of the program is to enable serious writings and the arts that increase understanding of the Antarctic and help document America's antarctic heritage.

Arctic Research Opportunities (NSF 05-514)--Target Date:  24 January 2005

  • This publication describes how to submit proposals for research in the Arctic and to perform arctic research at institutions in the United States.
