Section for Arctic Sciences (ARC) - Office of Polar Programs (OD/OPP) | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation Section for Arctic Sciences (ARC) View image credit & caption The Arctic regions are among the most sensitive to environmental change and have exceptionally long natural climate records and thousands of years of human settlement.
This interplay provides a unique basis for integrated research on global systems and human adaptation. Arctic Research Opportunities The goal of the arctic research program is to gain a better understanding of the Arctic’s biological, geophysical, chemical and sociocultural processes, and the interactions of ocean, land, atmosphere, biological and human systems.
Arctic research is supported by (OPP) , as well as many other disciplinary programs within the National Science Foundation (NSF). Coordination across NSF includes the potential for joint review and funding of proposals, as well as mutual support of special projects with high logistical costs.
The Arctic Research Opportunities program solicits proposals for the following areas of interest: Arctic Natural Sciences (ANS) Arctic Observing Network (AON) Arctic Social Sciences Program (ASSP) Arctic System Science (ARCSS) Arctic Research Coordination and Policy Support Arctic Research Support and Logistics Information about support for arctic fieldwork in proposals awarded by OPP is available through the Arctic Research Support and Logistics program .
The Arctic Data Center is the repository for project metadata and data. The following opportunities may be of interest to Arctic researchers.

NSF's Arctic Research Opportunities solicitation funds roughly 75 awards a year — up to $50 million — across six program areas from natural sciences to social sciences to the Arctic Observing Network. The July 15, 2026 target date is not a hard deadline, and understanding that distinction is the first strategic decision an Arctic researcher makes. Here is how the six doors differ and how to choose the right one.
