The International Polar Year begins in March of 2007. NSF is the flagship U.S. government agency for the International Polar Year, which runs from March 2007 until March 2009.
As part of its IPY activities, the NSF SBE programs (which includes social psychology) will be pleased to receive proposals that address social, economic or behavioral science issues in polar regions. It is anticipated that NSF may also be issuing an IPY solicitation, most likely during the autumn of 2006, inviting the submission of proposals addressing questions about polar regions. The Foundation hopes that many of the social, behavioral, and economic science communities will be important contributors to the IPY effort, producing deeper understanding of such crucial issues as:
--working and living in polar regions,
--global warming issues at the poles,
--special concerns related to conduct of polar science, and other topics that social and behavioral scientists deem important in this arena.
Because this will be the International Polar Year, international collaborations might be especially appropriate.
If some aspect of your work might fit or illuminate an aspect of polar science, please keep in mind that this additional funding opportunity may be available to you. The International Polar Year web site <http://www.us-ipy.gov/> may help you think about how your work could pertain to IPY issues, including how it might fit into an interdisciplinary research program.
Keep your eye on the NSF's web sites, especially that of the Office of Polar Programs <http://www.nsf.gov/dir/index.jsp?org=OPP>, for further information.
