This grant funds research projects in Antarctica that do not require support from the U.S. Antarctic Program.
About this program
The Antarctic Research Not Requiring U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP) Field Support grant is designed to facilitate scientific research in Antarctica by providing funding for projects that can be conducted independently of USAP resources. This grant is aimed at researchers and institutions that have the capability to manage their own logistics and operations in the challenging Antarctic environment. It supports a wide range of scientific disciplines, encouraging innovative research that contributes to our understanding of the Antarctic ecosystem and its global significance. Eligible applicants include academic institutions, research organizations, and other entities with a proven track record in conducting research in extreme environments. The grant allows for flexibility in project design and implementation, enabling researchers to explore various scientific questions while adhering to environmental and safety regulations. By fostering independent research efforts, this grant aims to enhance the body of knowledge about Antarctica and promote international collaboration in polar science.
Eligibility
