Overview

The USAP collaboration site provides a shared area for common access to information and collaboration processes of importance to USAP program participants. It implements the concepts of automated work flow to provide a tool for anytime, anywhere.

The site supports the following USAP communities:

  • Operational support personnel (permanent and seasonal, and government and contractor)
  • Scientists with active NSF/OPP research grants
  • Tenant organizations, guests and visitors, including those authorized by the NSF to deploy to Antarctica for task-specific purposes
  • Select international collaborators for program operations and active science research programs

Collaboration Categories

The site facilitates the following collborative efforts:

  • Team-oriented planning and coordination management
  • Project management collaboration for spatially and temporally dispersed team members
  • Maintenance of a common information repository for task specific activities
  • Maintenance of a general library of information of broad interest or importance to the USAP participant community
  • Communication of general information of interest to a specific niche participant community regarding operational status, plans, requirements, and feedback

For further examples of content, see the Collaboration Categories page.
