Welcome to the Office of Polar Programs SITE MAP! This page organizes links to all of the pages within the Office of Polar Programs that are geared towards users who are curious to read about the polar regions.
The Office of Polar Programs (OPP) manages two research programs:
The Office of Polar Environment, Health and Safety (ESH) in OPP guides environmental
stewardship and safety and health activities for NSF-supported polar research.
The Office of Science and Technology Policy has designated the National Science Foundation the lead agency for the International Polar Year. In support of this effort the Office of Polar Programs has organized information about IPY-related research opportunities supported by OPP and other NSF science directorates.
