Solicitation
07-532
Please be advised that the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) includes
revised guidelines to implement the mentoring provisions of the America COMPETES Act (ACA)
(Pub. L. No. 110-69, Aug. 9, 2007.) As specified in the ACA, each proposal that requests
funding to support postdoctoral researchers must include a description of the mentoring
activities that will be provided for such individuals. Proposals that do not comply
with this requirement will be returned without review (see the PAPP Guide Part I:
Grant Proposal Guide Chapter II for further information about the implementation of
this new requirement).
SYNOPSIS
![](https://webarchive.library.unt.edu/web/20090507192827im_/http://nsf.gov/images/bluefade.jpg)
This solicitation is for proposals to conduct research aimed at understanding how the Arctic Ocean margins (from the shore to the basin) function within the arctic system as a whole. Priority will be placed on research efforts that focus on data integration, synthesis, and modeling activities that lead to new system-level understanding, rather than projects that generate new data from field studies. This solicitation is intended to support the final phase (Phase III) of the Shelf-Basin Interactions (SBI) project, which has accumulated nearly ten years of field investigation data and analyses. SBI science planning and implementation documents and additional information are available through the SBI webpage at: http://sbi.utk.edu.
