    The HARC Initiative

    The Human Dimensions of the Arctic System (HARC) initiative supports research that examines the ways in which humans affect and are affected by the Arctic system. HARC is a component of the Arctic System Science (ARCSS) Program at the Office of Polar Programs of the National Science Foundation.You can read more about the HARC initiative in the HARC Prospectus.

    Science Management Office (SMO)
    The science management office coordinates research planning and distributes information about the HARC initiative to the arctic research community to stimulate the development of HARC research proposals. The SMO is a point of contact for researchers interested in pursuing questions relevant to human dimensions of the arctic system. The SMO can assist reseachers with networking and answer questions about developing proposals to HARC. We hope to increase awareness of the HARC initiative and stimulate HARC research through this web site, the online workshops, and other SMO endeavors.

    Online Workshops
    The SMO sponsored two more in the series of web-based workshops begun in Fall 2001. The April 2002 workshops were designed to help develop project-level ideas incorporating HARC research within new and emerging initiatives in the Arctic System Science (ARCSS) Program at the National Science Foundation. For more information about these Spring 2002 online workshops, click here. For more information about the three workshops held in Fall 2001, click here.

    "There is an inseparable link between humans and the environment, and the study of one without the other can go only halfway to finding solutions to the challenges that face us."
