of its program solicitation, "Arctic Research Opportunities" (NSF
03-574) http://www.nsf.gov/pubsys/ods/getpub.cfm?ods_key=nsf03574.
This document replaces NSF 00-96. "Arctic Research Opportunities" (NSF
03-574) is applicable to the August 30, 2003 proposal Deadline/Target
Date, and each August 30 and February 15 Deadline/Target Date

"Arctic Research Opportunities" (NSF 03-574) provides information to
investigators planning to submit proposals to all programs in the Arctic
Sciences Section: Arctic Natural Sciences; Arctic Social Sciences;
Arctic System Science; Arctic Research Support and Logistics; Arctic
Research and Policy; and Arctic Research and Education. Please read the
full text of the revised solicitation carefully and pay close attention
to Deadlines and Target Dates for specific programs.

version are noted on the title page of the document. Changes include:
- The August 8 proposal Deadline/Target Date has been changed to August
30 in 2003 and each subsequent year
- The two annual proposal Deadlines/Target Dates for all programs are
August 30 and February 15 of each year

proposal competitions
- Program descriptions, proposal preparation information and other
information is updated
- The NSF Grant Proposal Guide (GPG) has been revised, effective June 1,

according to the current NSF GPG
