[LTER-im] RFP for Arctic Data Center Synthesis Working Group proposals

[Mark Schildhauer]

Hi folks,

Wanted to bring this to your (and "your" researchers) attention-- sorry for
any cross-postings...
___________________________________________

To promote the analysis and synthesis of Arctic data, as well as to inform
ongoing development of the NSF data repository, the Arctic Data Center
<https://arcticdata.io/> is soliciting requests for proposals for a *Synthesis
Working Group*, with research to begin* by October 2018*.

Funding is available for one Working Group, consisting of hosting two
meetings of approximately 15 participants each, over an anticipated 1-1.5
year period.  Meetings will take place at the Arctic Data Center, operated
out of the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (
https://nceas.ucsb.edu) in Santa Barbara, California.

Proposals must focus on Arctic-related research issues, and primarily (but
not necessarily exclusively) involve the analysis and synthesis of data
contained within the Arctic Data Center Repository
<https://arcticdata.io/catalog>. We request that all synthesis
proposals *explicitly
address factors related to one or more human dimensions of the Arctic
experience*, in addition to earth and environmental aspects.

Proposals can be up to a maximum of 2000 words, and are due by end-of-day May
23, 2018.

For details, see https://arcticdata.io/proposals
For questions about this RFP, please email: proposals at arcticdata.io

*************
The Arctic Data Center <https://arcticdata.io/> is an NSF-funded (award
#1546024) archive for Arctic science data and related research documents.
Operational since March 2016, the Arctic Data Center is a national
partnership, led by the National Center for Ecological Analysis and
Synthesis (NCEAS <https://nceas.ucsb.edu/>) at the University of California
Santa Barbara, in collaboration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI
<https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/>) and the NSF-funded Data Observation Network
for Earth (DataONE <https://dataone.org/>). The long-term Arctic Data
Center repository allows for the preservation and sharing of data spanning
many disciplines from the Arctic, now and into the future.
*************
thank you for your interest...
Mark Schildhauer
