Session Description:
In this session, the U.S. Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee will provide an update on the accomplishments of the Arctic Research Plan, share goals for the next two years, and highlight connections to the ICARP IV international research priorities.
The U.S. Arctic Research Plan 2022-2026 outlines a vision to collaboratively address emerging critical research questions about the Arctic. It is a high-level strategy accompanied by two-year implementation plans with specific research deliverables. From 2022 to 2024, researchers, federal agencies, and Arctic communities came together to make progress on the first set of deliverables, marking achievements in building community resilience and health, understanding Arctic system interactions, supporting sustainable economies and livelihoods, and managing and mitigating risks and hazards. Now, IARPC has created an implementation plan for 2024-5 outlining an updated set of priorities for Arctic research collaboration. These priorities align closely with all of the ICARP IV research priorities.
In addition to information about achievements and forward-looking plans, this meeting will share information about how researchers, Arctic residents, and others can get involved in the Arctic Research Plan, and how participation in IARPC Collaborations can support their work.
