The Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) has released a draft of the next five-year Arctic Research Plan, which will span from 2022-2026. IARPC is now asking the public to comment on the draft plan by June 11, 2021. To provide additional information about the draft plan contents and development, IARPC is hosting a series of one-hour information sessions.

Each information session will provide an overview of IARPC, the timeline for developing the Arctic Research Plan 2022-2026, the contents of the draft plan, and how to submit comments on the draft.

In addition to this information, each webinar will provide a deeper dive into one of the plan priority areas or the foundational activities. We will also host a teleconference-only information session for individuals who cannot access webinars due to lower internet bandwidth. Please note that these are informational sessions only; official comments must be submitted separately.
