(BEST) Research and Funding Plans Town-Hall Meeting
This Town-hall meeting will provide the community with information
on the Bering Ecosystem Study (BEST), a new research program
sponsored by the National Science Foundation. Five proposals were funded
in response to the first funding competition in 2006, and
a second AO has been published with a closing date of March 15, 2007.
The Town-hall meeting will provide those interested in this program
a chance to learn about what has been funded and additional funding
opportunities through the second AO. We plan brief introductory presentations
on recent changes in the Bering Sea and on the scope of the
funded proposals, to be followed by an open question / answer session.
A representative of the Arctic Section of the Office of Polar Programs
has been invited to provide background on their expectations for responses
to the AO.
