The Ice Drilling Program Office (IDPO) is led by Mary Albert at Dartmouth College with collaborations at the University of Wisconsin (UW) and University of New Hampshire. The IDPO provides scientific leadership and oversight of ice coring and drilling activities funded by NSF and also oversees the IDDO.

The Ice Drilling Design and Operations (IDDO), led by Charles Bentley at UW, provides engineering design support for new drilling systems as well as the operation and maintenance of existing drill systems now under the purview of IDDO at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Space Science and Engineering Center (UW-SSEC). Many of the staff and familiar engineers and drillers who worked with the Ice Coring & Drilling Services (ICDS) group under the previous contract to UW now provide the support for IDDO, with IDPO oversight.
