If you are preparing a NSF proposal that includes any kind of support from the U.S. Ice Drilling Program Office (IDPO) as part of your proposed project, you must contact IDPO via an email to IceDrill@Dartmouth.edu at least six weeks before you submit your proposal. This email will be received by the IDPO collaborators and by Ice Drilling Design and Operations group (IDDO). Personnel from IDDO will contact you to discuss your needs and provide a cost estimate, which must be included as Supplemental Information with your proposal.

Dear Ice Drilling and Ice Coring Colleagues,
We want to bring your attention to the updated Draft Long Range Science Plan for ice coring and drilling produced by IDPO and the Science Advisory Board (SAB). We are making this Draft available to solicit community input on the Long Range Science Plan for the ice coring and drilling community. This document is meant to be the forward planning path for our sciences. We encourage everyone to review the document and send comments, questions, additions, etc to icedrill@dartmouth.edu. This is your chance to have your say about the future of ice drilling science. On June 1, 2010 we will incorporate the information we receive and produce the final 2010 Long Range Science Plan. This plan will be revisited and revised as appropriate each spring. We thank you in advance for your input.

The IDPO and IDDO are currently in the process of generating a Long-Range Drilling Technology Plan that includes goals, emphases, specific drilling projects that will be supported, drill allocation, and technology development activities, all to the extent that they are known with timelines for IDPO/IDDO actions over the next five years. The plan, which is revised annually, will directly respond to the Long-Range Science Plan. The Long-Range Drilling Technology Plan will be available soon.
IDDO maintains and operates existing drill equipment, and develops new systems with two principal foci:
Visit the Equipment section of the website to learn more about the existing equipment that is available to the scientific community.
Visit the Projects page to learn about current (and forthcoming) projects that utilize IDDO services.
As required by the project’s Cooperative Agreements, IDPO/IDDO has developed a strategic and implementation plan to guide its activities.
If you have feedback and suggestions for us, contact the IDPO/IDDO team using the online contact form.
