IDP Letter of Support for Pre-proposal Concept Outlines for USAP Antarctic Fieldwork
Article Content:
As a reminder, the Antarctic Research Requiring U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP) Support for Fieldwork NSF program solicitation (NSF 23-509) requires the submittal of a Concept Outline describing needed logistical support prior to submission of a full proposal. The Concept Outline allows for a preliminary assessment of the logistics feasibility of the proposed activities and feedback to the PI about potential supportability for proposed activities before the development of a full proposal. The Concept Outline requires the same information as the Logistics Requirement and Field Plan. And for projects requesting services from NSF-supported research support facilities (such as IRIS, UNAVCO, PGC, IDP, NCALM, etc.), a letter from the facility indicating the feasibility and additional costs needed to support the proposed research is a requirement for the Logistics Requirement and Field Plan.
If you are preparing a USAP fieldwork proposal that includes any support from IDP, you should include a Letter of Support from IDP in the Concept Outline. Researchers are asked to provide IDP with a detailed support request three weeks prior to the date the Letter of Support is required. Early submissions are strongly encouraged.

If you are preparing a proposal that includes any kind of support from IDPO-IDDO, you must include a Letter of Support/Scope of Work (LoS/SoW) document from IDPO-IDDO in the proposal. Researchers are asked to provide IDPO-IDDO with a detailed support request six weeks prior to the date the LoS/SoW document is required. Early submissions are strongly encouraged.
One aspect that has changed in our Letter of Support is that the costs for IDDO driller salary associated with providing the field drilling support is no longer requested from the NSF Science Program Managers, rather it is provided from within our IDPO-IDDO Cooperative Agreement with NSF. This means that the IDDO costs to NSF science projects are lower than they have been in the past.
