The Polar Research Board (PRB), a unit of the National Research Council, was established in 1958 to advise the government on polar issues. The PRB strives to make research in the polar regions more productive and responsive to the needs of the United States, to maintain U.S. awareness of, and representation in, international science programs, and to enhance understanding of issues in polar regions. The Board provides national and international scientific and technical information to U.S. government policy makers and the polar community, represents U.S. interests in international nongovernmental polar scientific organizations and conducts focused studies in areas of polar science, technology and resource management. The PRB facilitates participation of U.S. scientists in two critical international committees dedicated to planning and coordination research in the Arctic and Antarctic [i.e., the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) and the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR)]. PRB activities are conducted by a group of volunteer experts, supported by a small staff, selected from academic institutions, industry and national laboratories. The PRB will continue to serve as an information center for distributing materials on IASC and SCAR to U.S. government agencies and the polar community. Other federal agencies and foundations also provide support to the PRB.

极地研究委员会(PRB)是国家研究委员会的一个单位，成立于1958年，目的是就极地问题向政府提供建议。PRB努力使极地地区的研究更有成效，并响应美国的需求，保持美国对国际科学计划的认识和参与，并加强对极地地区问题的理解。该委员会向美国政府政策制定者和极地社区提供国家和国际科学技术信息，代表美国在国际非政府极地科学组织中的利益，并在极地科学、技术和资源管理领域进行重点研究。PRB促进美国科学家参与两个致力于规划和协调北极和南极研究的重要国际委员会[即国际北极科学委员会(IASC)和南极研究科学委员会(SCAR)]。PRB的活动由一个志愿专家小组进行，并由从学术机构、工业和国家实验室挑选的一小部分工作人员提供支助。PRB将继续作为一个信息中心，向美国政府机构和极地社区分发有关IASC和SCAR的材料。其他联邦机构和基金会也向PRB提供支持。
