The purpose of the Polar Research Board (PRB) is to provide independent assistance to federal agencies and the nation on science issues of importance in the Arctic, Antarctic, and cold regions broadly. The PRB is a forum for high level discussion as well as an oversight body that designs studies, workshops, and other activities that use volunteer experts to provide objective advice. Activities include program reviews, assessment of priorities, and analyses of controversial and nationally important topics. The PRB serves as US National Committee to the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR), International Arctic Science Committee (IASC), and International Polar Year 2007-2008 and thus facilitates US leadership in these international groups. For 2009-2010, PRB will continue to plan activities where objective, independent discussion and analysis are needed. IPY 2007-2008 will remain a top focus, especially the final activities needed to ensure synthesis and integration of the results.

极地研究委员会(PRB)的目的是在北极、南极和广大寒冷地区的重要科学问题上向联邦机构和国家提供独立的援助。PRB是一个高层讨论的论坛，也是一个监督机构，负责设计研究、研讨会和其他活动，利用志愿专家提供客观建议。活动包括计划审查、优先事项评估以及对有争议的和具有国家重要性的主题进行分析。PRB是南极研究科学委员会(SCAR)、国际北极科学委员会(IASC)和2007-2008年国际极地年的美国全国委员会，从而促进了美国在这些国际组织中的领导地位。在2009-2010年期间，复原局将继续规划需要进行客观、独立讨论和分析的活动。2007-2008国际年仍将是最重要的重点，特别是确保综合和整合成果所需的最后活动。
