This award will provide funding to operate Toolik Field Station. Located in the northern foothills of the Brooks Range, Alaska, TFS has been a major site for national and international research in the North American Arctic since 1975. Along with the ongoing strong interest by scientists from a broad array of disciplines for use of TFS as a research platform for year-round studies of the arctic environment and ecosystems, TFS is the site of a Long Term Ecological Research site, TFS has been selected as the arctic tundra site for the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON), which is expected to begin operations at TFS in 2014, and TFS is a member of SCANNET, which is envisioned as a key terrestrial building block in the international Sustaining Arctic Observatory Networks (SAON) initiative following International Polar Year. Over 734 peer-reviewed journal articles, 107 books and book chapters, and 81 graduate theses have been published since 1975 on research based at TFS. TFS has been operated and managed by the Institute of Arctic Biology (IAB), University of Alaska Fairbanks, since 1980. NSF began supporting core operation of the station in 2000, through two five-year cooperative agreements. The objective of this third five-year agreement is to enable science users of TFS to advance interdisciplinary knowledge of the Arctic, its biological and physical environments and their interrelationships with global systems, by facilitating technologically sophisticated research under safe conditions and providing cost-effective logistical and research support and scientific services year-round. Support including utilities, housing, meals, modern laboratory space, safety training and management, and excellent research support through GIS services, baseline environmental monitoring, and the acquisition, maintenance and scheduling of common-use scientific equipment. In 2011, TFS will conduct a workshop to assess science support needs at TFS into the future that will include U.S. and international participants. TFS will continue to promote the coordination of research across disciplinary boundaries, provide outstanding research and educational opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students, and facilitate scientific outreach and understanding of the Arctic and the research process to journalists, artists, and the public.

该奖项将为操作工具现场站提供资金。 TFS位于阿拉斯加布鲁克斯山脉的北部山麓丘陵中，自1975年以来一直是北美北极地区国家和国际研究的主要地点。随着科学家从一系列广泛的学科中持续的强烈兴趣，用于将TFS用于全年的研究平台，用于北极环境和生态系统的研究。国家生态天文台网络（NEON）的Tundra站点预计将于2014年在TFS开始运营，而TFS是Scannet的成员，Scannet被视为国际维持北极维持天文台网络（SAON）的重要地面构建块，此后国际性的国际极性之后。自1975年以来，超过734篇经过同行评审的期刊文章，107本书和书籍章节以及81个研究生论文就在TFS的研究中发表了。自1980年以来，TFS一直由阿拉斯加Fairbanks大学北极生物学研究所（IAB）运营和管理。NSF通过两项五年合作协议开始支持该站的核心运营。第三五年协议的目的是使TFS的科学用户能够通过在安全条件下促进技术复杂的研究，并提供成本效益的逻辑和研究支持和科学服务和科学服务，从而促进北极，生物学和物理环境及其与全球系统的相互关系的跨学科知识。包括公用事业，住房，餐饮，现代实验室空间，安全培训和管理以及通过GIS服务，基线环境监测以及对共同使用科学设备的获取，维护和安排的支持，包括公用事业，住房，现代实验室空间，安全培训和管理。 2011年，TFS将举办一个研讨会，以评估将来包括美国和国际参与者在内的TFS科学支持需求。 TFS将继续促进跨学科界限的研究协调，为研究生和本科生提供杰出的研究和教育机会，并促进科学的外展和对北极和研究过程的理解，并向记者，艺术家和公众提供。
