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 Toolik 野外站的运营提供资金。 TFS 位于阿拉斯加州布鲁克斯山脉北麓，自 1975 年以来一直是北美北极国家和国际研究的主要场所。随着来自各个学科的科学家对使用 TFS 作为北极环境和生态系统全年研究平台的浓厚兴趣，TFS 成为长期生态研究站点的所在地，TFS 已被选为北极地区研究中心 TFS 是国家生态观测站网络 (NEON) 的苔原站点，预计将于 2014 年在 TFS 开始运营，并且 TFS 是 SCANNET 的成员，SCANNET 被设想为国际极地年之后国际可持续北极观测站网络 (SAON) 倡议的关键陆地组成部分。自 1975 年以来，TFS 已发表了超过 734 篇经过同行评审的期刊文章、107 本书和书籍章节以及 81 篇研究生论文。自 1980 年以来，TFS 一直由阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯分校北极生物学研究所 (IAB) 运营和管理。NSF 通过两项为期五年的合作协议于 2000 年开始支持该站的核心运营。第三个五年协议的目标是，通过在安全条件下促进技术复杂的研究并全年提供具有成本效益的后勤和研究支持以及科学服务，使 TFS 的科学用户能够增进对北极、其生物和物理环境及其与全球系统相互关系的跨学科知识。支持包括公用事业、住房、膳食、现代化实验室空间、安全培训和管理，以及通过 GIS 服务、基线环境监测以及通用科学设备的采购、维护和调度提供的出色研究支持。 2011 年，TFS 将举办一次研讨会，评估 TFS 未来的科学支持需求，其中包括美国和国际参与者。 TFS将继续促进跨学科边界的研究协调，为研究生和本科生提供出色的研究和教育机会，并促进记者、艺术家和公众对北极和研究过程的科学宣传和了解。
