Samples and data obtained by researchers working in Antarctica are valuable, unique assets which typically require a substantial and expensive logistical effort to acquire. Preservation of these data increases the return on the significant public investment for acquisition, enabling future re-use for new analyses, and ensure that data behind scientific publications are available for others to review. The US Antarctic Program Data Center (USAP-DC) will provide an open-disciplinary hybrid repository for project metadata and the diverse research data obtained from the Antarctic region by NSF funded researchers for which other data repositories do not exist. In addition, a Project Catalog will provide a single online resource for the US Antarctic scientific community to manage information about their research activities and will link project metadata to the various distributed repositories where Antarctic data resides. In doing so, the USAP-DC will follow community best practices and standards to ensure data are citable, shareable, and discoverable. It will also facilitate registration of data descriptions into the Antarctic Master Directory to meet US goals for data sharing under the International Antarctic Treaty. With full open access to interfaces to search for and download data, USAP-DC will make a wide range of data products resulting from NSF funded research in Antarctica available not only to the research community but also to the broader public. The data center is operated using community standards for metadata and data access which helps ensure data re-usability into the future. The new Project catalog, which is designed to support consolidation of information on research products of USAP awards over the lifetime of a project, will make it simpler for NSF program managers, but also for individual researchers and especially larger collaborative research groups to keep track of datasets and related information produced as part of their projects. Through tutorials and meetings at conferences USAP-DC will contribute to raise awareness and inform the research community, especially new investigators about data management best practices.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在南极洲工作的研究人员获得的样本和数据是宝贵的、独特的资产，通常需要大量且昂贵的后勤工作才能获得。保存这些数据增加了用于采购的重大公共投资的回报，使未来能够重新用于新的分析，并确保科学出版物背后的数据可供其他人审查。美国南极计划数据中心(USAP-DC)将为项目元数据和由NSF资助的研究人员从南极地区获得的各种研究数据提供一个开放学科的混合库，这些数据没有其他数据库。此外，项目目录将为美国南极科学界提供单一的在线资源，以管理有关其研究活动的信息，并将项目元数据链接到南极数据所在的各种分布式储存库。在此过程中，USAP-DC将遵循社区最佳实践和标准，以确保数据可引用、可共享和可发现。它还将促进将数据描述登记到南极总目录中，以实现美国在《国际南极条约》下共享数据的目标。通过完全开放接口来搜索和下载数据，USAP-DC将使NSF资助的南极洲研究产生的各种数据产品不仅向研究界而且向更广泛的公众开放。该数据中心使用针对元数据和数据访问的社区标准进行操作，这有助于确保数据在未来的可重用性。新的项目目录旨在支持在项目生命周期内整合USAP奖项研究产品的信息，这将使NSF项目经理更容易，但也使个人研究人员，特别是更大的合作研究小组能够跟踪作为其项目一部分产生的数据集和相关信息。通过会议上的教程和会议，USAP-DC将有助于提高认识，并向研究社区，特别是新的调查人员提供关于数据管理最佳实践的信息。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
