Toolik Field Station (TFS), established in 1975, continues to be a premier site for research in the Arctic to study tundra, lakes, streams and is a site for atmospheric and space research. TFS is the site of many discoveries about how arctic terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems function. The long history of research at TFS enables studies of the impacts of climate change, how plants and animals adapt to change, and how these changes will have broad, international impacts. TFS supports the Arctic Long-Term Ecological Research program (LTER), projects in the Arctic Observatory Network program (AON), NASA’s Arctic Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE), the Earthscope Transportable Array, and is a core site for the National Ecological Observatory Network program (NEON). TFS is a founding partner in the EU-sponsored International Network for Terrestrial Research and Monitoring in the Arctic (INTERACT), which links field stations around the circumpolar Arctic, and a member of the Organization of Biological Field Stations (OBFS). At least 1433 peer-reviewed journal articles, 176 books or book chapters and 207 dissertations and theses have been published on research based at TFS since 1975. Educational opportunities are offered for graduate and undergraduate students and scientific outreach is facilitated through visits from journalists, artist, writers, and educators. This cooperative agreement provides funding to the Institute of Arctic Biology at the University of Alaska Fairbanks to operate TFS in support of research year-round. The infrastructure to enable research includes baseline measurements at the station available publicly, maps and spatial analyses, data collection for researchers according to their instructions, and access to laboratory, dorm and cafeteria services. TFS is a remote station that must provide communication, power, water, and water treatment. Best practices for field station management are used. The user community is engaged through workshops, surveys, and advisory committees to provide input on the operation of the station for continuous improvement.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.

图里克野外站（TFS）成立于1975年，仍然是北极研究苔原、湖泊、溪流的首要地点，也是大气和空间研究的地点。TFS是许多关于北极陆地和水生生态系统功能的发现的地方。TFS悠久的研究历史使人们能够研究气候变化的影响、植物和动物如何适应变化以及这些变化将如何产生广泛的国际影响。TFS支持北极长期生态研究计划（LTER）、北极观测网络计划（AON）项目、美国宇航局北极北部脆弱性实验（ABoVE）、地球镜可移动阵列，并且是国家生态观测网络计划（氖）的核心站点。TFS是欧盟赞助的北极陆地研究和监测国际网络（INTERACT）的创始伙伴，该网络将北极圈周围的实地站联系起来，并且是生物实地站组织（OBFS）的成员。自1975年以来，至少有1433篇同行评议的期刊文章，176本书或书籍章节和207篇论文和论文发表在TFS的研究基础上。为研究生和本科生提供教育机会，并通过记者，艺术家，作家和教育工作者的访问促进科学推广。这项合作协议为阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯北极生物学研究所提供资金，以运营TFS，支持全年的研究。支持研究的基础设施包括公开的台站基线测量、地图和空间分析、研究人员根据指示收集数据以及获得实验室、宿舍和自助餐厅服务。TFS是一个远程站，必须提供通信，电力，水和水处理。采用了外地台站管理的最佳做法。用户社区通过研讨会、调查和咨询委员会参与进来，为该站的持续改进提供投入。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
