The Churchill Northern Studies Centre (CNSC) provides extensive support to researchers involved in northern research. Research activities undertaken from and at the CNSC include boreal forestry and biology, tundra studies, climate change, freshwater quality, auroral research, northern ecology, and wildlife management. For over 25 years the CNSC has served as one of the most accessible northern-focused research centres in  the country. It is located in a geographically unique location, at the confluence of a number of major ecoregions, and adjacent to a boreal marine environment. Thus it can, and does, support a very broad array of research projects, and the scope of research that the CNSC has supported in the past attests to this fact. Facilitating more year-round access to the CNSC, and enabling a wider range of on-site research and analysis to be conducted at the CNSC would greatly enhance research opportunities for scientists from across Canada. This proposal is designed to facilitate greater year-round access and in-house research and analysis at CNSC through enhancements of the existing infrastructure. Opportunities for year-round world-class and specialized research (such as auroral and climate change research) and the scope of supportable research at the Churchill facility are at an all-time high; consequently, the unique geographic advantage that the Churchill facility provides must be fully exploited.

丘吉尔北方研究中心（CNSC）为参与北方研究的研究人员提供广泛的支持。CNSC的研究活动包括北方森林和生物学、冻土研究、气候变化、淡水质量、极光研究、北方生态学和野生动物管理。25年来，CNSC一直是该国最方便的北方研究中心之一。它位于一个独特的地理位置，在一些主要生态区的交汇处，并毗邻北方海洋环境。因此，它能够而且确实支持非常广泛的研究项目，CNSC过去支持的研究范围证明了这一事实。促进更多的全年进入CNSC，并使更广泛的现场研究和分析在CNSC进行将大大增加来自加拿大各地的科学家的研究机会。该建议旨在通过加强现有基础设施，促进CNSC的全年访问和内部研究与分析。丘吉尔设施全年提供世界级和专门研究（如极光和气候变化研究）的机会以及可支持的研究范围处于历史最高水平;因此，必须充分利用丘吉尔设施提供的独特地理优势。
