Support for Participation of Graduate Students in the Annual Arctic Workshop

首席研究员正在申请资金，以继续支持极地方案办公室(OPP)支持研究生参加一年一度的北极讲习班。在过去的八年里，OPP通过支付注册费、每日伙食费和四个晚上的住宿费来支持参加这次研讨会。最后一笔赠款资助了渥太华大学、科罗拉多大学、华盛顿大学和马萨诸塞州大学的北极研讨会。预算是基于25名学生的出席人数，但每个研讨会的实际人数接近50人。接下来的三个讲习班将在科罗拉多大学、特罗姆索大学(挪威)和科罗拉多大学举行。北极讲习班的组成通常由大约55%的专业北极科学家(学术和政府)和45%的研究生组成。主要的努力是为所有的毕业生提供一个研究的论坛，并与他们的同龄人建立适当的“网络”。北极讲习班有来自几个国家的与会者，有来自美国、加拿大、挪威、冰岛、瑞典、德国/奥地利和英国的大量与会者。

The Principal Investigator is requesting funds requested to continue Office of Polar Programs (OPP) support for graduate student participation in the annual Arctic Workshops. Over the last eight years, OPP has supported attendance at this workshop through payments of registration, per diem meals, and lodging for four nights. The last grant supported the Arctic Workshop at the Universities of Ottawa, Colorado, Washington, and Massachusetts. The budget is based on an attendance of 25 students, but the actual number per workshop was closer to 50. The next three workshops will be held at the University of Colorado, the University of Tromso (Norway), and the University of Colorado. The composition of the Arctic Workshops typically consists of about 55% professional Arctic scientists (academic and government), and 45% graduate students. A major effort is placed toward providing all the graduates with a forum for their research and to establish the appropriate "network" with their peers. The Arctic Workshops have participants from several countries with significant attendance from the United States, Canada, Norway, Iceland, Sweden, Germany/Austria, and the United Kingdom.
