OASIS updates & proposals

[Faye McNeill]

Dear OASIS group, 

I wanted to pass along some updates:

 - OASIS has been officially endorsed by IGAC!  OASIS and AICI together are now considered one "activity" of IGAC, meaning we can get modest support from them for our workshops in the future (OASIS and AICI will basically alternate years, as we have been doing).  In case you missed it, SOLAS also endorses us (starting this past Fall) although there is no financial support associated with that endorsement

 - Following on our discussions of last summer's workshop, we teamed up with a long list of international organizations working in polar science including AICI, BEPSII, ArcticNET, CliC, CLIVAR, CRAICC, SVALI, DEFROST, NORDFROST, ISAC, SEARCH, and AINA to submit a network proposal to an organization called FutureEarth (basically the future IGBP, which is the parent organization of IGAC and SOLAS).  OASIS is the lead group on the proposal, and the proposal was endorsed by IGAC and SOLAS.  The proposal is for $100,000 over two years, so the scope would be to initiate the network, and hold a workshop to kickoff the activity and plan for future funding to sustain the network.  We'll keep you posted on its progress. 

 - Another international funding opportunity has opened up through the Belmont Forum: http://igfagcr.org/cra-2014-arctic-observing-and-research-sustainability.  We may organize another proposal using all or part of the team that we built for the Future Earth proposal. Please let us know if you plan to submit something to the call or if you'd like to be involved in a group proposal.

All the best, 

Faye

Dear OASIS group, 

I'm happy to announce that our proposal to Future Earth to establish an Interdisciplinary, International Polar Science Network was successful!  We will receive a small amount of funding from Future Earth to form a research network (which will include two additional Arctic-related proposal groups, as well as the 17+ organizations we identified in our proposal) and meet and coordinate, with the goal of developing "a new proposal which addresses how polar (or arctic) issues should be addressed through one process in Future Earth," to be submitted to a new call for Future Earth proposals in 2015.  This is essentially what we had proposed to do, except on a shorter timescale and with slightly less financial support, but possibly a clearer path towards obtaining sustainable funding for the network in the future. 

I will keep you posted of all new developments.  

All the best, 

Faye

Now the fun (work) really begins!
Thank you Faye
