SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

About IARPC 

IARPC was established by the Arctic 

Research Policy act of 1984 (ARPA) to 

‘‘facilitate cooperation between the 

Federal Government and State and local 

governments in Arctic research’’ and 

‘‘recommend the undertaking of 

neglected areas of research’’ (ARPA 

Section 104). Now a subcommittee of 

the National Science and Technology 

Council (NSTC), IARPC enhances 

scientific monitoring and research on 

individual components of the Arctic, as 

well as how the system operates as a 

whole, through the coordination of 

federal agencies and domestic and 

international collaborators. It consists of 

representatives from 14 federal agencies, 

the White House Office of Science and 

Technology Policy (OSTP), and the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB).

About the 2022–2026 Arctic Research 

Plan 

IARPC is required by law to prepare 

and execute a 5-year Arctic Research 

Plan, which helps coordinate the overall 

federal Arctic research effort. To address 

the interests and needs of all, IARPC 

works collaboratively with 

representatives from local communities, 

Indigenous Peoples, the state of Alaska, 

the private sector, non-governmental 

organizations, research institutions, and 

the academic community. 

In September 2019, the IARPC 

Principals approved the development of 

the next Arctic Research Plan, covering 

the period of 2022–2026, with a planned 

release at the end of 2021. On April 3, 

2020, IARPC published a notice in the 

Federal Register to request public input 

on the content and organization of the 

2022–2026 Plan (86 FR 19031). In 

September 2020, IARPC convened a 

workshop to develop the potential 

priority areas for the 2022–2026 Arctic 

Research Plan for consideration by the 

IARPC Principals. The draft plan 

reflects input received from these 

processes. 

Arctic Research Plans focus on 

research that will be enhanced through 

collaboration among federal agencies 

and collaborators, align with federal 

agencies missions and with the goals 

and objectives set out by the U.S. Arctic 

Research Commission. The Arctic 

Research Plan 2022–2026 will provide a 

blueprint for effective federal 

coordination, thus positioning the U.S. 

to remain a global leader in Arctic 

research and stewardship for years to 

come. 

Overview of the Draft Plan 

As with the Arctic Research Plan 

2017–2021, this new plan adheres to 

four critical policy drivers in U.S. Arctic 

research that reflect long-standing U.S. 

interests in the Arctic and the collective 

priorities of IARPC federal agencies. 

Policy drivers include: Well-Being; 

Stewardship; Security; and ArcticGlobal Systems. 

There are four priority areas with 

thematic goals that, (1) represent areas 

of broad, crosscutting focus that need 

additional attention or research, (2) 

support one or more policy drivers, (3) 

meet the mission and interests of more 

than one federal agency, (4) and engage 

multiple existing collaboration teams 

and non-federal partners. Priority areas 

and goals include: 

1. Community Resilience and Health: 

Improve community resilience and wellbeing by strengthening research and tools to 

increase understanding of interdependent 

social, natural, and built systems in the 

Arctic. 

2. Arctic Systems Interactions: Enhance 

our ability to observe, understand, predict, 

and project the Arctic’s dynamic 

interconnected systems and their linkages to 

the Earth system as a whole. 

3. Sustainable Economies and Livelihoods: 

Monitor, maintain, and proactively adapt the 

Arctic’s natural, social, and built systems to 

promote sustainable economies and 

livelihoods. 

4. Risk Management and Hazard 

Mitigation: Secure and improve quality of life 

through an understanding of disaster risk 

exposure, sensitivity to hazard, and adaptive 

capacity. 

In addition to identifying four priority 

areas, this plan builds upon five 

foundational activities. These activities 

are critical to achieving the priority area 

goals and will remain foundational to 

Arctic research beyond the five-year 

duration of this plan. Foundational 

activities include: Co-Production of 

Knowledge and Indigenous-Led 

Research; Data Management; Education; 

Monitoring, Observing, Modeling, and 

Prediction; and Technology Application 

and Innovation. 

In contrast to the previous Arctic 

Research Plans, this plan presents a 

high-level strategy without explicit 

direction on implementation. For IARPC 

to respond more swiftly to emerging or 

immediate needs while continuing to 

support U.S. Arctic policy, this plan 

will be carried out through biennial 

implementation plans. These 

implementation plans will identify 

specific objectives, deliverables, and 

metrics. Four new priority area 

collaboration teams will be established 

to direct and coordinate activities 

including those of existing collaboration 

teams, to achieve goals and ensure the 

coordination of non-federal partners and 

resources. 

Seeking Input 

IARPC seeks comment on the draft 

Arctic Research Plan 2022–2026 to 

ensure Arctic research interests, needs, 

and priorities are addressed 

appropriately. Specifically, comment is 

sought on priority area goals, 

justifications, and potential partners; the 

foundational activities; and the 

implementation and metrics for 

measuring success.
