The Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) is chartered as a subcommittee under the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC).
The Arctic Research and Policy Act of 1984 (ARPA), Public Law 98-373, July 31, 1984, as amended, provides for a comprehensive national policy dealing with national research needs and objectives in the Arctic. The ARPA establishes an Arctic Research Commission (ARC) and an Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) under the National Science Foundation to help implement the Act. IARPC was formally created by Executive Order 12501. Chaired by the Director of the National Science Foundation, IARPC's activities are coordinated through a secretariat supported by NSF and other agencies.
A July 2010 Presidential Memorandum redefined the Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee as an Interagency Working Group of the NSTC Committee on Environment. IARPC operates under the guidelines established by the NSTC for an interagency working group and reports directly to the Committee on Environment.
IARPC, which consists of principals from 18 agencies, departments, and offices across the Federal government, is charged with enhancing both the scientific monitoring of and research on local, regional, and global environmental issues in the Arctic. In order to meet the Nation's economic, scientific, and environmental needs, IARPC envisions a prosperous, sustainable and healthy Arctic understood through research coordinated among Federal agencies and domestic and international collaborators.
DOE relevance
DOE is one of the federal agencies
Collaborations
IARPC Collaborations is a platform that connects federal government researchers, non-federal researchers, and Arctic communities—including those overseas—to work together on pressing Arctic research issues. It supports the five-year Arctic Research Plan.
IARPC Collaborations is free and open to anyone who can contribute, regardless of their role in Arctic research. The website has supported an unprecedented degree of interagency communication, coordination, and collaboration that has advanced Arctic science. Our member space includes more than 3,000 members of the Arctic research community, including those from federal, state, academic, non-profit, industry, Indigenous, and international organizations. IARPC communities of practice meet regularly via Zoom to advance research priorities.
Arctic
Under the Arctic Research and Policy Act, the Arctic is defined as:
- All U.S. and foreign territory north of the Arctic Circle;
- All U.S. territory north and west of the boundary formed by the Porcupine, Yukon, and Kuskokwim rivers;
- All contiguous seas, including the Arctic Ocean and the Beaufort, Bering, and Chukchi seas; and
- The Aleutian chain.
Arctic Research Plan
Every five years, IARPC is required by law (ARPA) “to prepare and execute an Arctic Research Plan in coordination with the U.S. Arctic Research Commission, the Governor of the State of Alaska, residents of the Arctic, the private sector, and public interest groups.”
The plan outlines a vision for federal agencies to address emerging research questions about the Arctic, and provides pathways to strengthen relationships between federal agencies and Indigenous communities, academia and other non-federal researchers, the state of Alaska, nonprofits, and private sector organizations. It is implemented in part through IARPC Collaborations.
The Arctic Research Plan 2022-2026 was released in December 2021. The first implementation plan focuses on deliverables to be completed by 2024.
