The objective of the Young Investigator Program (YIP) is to attract to Army research outstanding young university faculty members, to support their research, and to encourage their teaching and research careers. Young investigators meeting eligibility requirements may submit a YIP proposal. Outstanding YIP projects may be considered for a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). PECASE awards are the highest honor bestowed by the Army on outstanding scientists and
engineers beginning their independent careers. An applicant may not directly apply for a PECASE award. YIP proposals are invited for research in areas described in the PART I, Research Areas 7-15 only of the BAA. For the Atmospheric Sciences topic (8.2), research interests are: atmospheric effects on sensors and systems (8.2.1.), characterization of the atmosphere at high resolution (8.2.2.), and management of atmospheric information (8.2.3.).

This solicitation seeks proposals for activities to foster and sustain collaboration among projects funded by NSF that contribute to the U.S. arctic environmental change research effort. Many of these projects began during the International Polar Year (IPY) and are currently affiliated with the U.S. Study of Environmental Arctic Change (SEARCH) and the Arctic Observation Network. Others are supported outside of the auspices of SEARCH and IPY. The project or projects supported through this solicitation will provide resources to the scientific leadership that are needed to implement SEARCH's broad science agenda. The scope covers SEARCH generally and its component parts, observing, understanding, and responding. One key additional effort, which has gained prominence during the IPY, is needed to tie all these together: a robust and modern approach to managing and enabling discovery of Arctic scientific data.
