International Polar Year 2007-2008 Proposals

Expanded Proposal Submission Revised Deadline: 31 January 2005
Questions regarding Expanded Proposals should be directed to the International Programme Office: E-mail: ipyipo@bas.ac.uk

The following information is from the IPY website at: www.ipy.org

What should be submitted

Expanded, coordinated proposals for IPY activities should be submitted that state how the proposed efforts will meet IPY goals of excellent science in an internationally coordinated effort that will attract new researchers and improve public understanding. All expanded proposals should describe explicit integration and coordination among related activities; these proposals should not re-submit materials already provided. Detailed themes, objectives, and priorities are available on
the IPY website.
When submitting expanded proposals, use the form provided on the IPY website (www.ipy.org). To ensure prompt processing of expanded proposals, the IPO must receive all materials electronically and in the specified format.

What date should an IPY co-ordinated planning group use

Use the earliest practical date, guided by planning maturity and by scientific and funding schedules of all group participants.
Well-planned, well-coordinated IPY activities submitted in June can gain early Joint Committee endorsement. If, for reasons of national funding urgency, an effort needs prompt Joint Committee evaluation, the group organising that effort should submit by the June deadline and alert the IPY IPO to the need for a prompt response.
