Researchers considering fieldwork at Summit are required to contact the Science Coordination Office (SCO) at sco@geo-summit.org during the proposal stage. The SCO will make a preliminary assessment of potential synergies and conflicts with other science projects regarding logistical and scientific resources and suggest possible optimizations. Researchers must also contact the Battelle ARO Planning Administrator during the proposal stage. Battelle ARO will distribute a Requirements Questionnaire to the researchers to determine the scope, impact, and feasibility of the project. Battelle ARO can also answer logistical questions and will provide a project cost estimate, which must be included with proposals to the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and other funding agencies.
Steps to Propose Research at Summit
- Contact the SCO at sco@geo-summit.org
- Contact the Battelle ARO Planning Administrator and obtain a support letter and cost estimate for logistics support. Battelle ARO support estimate lead time is typically four weeks.
- Submit research proposal to NSF*
*there are other funding sources for research at Summit including NASA, NOAA, and international funding sources
