NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
Request for Feedback on the
Interagency Arctic Research Policy
Committee’s Draft Principles for
Conducting Research in the Arctic
National Science Foundation.
Request for public comment on
Principles for Conducting Research in
the Arctic.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Interagency Arctic
Research Policy Committee (IARPC),
chaired by the National Science
Foundation, is seeking comment from
the public on newly revised Principles
for Conducting Research in the Arctic.
Researchers working in the Arctic
have a responsibility to conduct ethical
research, to respect Arctic residents and
cultures, and to advance stewardship of
the Arctic environment. The revised
document updates the Principles for the
Conduct of Research in the Arctic (1990)
and renames them Principles for
Conducting Research in the Arctic,
hereafter the Principles, to reflect
current research disciplines and
approaches in the Arctic. The draft
revised Principles have been revised to
provide guidelines for the equitable
conduct of research, to better align with
U.S. Arctic policy, to include changes in
research methodologies, and to ensure
the Principles are more effective and
widely applied.
A U.S. IARPC Principles Revision
Working Group prepared these draft
revised Principles after conducting a
comprehensive literature review and
seeking and receiving diverse input
from Alaska Natives, Federal and State
and local agency representatives, and
researchers by a variety of methods,
including listening sessions at scientific
conferences, through a Federal Register
notice, and targeted interviews with
Alaska residents and researchers. The
Working Group seeks public comment
on the draft revised Principles, which
will be finalized after approval of the
IARPC agencies.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted no later than September 4,
2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: All
researchers working in the North have
an ethical responsibility toward Arctic
communities, their cultures, and the
environment. The IARPC developed the
Principles for the Conduct of Research
in the Arctic to provide guidance for
researchers in the physical, biological,
behavioral, health, economic, political,
and social sciences and in the
humanities. The Social Science Task
Force of the IARPC prepared the current
Principles, with approval by the IARPC
on June 28, 1990, and published by
IARPC in volume 9, (Spring, 1995, pp.
56–57) of the journal ‘‘Arctic Research
of the United States’’ (https://
www.arctic.gov/publications/related/
arotus.html).
In June 2017, the IARPC Staff Group
formed the Principles Review Working
Group to look into revising and
updating the current Principles to
reflect advances in theory and in
practice of community engagement in
Arctic research. The revised Principles,
entitled ‘‘Principles for Conducting
Research in the Arctic (2018)’’ aim to (a)
establish five core principles for
conducting responsible and ethical
research in the Arctic, (b) identify ways
to strengthen community-researcher
engagement across all stages of research
design, data collection, analysis, and
reporting, and (c) promote wide
implementation and practice of the
revised Principles. The audience for the
Principles includes academic, federal,
state, local, and tribal researchers and
all other entities conducting research in
the Arctic. The revised Principles
encourage mutual respect and
communication between scientists and
Arctic residents. These principles may
be applied to any interactions in the
Arctic, from interactions with Arctic
residents while travelling or transacting
with local businesses, to developing
deeper, longer-lasting research
collaborations. Adhering to the
Principles for Conducting Research in
the Arctic is recommended for any
person pursuing research in the Arctic.
IARPC requests comments from the
public on the revised Principles for
Conducting Research in the Arctic
(2018). IARPC is interested in all
comments pertaining to the Principles
and including the core principles that
researchers are encouraged to adopt

across all stages of research. The core
Principles for Conducting Research in
the Arctic are:
• Be Accountable
• Establish Effective Two-way
Communication
• Respect Local Culture and Knowledge
• Build and Sustain Relationships
• Pursue Responsible Environmental
Stewardship
