Toolik Field Station is pleased to provide students and early career researchers with userday support to conduct their own independent research projects in Arctic Alaska with the Tundra Award.

Short for Toolik Userdays for Naturally Developing Research Abilities, this competitive award supports the invaluable experiences afforded by conducting hands-on research in the field by offering access to Toolik Field Station. Often funding for independent fieldwork can be hard to secure for students and early career researchers. The Tundra Award provides awardees with up to 10 user days that cover food, accommodations, support, and logistics while at the station. We encourage applicants from all disciplines to apply.

Who is Eligible?

  • Current students and early career researchers (those who have been students within the past 5 years).
  • Submitted projects can be an extension of a project that has or has had userday support, but extensions of projects in which the applicant is not the principal investigator will not be considered.
