The USAP Portal: Science and Support in Antarctica - Web Content Publication Schedule

As directed by Section 207(f)(2) of the E-Government Act of 2002, the United States Antarctic Program (USAP) provides an inventory, schedule, and priority of content to be published on the USAP web portal, available for public comment.

Many agencies contribute to the content published on usap.gov, including the USAP’s contractor—the National Science Foundation, as well as the science community, and internal divisions.

If you have suggestions regarding the content on usap.gov, please contact our Web Support.
