Antarctic Logistic Support
The Collaborative Gearing Scheme (CGS)
The Collaborative Gearing Scheme offers opportunities for fieldwork-based scientific collaboration with NERC's British Antarctic Survey (BAS), in cases where no grant funding for salaries, capital equipment or other direct science costs is required, but where access to BAS Antarctic facilities and research stations would enable fieldwork to be conducted for the proposed project.
A condition of receiving support by this scheme is that proposed projects must be allied to the BAS science programme, Polar Science for Planet Earth 
and be intended to enhance the outcome of that programme.
Information about the application procedure is provided on the Antarctic Proposals and Fieldwork Planning website, from where an application form can be downloaded.
Note that applications to the Collaborative Gearing Scheme, for projects that request Antarctic fieldwork during the 2012-13 season, should be submitted as an email attachment to the Antarctic Funding Office at BAS (email afibas@bas.ac.uk) no later than 16:00 on Friday 30 March 2012.
