Battelle ARO maintains an inventory of tents, generators, solar panels, stoves, etc. for researchers working in remote field locations. Battelle ARO can also provide custom remote power systems. Other site-specific third-party logistics providers may have field gear available for projects basing from their stations. Contact your site-specific provider, or arctic.planning@battelle.org for more info.

Researchers should plan to pay for all scheduled (i.e., commercial) airline tickets to their research hub. The logistics provider takes over at the hub. Check with the logistics provider for specifics. Additionally, en-route hotel/per diem costs are typically paid for by the researcher’s grant. Please be sure to include all travel costs to researcher hubs direct-to-grant.
