Cooperative Institute for Arctic Research

The Cooperative Institute for Arctic Research (CIFAR no relation to the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research) was a research institute created via collaboration between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and The Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) and the Arctic research community through the University of Alaska for research related to the Western Arctic, specifically the Bering Sea region. The institute dissolved in 2018 due to a discontinuation in funding.
