To this end, the USARC delivers a biennial report to the President and Congress outlining recommended scientific research goals and objectives for the Arctic.

This report includes discussion of the following:

Goal 1. Observe, Understand, and Predict Arctic Environmental Change Goal 2. Improve Arctic Human Health Goal 3. Transform Arctic Energy Goal 4. Advance the Arctic "Built Environment"

Goal 5. Explore Arctic Cultures and Community Resilience Goal 6. Enhance International Scientific Cooperation in the Arctic

The report also includes discussion of emerging topics in Arctic research and results from the U.S. Chairmanship of the Arctic Council.
