The high photometric quality and full-sky coverage in the COBE DIRBE datasets make possible detailed studies of the interplanetary medium. This paper presents a preliminary derivation of the infrared scattering phase function of interplanetary dust. The ultimate purpose of these investigations is to use the DIRBE observations to constrain the composition, size and structure of interplanetary dust grains.
