该奖项支持国际地质对比计划（IGCP）。它是由美国地质研究所代表IGCP美国国家委员会提交的。IGCP成立于1973年，是由国际地质科学联合会（IUGS）和联合国教育、科学及文化组织（UNESCO）共同赞助的多学科科学计划。其主要目标是促进全球地质问题研究方面的国际合作，重点是重大地质事件的性质和顺序、地质灾害以及能源和矿物资源。项目工作通过49个单独的研究项目进行，其中25个有美国工作组。另外12个项目由美国通过个别科学家积极参与。

This award supports the International Geological Correlation Program (IGCP). It is submitted by the American Geological Institute on behalf of the U.S. National Committee for IGCP. Established in its present form in 1973, IGCP is a multidisciplinary scientific program sponsored jointly by the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) and by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Its principal goal is to promote international cooperation in research on global geologic problems, with emphasis on the nature and sequence of major geologic events, on geologic hazards, and on energy and mineral resources. Program work is carried out through 49 individual research projects, 25 of which have U.S. working groups. Another 12 projects have active U.S. participation through individual scientists.
