这笔赠款将为大约20名美国与会者提供国际旅行费用，供他们参加北约“稳定状态下的科学管理”高级研究所的学习。这种支持将使美国科学、技术和社会研究领域的学者以及美国科学政策分析师和管理人员受益，因为他们可以接触到(1)旨在介绍每个群体的知识并将其与另一个群体的知识相互补充的课程；(2)他们在其他国家的同行以及他们的同行的工作。该研究所将于10月的头两个星期在托斯卡纳的Il Ciocco举行，。它包括三个部分，讲课、小组讨论和研讨会，围绕三个主题：国家科学系统--它们是如何变化的；研究基地的选择和管理；以及科学方面的知识、技能和职业发展。教职员工包括来自美国和欧洲的备受尊敬的学者和行政人员。教师的质量和该方案被选为北约高级学院都为其质量提供了保证。选择美国旅行补助金获得者的准则包括：需要；学术参与者和管理或政策职位的参与者之间的平衡；经验丰富和初级研究人员、研究经理和政策分析师之间的平衡；广泛的学术学科、家庭组织以及政府、行业和学术参与者的代表。结果将包括一本书和关于在这一领域需要进一步培训和研究的评价报告。在过去的二十年里，科学研究和科学政策领域得到了发展，并变得国际化。这笔赠款将为美国研究人员和实践者保持领先地位所必需的那种交流提供机会。强烈推荐获奖。

This grant will provide funds for international travel for approximately 20 U.S. participants to attend the NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Managing Science in a Steady State." The support will benefit U.S. scholars in the field of science, technology and society studies and U.S. science policy analysts and managers, by exposing them to (1) a curriculum designed to introduce and augment the knowledge of each group with that of the other, and (2) their counterparts, and the work of their counterparts, in other countries. The Institute will be held the first two weeks of October 1989, at Il Ciocco, Tuscany. It includes three components, lectures, panel discussions, and seminars around three themes: national science systems - how they are changing; the selection and management of the research base; and knowledge, skill and career progression in science. The faculty includes men and women who are highly regarded scholars and administrators from the U.S. and Europe. Both the quality of the faculty and the selection of the program for inclusion as a NATO Advanced Institute provide assurance as to its quality. Guidelines for choosing U.S. recipients for travel grants include: need; balance between academic participants and those in management or policy positions; balance between experienced and junior researchers, research managers and policy analysts; representation of a wide range of academic disciplines, home organizations, and government, industry and academic participants. Results will include a book and evaluative reports on the need for further training and research in this field. In the last two decades, the fields of science studies and science policy have grown and become international. This grant will provide opportunities for the kind of exchanges that are essential if U.S. researchers and practitioners are to remain at their forefront. An award is highly recommended.
