Geographic research has been extremely dynamic in recent decades, making the quadrennial congresses sponsored by the International Geographical Union (IGU) especially important settings at which scholars from throughout the world meet to exchange the most current results of their research and to plan future collaborative activities. The 27th Congress of the ISPRS will be held in Washington, D.C., in early August 1992, providing an excellent opportunity for American scientists to meet directly with experts from throughout the rest of the world. This award provides support for the 1992 IGU Congress in two ways. First it provides financial assistance to offset costs of the planning and operation of the congress. Second, it provides a means by which other federal government agencies may provide financial support through interagency agreements that will fund supplements to the initial award. This award will provide valuable financial assistance for the planning and operation of the largest and most significant gathering of geographers from throughout the world since the 1984 IGU Congress in Paris. As has been true of past IGU activities, enhanced scholarship and increased involvement in international collaborative activities by American geographers will result. Further positive consequences of this grant will be realized if NSF can assist in channelling contributions from other federal agencies to this important activity.

近几十年来，地理研究一直非常活跃，这使得四元代表大会由国际地理联盟（IGU）赞助，尤其重要的环境，在这些环境中，来自世界各地的学者会在这些环境中交换其研究的最新结果并计划未来的合作活动。 ISPRS的第27大会将于1992年8月在华盛顿特区举行，为美国科学家提供了一个绝佳的机会，可以直接与来自世界其他地区的专家会面。 该奖项通过两种方式为1992年的IGU国会提供了支持。 首先，它提供了经济援助，以抵消国会计划和运营的成本。 其次，它提供了其他联邦政府机构可以通过机构间协议提供财务支持的手段，该协议将为初始裁决提供资金。 该奖项将为自1984年在巴黎举行的IGU大会以来，全球最大，最重要的地理学家的计划和运营提供宝贵的财政援助。 正如过去的IGU活动一样，将会导致美国地理学家的国际合作活动的提高奖学金和增加的参与。 如果NSF可以协助将其他联邦机构的捐款引导到这项重要活动，则将实现这笔赠款的进一步积极后果。
