XXIIIrd General Assembly of the International Union of RadioScience (URSI); Prague, Czechoslovakia; 08/28 - 09/05/90.

该奖项将为参加1990年8月28日至9月5日在捷克斯洛伐克布拉格举行的国际无线电科学联合会(URSI)第21届大会的部分美国与会者提供部分旅费。这项计划将向美国国家科学院提供资金。三年一度的大会是URSI活动的主要机制。过去，美国代表的参与导致了与其他国家的合作项目。此外，大会活动还刊登在《大会论文集》、《无线电科学评论》、《URSI信息公报》以及与会者的旅行报告上。作为国际科学联盟理事会(ICSU)的组成成员，URSI在其美国会费和其美国全国委员会的活动费用方面得到了NSF的支持。NSF国际项目部负责协调NSF在促进国际科学合作方面的活动。根据科学组织和资源计划，美国科学家和工程师可以广泛获得选定的非政府国际组织的好处，包括国际科学理事会。对这项旅行赠款的支持与这项活动是一致的。考虑到URSI作为在多国和多学科背景下提供合作机会的一种方式的持续优点，以及通过国家科学院对美国参与的高度满意的管理，项目经理建议颁发一个奖项。

This award will provide partial support for travel of selected U.S. participants to the XXIIIrd General Assembly of the International Union of Radio Science (URSI), to be held in Prague, Czechoslovakia, from August 28 to September 5, 1990. Funding will be provided to the National Academy of Sciences for this program. The triennial General Assembly is the principal mechanism for URSI activities. Participation by U.S. delegates in the past has resulted in cooperative programs with other nations. In addition, Assembly activities have been published in the "Proceedings of the General Assembly"; the "Review of Radio Science"; the "URSI Information Bulletin"; and trip reports by participants. As a constituent member of the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU), URSI receives support from NSF for its U.S. membership dues and for activities costs of its U.S. National Committee. The NSF Division of International Programs coordinates the activities of NSF in fostering international scientific cooperation. Under the Scientific Organizations and Resources Program, U.S. scientists and engineers are provided with broad access to the benefits of selected nongovernmental international organizations, including ICSU. Support of this travel grant is consonant with this activity. In consideration of the continued merit of URSI as a way of providing opportunities for cooperation in a multinational and multidisciplinary context, and of the highly satisfactory management of U.S. participation through the National Academy of Sciences, the program manager recommends an award.
