9313563佩里这一奖项是对美国国家科学院支持国家全球变化研究委员会(NRC/BGC)工作的延续。其中大部分资金(605,408美元)用于支持NRC/BGC和其他NRC委员会和董事会继续为参与FCCSET地球和环境科学委员会全球变化研究小组委员会(CEES/SGCR)核心职能的机构提供援助，以制定和评估美国全球变化研究计划(US/GCRP)。通过这笔由作为CEES/SGCR成员参加的机构提供的额外资金，NRC/BGC和相关的NRC理事会和委员会将继续履行其在以下领域的职责：1.就美国全球变化研究计划(US/GCRP)向CEES/SGCR提供建议；2.定期审查US/GCRP；3.在国际规划工作中充当美国与其他国家之间的联络人；以及4.设立和运作特别特设小组，以处理美国/《全球气候变化框架公约》特别关注的问题。除了继续开展这些核心活动外，还通过国家海洋和大气局的机构间调拨资金向国家海洋局提供了121 532美元的额外资金，用于支持两项相关活动：1.国家海洋研究委员会努力补充国家海洋研究委员会/BGC的工作，特别是与海洋在全球变化研究中的作用有关的工作(这项活动将获得50 000美元的资助)；2.支持在国家海洋研究委员会大气科学和气候委员会主持下举行的目标会议(这项活动将获得71 532美元的资助)。***

9313563 PERRY This award is a renewal of an award to the National Academy of Science to support the work of the National Research Council's Board on Global Change (NRC/BGC). Most of this award ($605,408) provides funds to enable the NRC/BGC and other NRC committees and boards to continue to provide assistance to agencies participating with NSF in core functions of the FCCSET Committee on Earth and Environmental Science's Subcommittee on Global Change Research (CEES/SGCR) in the development and evaluation of the U.S. Global Change Research Program (US/GCRP). Through this additional funding, which was contributed by agencies participating as members in the CEES/SGCR, the NRC/BGC and related NRC boards and committees will continue to fulfill their responsibilities in the following areas: 1. Provision of advice to the CEES/SGCR on the U.S. Global Change Research Program (US/GCRP); 2. Provision of periodic reviews of the US/GCRP; 3. Service as a liaison between the U.S. and other nations in international planning efforts; and 4. Establishment and operation of special ad hoc groups to address issues of special concern regarding the US/GCRP. In addition to continuing these core activities, an additional $121,532 is made available to NAS through interagency transfer of funds from NOAA to support two related activities: 1. NRC Ocean Studies Board efforts to supplement the work of the NRC/BGC, particularly as it relates to the role of the ocean in global change research (an activity to be funded at a level of $50,000); and 2. Support for the GOALS meeting conducted under the auspices of the NRC Board on Atmospheric Science and Climate (an activity to be funded at a level of $71,532). ***
