9405398 Abbott In view of the excellent science and engineering capabilities that exist in many countries in all parts of the world, it is increasingly important for U.S. scientists and engineers to remain in close touch with the activities and plans of their foreign colleagues, in part as a means for planning joint research programs with them. Additionally, gaining an understanding of many important scientific problems, such as those associated with the global environment, requires cooperative scientific efforts on a multinational basis. U.S. scientists and engineers have a number of available mechanisms to maintain close communication with scientists and engineers in other countries. Among the most extensive of these mechanisms are the non-governmental international disciplinary unions which today comprise the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU) in which more than 70 countries are represented. National members of these unions, as well as ICSU-proper, are private scientific bodies whose activities are normally determined by committees of working scientists. In the United States, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is the official adhering body to ICSU and its unions. This grant will support U.S. participation in the ICSU complex by enabling the NAS, in cooperation with the National Research Council (NRC), to manage the activities of the U.S. National Committees for ICSU and 20 its 23 associated disciplinary unions for a period of three years. ***

9405398 Abbott 鉴于世界各地许多国家都拥有出色的科学和工程能力，美国科学家和工程师与外国同事的活动和计划保持密切联系变得越来越重要，部分作为与他们规划联合研究项目的一种手段。 此外，了解许多重要的科学问题，例如与全球环境相关的问题，需要跨国合作的科学努力。美国科学家和工程师有许多可用的机制来与其他国家的科学家和工程师保持密切沟通。 其中最广泛的机制是非政府国际学科联盟，如今由国际科学联盟理事会 (ICSU) 组成，有 70 多个国家代表参加。 这些联盟的国家成员以及 ICSU 本身都是私人科学机构，其活动通常由工作科学家委员会决定。 在美国，美国国家科学院 (NAS) 是 ICSU 及其工会的官方附属机构。 这笔赠款将支持美国参与 ICSU 综合体，使 NAS 能够与国家研究委员会 (NRC) 合作，在三年内管理 ICSU 美国国家委员会及其 20 个相关学科联盟的活动。 ***
