9417137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(459,060美元)用于支持NRC/BGC和其他NRC委员会和董事会继续向与NSF一起参与NSTC环境和自然资源委员会全球变化研究小组委员会(CERR/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)。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提供咨询意见；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。除了继续这些核心活动外，还通过从国家海洋和大气局调拨资金和从国家科学基金会调拨资金，向国家科学和技术服务局提供额外的76,090美元，以支持应白宫科学和技术政策办公室的要求于1994年3月下旬举行的关于环境和自然资源研究与开发的国家论坛。这些活动的资金由国家科学基金会、国家海洋和大气管理局、国家航空航天局和国家环境卫生统计研究所提供。

9417137 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 ($459,060) 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 NSTC Committee on Environment and Natural Resources's Subcommittee on Global Change Research (CENR/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 CENR/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 $76,090 is made available to NAS through interagency transfer of funds from NOAA and funds from NSF to support a National Forum on Environment and Natural Resources R&D held in late March 1994 at the request of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Funds for these activities have been provided by NSF, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the National Institute for Environmental Health Statistics.
