This fellowship supports training in science and technology studies and research on the science of greenhouse gases and its relationship with national and international politics. The fellowship recipient is an electrical engineer whose work has focused on the science of greenhouse gases. With this award, he will take coursework and directed readings under the guidance of a scholar on the comparative politics of science and technology. This assistance will continue as he undertakes field studies and document analysis exploring the science of greenhouse gases in three contexts: measurements of methane emissions from agricultural sources by academic scientists, estimation of a national inventory of U.S. agricultural methane emissions by Environmental Protection Agency scientists, and the standardization of an international methodology for compiling methane inventories by scientists working with the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The fellowship will address the influence of politics on the science of greenhouse gas emissions, the role of greenhouse gas scientists in international climate change negotiations, and the role of scientific knowledge in shaping our understandings of the global environment. This fellowship will help the investigator to integrate science and technology studies scholarship into his future scientific and engineering research and teaching, to incorporate social and environmental issues into engineering curricula, and to improve the ability of non-technical people to make informed public policy decisions regarding science and technology.

该研究金支持科学和技术研究方面的培训以及关于温室气体科学及其与国家和国际政治关系的研究。 研究金获得者是一名电气工程师，其工作重点是温室气体科学。 有了这个奖项，他将采取课程和指导下的科学和技术的比较政治学者的指导阅读。 在他进行实地研究和文件分析时，将继续提供这种援助，在三种情况下探索温室气体科学：学术科学家对农业甲烷排放量的测量，环境保护局科学家对美国农业甲烷排放量的国家清单的估计，以及与联合国政府间气候变化专门委员会合作的科学家编制甲烷清单的国际方法标准化。 该奖学金将解决政治对温室气体排放科学的影响，温室气体科学家在国际气候变化谈判中的作用，以及科学知识在塑造我们对全球环境的理解中的作用。 该奖学金将帮助研究人员将科学和技术研究奖学金融入他未来的科学和工程研究和教学，将社会和环境问题纳入工程课程，并提高非技术人员做出有关科学和技术的知情公共政策决定的能力。
