9522969 Kaufman This grant supports a two-day Joint US-Russia Workshop on "Planning for Sustainable Development in Russia: Using Environment and Health Databanks," to be held in the Washington, DC, area in the last week of April, 1995, which is to be organized by Drs. Ira Kaufman, Greg Guroff, and Murray Feshbach, under the aegis of Legacy International of Alexandria, VA, the Center for Post-Soviet Studies, and the Center for Russian Environment Policy. To assess Russia's influence on global economic change requires researchers and policymakers to have greater access to the Russian Federation's vast scientific resources and information. Likewise, government agencies, international organizations, corporations, and Russian citizens require the appropriate data to address the current environment and health crisis, as well as the impact of future development. The recent completion of the first "Environment and Health Atlas of Russia" is a first step to presenting the wealth of Russian data. To integrate the atlas and other information with global change initiatives, a repository for Russian environment and health data sets needs to be standardized, digitalized, updated, and translated to a format for policy makers. The goal is to outline a strategy for establishing a Russian electronic databank for environment and health. The workshop will fulfill this goal by (1) examining existing Russian data initiatives and assess future data needs for environment and health in Russia; (2) presenting several options for applying information technology to meet Russian data needs; (3) recommending the infrastructure and standards necessary for the proposed databank; and (4) generating new proposal ideas to address global change issues using current data. Delegations from government, private sector, non- government organizations, and universities from the U.S. and Russia will participate. The group will address the possibilities and difficulties to be encountered in creati ng a Russian databank, as well as integration of the databank with relevant international programs. Participants will recommend follow-up databank proposals, the submission of which, workshop organizers will coordinate. This project in geography and regional science fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading experts in Russia and the United States to combine complementary talents and pool resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence. ***

9522969考夫曼 这笔赠款支持为期两天的美俄联合研讨会，主题是“俄罗斯可持续发展规划：利用环境和健康数据库”，将于1995年4月最后一周在华盛顿地区举行，由伊拉考夫曼、格雷格古罗夫和默里费什巴赫博士组织，由弗吉尼亚州亚历山大的遗产国际赞助，后苏联研究中心和俄罗斯环境政策中心。 为了评估俄罗斯对全球经济变化的影响，研究人员和决策者需要有更多的机会获得俄罗斯联邦丰富的科学资源和信息。 同样，政府机构、国际组织、企业和俄罗斯公民也需要适当的数据来应对当前的环境和健康危机，以及未来发展的影响。 最近完成的第一个“俄罗斯环境和健康地图集”是展示俄罗斯丰富数据的第一步。 为了将地图集和其他信息与全球变化倡议相结合，需要对俄罗斯环境和健康数据集的储存库进行标准化、数字化、更新，并将其转化为供决策者使用的格式。 目标是概述建立俄罗斯环境和健康电子数据库的战略。 讲习班将通过以下方式实现这一目标：（1）审查俄罗斯现有的数据倡议，评估俄罗斯环境和健康未来的数据需求;（2）提出应用信息技术满足俄罗斯数据需求的若干备选方案;（3）就拟议数据库所需的基础设施和标准提出建议;以及（4）利用现有数据产生新的建议以解决全球变化问题。 来自美国和俄罗斯的政府、私营部门、非政府组织和大学的代表团将参加。 该小组将讨论建立俄罗斯数据库的可能性和遇到的困难，以及数据库与相关国际方案的整合。 与会者将提出后续数据库建议，讲习班组织者将协调这些建议的提交。 该地理和区域科学项目通过使俄罗斯和美国的领先专家能够联合收割机互补人才并在共同感兴趣和能力强的领域集中资源来实现推进科学知识的计划目标。 ***
