This Cooperative Agreement provides support for the formation of a Scientific Management Office (SMO) for the National Ice Core Laboratory (NICL), a facility in Denver, Colorado which is jointly managed and operated by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the United States Geological Survey (USGS), and which provides a state-of-the-art, safe and controlled environment to preserve ice cores and an ice core processing area for investigators to conduct research . The Scientific Management Office (SMO) will be housed in the Climate Change Research Center (CCRC) of the Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans and Space (EOS) at the University of New Hampshire (UNH). The Scientific Management Office for NICL (NICL SMO) will serve as a direct point of contact for principal investigators interested in access to ice cores. It will also facilitate the formulation of a new Ice Core Working Group (ICWG) that will represent ice core researchers and those in related disciplines whose research utilizes or applies to ice core research. The ICWG will investigate a wide range of topics related to ice core research including NICL oversight, sample access and distribution, inventory, policy issues and the development of a plan for future activities. Through yearly meetings and reports the ICWG will provide leadership and direction to the ice core community. Members of the ICWG will be elected by the scientific community and will serve on a rotating basis. The first Chair for the new ICWG will be the Director of the NICL SMO and will serve for one year until ICWG members elect a Chair. A Sample Allocation Committee (SAC) developed from members of ICWG will provide timely recommendations to NSF and USGS on sample allocation and core access for qualified investigators. A data management coordination system with existing data centers will be organized by the ICWG through the NICL SMO.

该合作协议为国家冰芯实验室（NICL）的科学管理办公室（SMO）的成立提供支持，NICL是一个位于科罗拉多丹佛的设施，由国家科学基金会（NSF）和美国地质调查局（USGS）联合管理和运营，并提供最先进的，安全可控的环境来保存 冰芯和冰芯加工区 供调查人员进行研究。 科学管理办公室将设在新罕布什尔州大学地球、海洋和空间研究所气候变化研究中心。 NICL科学管理办公室（NICL SMO）将作为对获取冰芯感兴趣的主要研究人员的直接联系点。 它还将促进组建一个新的冰芯工作组，该工作组将代表冰芯研究人员以及其研究利用或适用于冰芯研究的相关学科的研究人员。 ICWG将调查与冰芯研究相关的广泛主题，包括 NICL监督、样本获取和 分发、库存、政策问题和制定未来活动计划。 通过年度会议和报告，ICWG将为冰芯社区提供领导和指导。 政府间科学工作组的成员将由科学界选举产生，并将轮流任职。 新的ICWG的第一任主席将是NICL SMO的主任，任期一年，直到ICWG成员选出主席。 由ICWG成员组成的样本分配委员会（SAC）将向NSF和USGS提供关于合格研究者样本分配和核心访问的及时建议。 ICWG将通过NICL SMO组织与现有数据中心的数据管理协调系统。
