Support for the Participation of Qualified Oceanographers from Developing Countries and Countries with Economies in Transition in International Scientific Meetings

该奖项向海洋研究科学委员会提供资金，以协助发展中国家合格的海洋科学家参加由海洋研究科学委员会批准并与国家科学基金会有关的各种规划讲习班和国际科学会议。 这一正在进行的项目已成为海洋学研究委员会向第三世界以及最近向俄罗斯和东欧的海洋科学家提供援助的努力的基石。 所有资金接受者都被告知，这种援助是通过美国国家科学基金会向SCOR提供赠款而实现的。 国家科学基金会的资金用于扩大国际社会在这些活动的初步阶段的参与;一旦个人参与的价值得到证明，他或她将被邀请加入有关小组，然后将从科学研究委员会的基本预算中得到支助。 项目目标包括：扩大传统上参与与海洋有关的国际科学会议的范围，让更多的发展中国家科学家参与;加强在规划大规模海洋学实验方面交流详细的区域知识或专门知识;提供更多的机会，使发展中国家能够参与国际合作方案，如海洋学联合政府首脑会议和全球海洋学实验方案。

This award provides funds to the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) in order to assist qualified ocean scientists from developing countries attend various planning workshops and international scientific meetings that are sanctioned by SCOR and of interest to the National Science Foundation. This ongoing project has become the corner stone of SCOR's efforts to provide assistance to marine scientists in the third world and, more recently in Russia and Eastern Europe. All recipients of funds are informed that this assistance is made possible through a grant to SCOR from the US National Science Foundation. The NSF funds are used to broaden international involvement in these activities in the preliminary phases; once the value of an individual's participation is demonstrated, he or she will be invited to join the relevant group and will then be supported from the basic SCOR budget. Project objectives include: broadening traditional participation in ocean-related international scientific meetings to include more scientists from developing countries; enhancing the exchange of detailed regional knowledge or expertise in planning for large-scale oceanographic experiments; and providing greater opportunities leading to the involvement of developing countries in international collaborative programs, such as JGOFS and GLOBEC.
