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(SCOR)提供资金，以帮助来自发展中国家的合格海洋科学家参加各种规划研讨会和国际科学会议，这些研讨会和国际科学会议由SCOR批准，并与国家科学基金会有关。这个正在进行的项目已经成为SCOR努力向第三世界以及最近在俄罗斯和东欧的海洋科学家提供援助的基石。所有接受资助的人都被告知，这项援助是通过美国国家科学基金会向SCOR提供的赠款实现的。国家科学基金会的资金用于在初步阶段扩大国际社会对这些活动的参与；一旦个人参与的价值得到证明，他或她将被邀请加入相关小组，然后将得到SCOR基本预算的支持。项目目标包括：扩大对与海洋有关的国际科学会议的传统参与，让更多来自发展中国家的科学家参与；加强在规划大规模海洋实验方面的详细区域知识或专长的交流；以及提供更多机会，促使发展中国家参与国际合作项目，如联合全球海洋观测系统和全球海洋环境研究中心。

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.
