9707602 Ketterson该奖项将提供由美国鸟类学家联盟(AOU)匹配的资金，用于支付美国科学家参加1998年8月在南非德班举行的XXIIND国际鸟类学大会的部分旅费。该奖项将帮助美国科学家出席许多全体讲座和研讨会，并作为演讲者参加大会的这些会议和其他会议(例如，投稿论文、圆桌讨论)。此外，美国科学家的参与将促进新信息的交流，并促进国际合作协议的达成。AOU奖项的遴选程序已经就绪，并将努力支持年轻科学家。由于AOU对科学家个人的奖励相当少，NSF的奖励可以用来帮助支付30多名科学家的Tavel费用。

9707602 Ketterson This award will provide funds that will be matched by the American Ornithologist's Union (AOU) and used to help defray part of the travel costs of U.S. scientists to attend the XXIInd International Ornithological Congress to be held in Durban, South Africa, in August of 1998. The award will help allow U.S. scientists to attend numerous plenary lectures and symposia, and to participate as speakers in these and other sessions (e.g., contributed papers, round-table discussions) at the Congress. In addition, participation by U.S. scientists will facilitate exchange of new information and foster collaborative-international agreements. Selection procedures for awards from the AOU are in place, and attempts will be made to support younger scientists. Because awards by the AOU to individual scientists are fairly small, the NSF award could be used to help defray tavel costs for more than 30 scientists.
