Participation of Qualified Oceanographers from Developing Countries in International Scientific Meetings

9808985 gross该奖项向海洋研究科学委员会（SCOR）提供资金，用于资助发展中国家和经济转型国家合格和活跃的海洋学研究人员的长期旅行计划。SCOR旅行补助金是为了使这些人能够参加与其科学兴趣有关的国际会议以及SCOR和国家科学基金会海洋科学部的会议。这个正在进行的项目已成为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。所有资金接受者都被告知，这项援助是通过美国国家科学基金会向SCOR提供的赠款来实现的。项目目标包括：扩大与海洋有关的国际科学会议的传统参与，使更多发展中国家的科学家参与其中；加强在规划大规模海洋学实验方面详细的区域知识或专门知识的交流；为发展中国家参与国际合作项目提供更多机会，如JGOFS和GLOBEC。

9808985GrossThis award provides funds to the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) for a long-standing program of travel assistance to qualified and active oceanographic researchers from developing countries and nations with economies in transition. SCOR travel grants are awarded to enable such individuals to attend international meetings relevant to their scientific interests and to those of SCOR and the Division of Ocean Sciences of NSF. This ongoing project has become the cornerstone 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. 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.
