Participation of Qualified Oceanographers from Developing Countries in International Scientific Meetings

该奖项向海洋研究科学委员会(SCOR)提供资金，用于向来自发展中国家和经济转型国家的合格和活跃的海洋研究人员提供旅行援助的长期计划。SCOR的旅行补助金是为了使这些人能够参加与他们的科学兴趣以及SCOR和国家科学基金会海洋科学司的科学兴趣有关的国际会议。这一正在进行的项目已成为SCOR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努力的基石。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。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。

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.
