This award provides support for an effort to compile a manual of standard operational policies for biological field stations. There are approximately 170 field stations in the US that are member stations of the Organization of Biological Field Stations (OBFS) as well as a smaller number of foreign stations. OBFS members have pointed to the need for and utility of a manual that describes common procedures for field station planning activities, administrative structures and policies, facility provision and maintenance, program integration, data management and communication, fundraising, fiscal responsibility and financial management. As a major component of the effort, 10 participants selected from member stations of the OBFS will meet in a three day workshop to finalize an outline and develop an initial draft document Prior to the workshop, survey efforts and preliminary discussions with a wider group at the OBFS annual meeting will result in the compilation of existing operating policies, and generation of a draft outline of the proposed manual. The final product will be available via the internet and also as hard copy.New field stations are being established at a phenomenal rate, and older, established stations are reconfiguring to meet demands for integrating research and education programs. The OBFS, with support from NSF through several workshops and initiatives in the recent past, has identified the development of a standard operating procedures manual as a significant step in streamlining administrative and facility processes at stations. This is expected to help the stations offer the best possible field research and educational opportunities to researchers and students across the nation.

该奖项为努力编写了针对生物野外站的标准运营政策手册提供了支持。在美国，大约有170个野战站是生物野战站（OBF）组织的成员站以及较少数量的外国站。 OBFS成员指出了一本手册的需求和效用，该手册描述了实地站计划活动，行政结构和政策，设施的规定和维护，计划集成，数据管理和沟通，筹款，财政责任和财务管理的常见程序。作为这项工作的主要组成部分，从OBF的会员站选中的10位参与者将在为期三天的研讨会上开会，以最终概述并在研讨会之前制定初始文件，调查工作和与OBFS年度会议的更广泛的小组进行初步讨论，从而导致对现有的操作策略和一份提交的概述的汇编，并发起了一份提交的手册。最终产品将通过互联网和纸质副本提供。正在以惊人的速度建立新的野外站，并且较旧的老牌车站正在重新配置以满足整合研究和教育计划的需求。在最近，在NSF的几个研讨会和倡议的支持下，OBFS已确定了标准操作程序手册的开发是简化电台行政管理和设施流程的重要一步。 预计这将帮助电台为全国的研究人员和学生提供最佳的现场研究和教育机会。
