This action funds a one-year renewal for support of the US Committees for the bioscience unions that are part of the International Council for Science (ICSU) and administered through the National Academy of Sciences (NAS).The U.S. biology community is represented by NAS in five international scientific unions: the International Union of Biological Sciences (IUBS), the International Union of Physiological Sciences (IUPS), the International Union of Pure and Applied Biophysics (IUPAB), the International Union of Microbiological Sciences (IUMS), and the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB). There are two overarching issues to which the five committees of U.S. scientists who represent U.S. interests in these international organizations have assigned high priority. The first is the need for new, inclusive, multidisciplinary, and integrative approaches to biological questions. The second is the need to build human and research capacity in developing countries. This award will permit the NAS to continue to manage U.S. participation and assert U.S. leadership in these bioscience unions. Further it provides dues have to the five international organizations and funds to support the activities of the five corresponding U.S. National Committees. This award will also fund a new US National Committee for DIVERSITAS, an international cooperative research program on biological diversity under the sponsorship of the IUBS.

这项行动资助了对美国生物科学联盟委员会的一年支持，这些委员会是国际科学理事会（ICSU）的一部分，并通过美国国家科学院（NAS）管理。美国生物学界由NAS代表参加五个国际科学联盟：国际生物科学联合会（IUBS）、国际生理科学联合会（IUPS）、国际纯粹与应用生物物理学联合会（IUPAB），国际微生物科学联合会（IUMS）和国际生物化学和分子生物学联合会（IUBMB）。 在这些国际组织中代表美国利益的五个美国科学家委员会高度重视两个首要问题。 首先是需要对生物问题采取新的、包容性的、多学科的和综合性的办法。 第二，需要在发展中国家建设人力和研究能力。 该奖项将允许NAS继续管理美国的参与，并维护美国在这些生物科学联盟中的领导地位。 此外，它还向五个国际组织提供会费，并为支持五个相应的美国国家委员会的活动提供资金。 该奖项还将资助一个新的美国多样性国家委员会，这是一个由IUBS赞助的生物多样性国际合作研究计划。
