Advancing U.S. Interests in International Activities of the Biosciences

这项行动为国家科学院提供了一笔为期三年的持续拨款，用于协调美国5个科学联盟的国家委员会，从而确保美国在国际生物科学界的有效参与和领导。这些联合会是国际生物化学和分子生物学联合会、国际生物科学联合会、国际纯粹和应用生物物理学联合会、国际微生物科学联合会和国际生理科学联合会。得到支持的还有DIVERSITAS，这是一个生物多样性科学的国际项目。虽然每个国家委员会都开展独特的活动，但它们都有一个共同的使命，即促进全球获取科学知识和研究资源，并促进世界范围内的网络和交流。

This action funds a 3-year continuing grant to the National Academy of Sciences to coordinate the U.S. National Committees for 5 scientific unions thus ensuring effective U.S. participation and leadership in the international bioscience community. The unions are the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, the International Union of Biological Sciences, the International Union of Pure and Applied Biophysics, the International Union of Microbiological Sciences, and the International Union of Physiological Sciences. Also supported is DIVERSITAS, an international program of biodiversity science. While each National Committee undertakes unique activities, they have a common mission to advance global access to scientific knowledge and research resources and to foster networks and communication worldwide.
