Advancing U.S. Interests in International Activities in the Psychological Sciences

本项目支持美国国际心理科学联合会全国委员会（USNC/IUPsyS）的活动。USNC的存在是为了在科学联盟中代表美国，它是国际科学理事会（ICSU）的成员。该项目的目标是支持美国有效参与国际联盟并发挥强有力的领导作用，以应对国际科学技术领域不断扩大的需求。它将利用美国国家研究委员会（NRC）的志愿者传统来实现这一目标，这一传统吸引了顶级科学家和研究人员为美国国家研究委员会服务。隶属于国际科学联合会的国际联盟促进科学信息的交流，缔结关于标准和测量的国际协定，担任政府间机构的科学顾问，并促进所有科学家在不受政治或任何其他形式歧视的情况下参与其活动的权利。该项目通过为来自世界各地的研究人员提供机会，在共同基础上会面、建立伙伴关系和讨论合作，使美国研究界参与国际活动。

This project supports activities of the U.S. National Committee for the International Union of Psychological Science (USNC/IUPsyS). The USNC exists to represent the United States in the scientific union, which is a member of the International Council for Science (ICSU). The objective of this program is to support effective U.S. participation and strong leadership in the international union in response to expanding needs in international science and technology. It will accomplish this by taking advantage of the volunteer tradition of the National Research Council (NRC) -- a tradition that attracts top-level scientists and researchers to serve on USNCs. International Unions affiliated with ICSU facilitate the exchange of scientific information, forge international agreements on standards and measurements, act as scientific advisers to intergovernmental agencies, and promote the right of all scientists to participate in their activities without political or any other form of discrimination. This project engages the U.S. research community in international activities by providing opportunities for colleagues from around the world to meet on common ground, builds partnerships, and discusses collaborations.
