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，用于资助发展中国家和经济转型国家合格和活跃的海洋学研究人员的长期旅行计划。SCOR旅行补助金是为了使这些人能够参加与其科学兴趣有关的国际会议以及SCOR和国家科学基金会海洋科学部的会议。这个正在进行的项目已成为SCOR努力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基石。所有资金接受者都被告知，这项援助是通过美国国家科学基金会向SCOR提供的赠款来实现的。项目目标包括：扩大发展中国家、东欧和俄罗斯科学家对国际海洋科学活动的参与；鼓励美国和其他发达国家的科学家同发展中国家的科学家进行接触，并促进海洋学所有学科的知识转让；在需要的会议上提供专门的区域知识和专门技能，例如在规划大规模实验的区域组成部分时；并为发展中国家科学家参与国际合作项目提供机会。

This award provides funds to the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) for a long-standing program of travel assistance to qualified and active oceanographic researchers from developing countries and nations with economies in transition. 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: broading the participation of scientists from developing countries, eastern Europe, and Russia in international marine science events; encouraging contacts between scientists from the United States and other developed countries with their colleagues in developing countries, and to facilitate the transfer of knowledge in all disciplines of oceanography; making available specialized regional knowledge and expertise at meetings where this is needed, for example, in the planning of regional components of large-scale experiments; and providing opportunities for involvement of developing country scientists in international collaborative programs.
