The International Global Atmospheric Chemistry (IGAC) Core Project Office

该奖项为国际全球大气化学（IGAC）项目的核心项目办公室（CPO）提供资金，该项目是国际地圈生物圈计划（IGBP）的一个组成部分。IGAC的目标是促进和便利国际大气化学研究，从而更好地了解地球系统。IGAC寻求为规划和实施大气化学科学活动提供一个国际框架，以解决这些问题，特别是当它们需要超出单个国家能力的人力、技术或资金资源时。IGAC还寻求作为协调美国各种国家方案与其他国家相关国家和区域方案的工具，以便将注意力和资源集中在区域和全球范围的大气化学关键问题上。IGAC CPO的职能包括：（1）项目管理：CPO的基本职能是为项目领导监督项目执行的任务提供行政支持;以及（2）沟通：首席信息官的一项关键任务是充当项目的通信神经中枢，确保将有关项目及其科学成果的信息有效地传达给更广泛的科学界和其他客户群体。该项目由NSF，NASA和NOAA共同支持。

This award provides funding to operate the Core Project Office (CPO) of the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry (IGAC) Project, a component of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP). IGAC's goal is to promote and facilitate international atmospheric chemistry research that will lead to a better understanding of the Earth System. IGAC seeks to provide an international framework for planning and implementing scientific activities in atmospheric chemistry to address these issues, particularly when they demand human, technological, or monetary resources beyond the capacity of single nations. IGAC also seeks to serve as a vehicle for coordination of various U.S. national programs with relevant national and regional programs in other countries in order to focus attention and resources on key problems in atmospheric chemistry at regional and global scales. Functions of the IGAC CPO include: (1) project administration: a fundamental function of the CPO is to provide administrative support for Project leadership in their task of overseeing execution of the Project; and (2) communications: a key task of the CPO is to act as the communications nerve center for the Project by ensuring an effective channel for communicating information about the Project and its scientific results to the broader scientific and other client communities. This project is supported jointly by NSF, NASA, and NOAA.
