JOI Proposal to Manage US Science Support Program - IODP

根据这项合作协议，JOI Inc.将管理与综合大洋钻探计划（IODP）相关的美国科学支持计划（USSSP）。这将通过制定和实施以下内容来实现：规划和项目开发目标：钻井前活动;仪器开发;平台参与和考察后支持;教育和社区参与活动;以及创建协调结构和管理计划。正如在USSSP-ODP中所做的那样，JOI将继续接受美国科学咨询委员会的建议和指导。在海洋综合开发方案的执行期间（2004-2007年），预计海洋综合开发方案将用一艘轻型钻探船完成大约10次钻探考察，并可能在北极和浅水完成多达3次使命特定平台考察。USSSP-IODP将提供方法和手段，使美国科学界的广泛代表能够促进对地球各个方面的知识和理解，包括地球、海洋、大气、生物区系和冰冻圈，如IODP的初步长期科学计划“地球、海洋和生命：利用多个钻井平台和新技术对地球系统进行科学调查”所述。“USSSP IODP的更广泛影响将是通过支持美国各种学术机构的科学家来加强国家的研究基础设施，并提供促进教学、培训和学习的机会。最后，为了提高全社会的科学认识，并帮助美国科学界的发展，JOI将实施一项社区参与运动，将IODP和USSSP-IODP的科学成果转化为可获得的产品，以各种形式广泛传播。

Under this award for a Cooperative Agreement, JOI Inc. will mange the US Science Support Program (USSSP) associated with the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP). This will be accomplished by developing and implementing the following: planning and program development objectives: pre-drilling activities; instrument development; platform participation and post-expedition support; education and community engagement activities; and the creation of a coordinating structure and administration plan. As it did in USSSP-ODP, JOI will continue to receive advice and guidance from the U.S. Science Advisory Committee. Within the implementation period of IODP (2004-2007), it is expected that IODP will accomplish about 10 drilling expeditions with a light drill ship and perhaps as many as three Mission Specific Platform (MSP) expeditions in the arctic and shallow water. The USSSP-IODP will provide the ways and means to enable a broad cross-section of the U.S. scientific community to advance knowledge and understanding of all aspects of the planet, including Earth, oceans, atmosphere, biota, and cryosphere, as delineated in IODP's initial long-range scientific plan "Earth, Oceans and Life: Scientific Investigations of the Earth System Using Multiple Drilling Platforms and New Technology." The broader impacts of USSSP-IODP will be to enhance the nation's research infrastructure by supporting scientists in a variety of U.S. academic institutions and provide opportunities to promote teaching, training, and learning. Finally, to enhance scientific understanding across society and to help grow the U.S. scientific community, JOI will implement a community engagement campaign that will convert the scientific results of IODP and the USSSP-IODP into accessible products that will be disseminated broadly in a variety of formats.
