United States and China Planning Visit: seeking common environmental research strategies

OISE-0536505案例，Steven B（堪萨斯大学研究中心，公司），美国和中国规划访问：寻求共同的环境研究战略。史蒂文B。堪萨斯大学研究中心的凯斯将于2005年秋末率领一个包括一名资深同事和两名研究生的团队前往中国进行一次规划访问，以建立堪萨斯大学、天津大学、郑州大学和四川大学之间的研究和教育合作。这项合作将探讨当地大气状况（空气污染物）、生物指标和当地生物多样性，作为环境健康的衡量标准。该小组将采用分布式人类网络（DHN）作为他们的研究方法，该网络由来自两国大学和当地K-12学校的科学家，科学教师和学生以及公民科学家组成，以形成一个合作研究社区。在规划访问期间，PI和美国研究人员将会见目标大学的同行以及有兴趣参与DHN项目的当地中学代表。规划访问的一个目标是评估对应方以有意义的方式参与计划的研究合作的能力。

OISE-0536505Case, Steven B (University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc.), "United States and China Planning Visit: Seeking Common Environmental Research Strategies"ABSTRACTDr. Steven B. Case of University of Kansas Center for Research will lead a team that includes one senior colleague and two graduate students to China in late autumn 2005 for a planning visit to establish a research and education collaboration between the University of Kansas, Tianjin University, Xhengzhou University and Sichuan University. The collaboration will explore local atmospheric conditions (air pollutants), bioindicators and local biodiversity as measures of environmental health. The group will employ as their research methodology a Distributed Human Network (DHN) of scientists, science teachers, and students, and citizen-scientists from the universities and local K-12 schools in both countries to form a collaborative research community. During the planning visit, the PI and U.S. researchers will meet counterparts in the target universities as well as representatives of local secondary schools interested in becoming involved with the DHN project. One objective of the planning visit will be to assess the capacity of the counterparts to participate in a meaningful way in the planned research collaboration.
