ANDRILL is an international scientific drilling program to core continental margin sediments around Antarctica. The Program's goals are to determine the behavior of Antarctica's ice sheets and ice shelves; to obtain global climate records from the very recent past to tens of millions of years ago; and to understand tectonic, biologic, and volcanic activity in this complex and active region. This award supports the Joint Oceanographic Institutions (JOI) to run the process for selection of the scientific party for each of the two drill holes. JOI runs a similar process for the International Ocean Drilling Program.The broader impacts of the overall ANDRILL project include formal and informal education, new research infrastructure, various forms of collaboration, and improving society's understanding of global climate change. This award will ensure that the scientific party is picked in a fair manner, and that important broader impacts such as diversity are considered in scientist selection.

ANDRILL是一项国际科学钻探计划，旨在对南极洲周围的大陆边缘沉积物进行岩心钻探。该计划的目标是确定南极洲冰盖和冰架的行为;获得从最近到数千万年前的全球气候记录;并了解这个复杂而活跃的地区的构造，生物和火山活动。该奖项支持联合海洋学机构（JOI）为两个钻孔中的每个钻孔选择科学方。JOI为国际大洋钻探计划（International Ocean Drilling Program）开展了类似的工作。整个ANDRILL项目的更广泛影响包括正规和非正规教育、新的研究基础设施、各种形式的合作以及提高社会对全球气候变化的认识。该奖项将确保以公平的方式挑选科学方，并在科学家的选择中考虑多样性等重要的更广泛的影响。
