This award supports travel for the PIs to Jinan University to plan a collaborative research project devoted to comparing the ecophysiology, trophodynamics and regulation of colony formation of a known species, Phaeocystis Antarctica, in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica with less understood Phaeocystis globosa, which has been discovered to be proliferating recently in large quantities and causing severe damage to the environment along the coast of Guangzhou China. Phaeocystis is a dominant phytoplankton genus worldwide with a peculiar life cycle that alternates between small solitary cells and large mucilaginous colonies. The planning visit is designed to lead to a collaborative, comparative study of these two species in order to better understand their biogeochemical cycles and impacts on the environment. The lead U.S. researcher is Professor Kam Tang of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) at the College of William and Mary. The counterpart researcher in China is Professor Qi, Yuwai of the Institute of Hydrobiology at Jinan University in Guangzhou. VIMS graduate students will have the unique opportunity to visit a leading oceanographic institution in China and actively contribute to planning research in an international context early in their careers. The planning activities also include meeting with scientists from the China Polar Institute to discuss opportunities for collaboration in conjunction with the International Polar Year.

该奖项支持研究人员前往暨南大学，计划一项合作研究项目，致力于比较南极洲麦克默多海峡的已知物种南极棕囊藻和不太了解的球形棕囊藻的生态生理学，营养动力学和菌落形成的调节，最近发现球形棕囊藻大量繁殖，并对中国广州沿海的环境造成严重破坏。 棕囊藻是世界范围内的优势浮游植物，具有独特的生活史，在小的单细胞和大的粘液菌落之间交替。 规划访问旨在对这两个物种进行合作和比较研究，以便更好地了解它们的生物地球化学循环和对环境的影响。 美国威廉和玛丽学院弗吉尼亚海洋科学研究所（VIMS）的甘唐教授是该研究的首席研究员。 中国的同行研究员是广州暨南大学水生生物研究所的齐玉外教授。 VIMS研究生将有独特的机会访问中国领先的海洋学机构，并在职业生涯早期积极为国际范围内的研究规划做出贡献。 规划活动还包括与中国极地研究所的科学家会面，讨论与国际极地年合作的机会。
