U.S.-Brazil Workshop: Scientific Information in Latin America; Health and Environmental Information for Sustainable Development, Brasilia, Brazil, March 2007

这项美国-巴西奖为美国国家科学院Paul F. Uhlir博士将于2007年3月在巴西巴西利亚举办的研讨会提供支持。这项活动将侧重于拉丁美洲永久获取科学信息的战略，重点是促进可持续发展的卫生和环境信息。它将采取跨学科的观点，探讨为成功实施与拉丁美洲健康和可持续发展有关的数字科学信息资源无障碍档案，需要解决的各种科学、法律和政策、体制和经济以及管理和技术方面的问题。在拉丁美洲地区推广的永久访问政策和做法有望改善美国研究人员与拉丁美洲国家研究人员未来合作活动中数据和信息资源的可用性。希望这一活动将促进该地区数字信息资源的开放和更好的管理，使两个半球的研究人员受益。该项目由国际科学与工程办公室美洲项目以及计算机与信息科学与工程理事会信息与智能系统司提供支持。

This U.S.-Brazil award provides support for a workshop organized by Dr. Paul F. Uhlir, National Academies of Science, to be held in Brasilia, Brazil in March of 2007. This activity will focus on strategies for permanent access to scientific information in Latin America, focusing on health and environmental information for sustainable development. It will take an interdisciplinary perspective and explore various scientific, legal and policy, institutional and economic, and management and technical aspects that need to be addressed to successfully implement accessible archives of digital scientific information resources relating to health and sustainable development in Latin America.The permanent access policies and practices promoted in the Latin American region are expected to improve the availability of data and information resources in future cooperative activities between U.S researchers and those in Latin American countries. It is hoped that this activity will stimulate openness and better stewardship of digital information resources in the region benefiting researchers in both hemispheres. Support is from the Americas Program of the Office of International Science and Engineering and the Division of Information And Intelligent Systems in the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering.
