U. S. GLOBEC Coordinating Office at Rutgers University

该项目为目前位于罗格斯大学的美国GLOBEC计划国家协调办公室的活动提供资金。美国GLOBEC国家办公室为区域方案、科学规划和交流提供协调和支持。 随着该方案结束其区域方案工作，并已进入泛区域综合阶段，重点已从当地实地方案的科学规划转向强调比较研究的协调和规划，以及区域研究之内和之间的整合。 国家协调办公室负责有效地举行科学指导委员会一年两次的会议，包括所有会前和会后行政活动以及所有现场后勤支助。 与SSC一起，它协调美国三个GLOBEC区域计划内的综合活动，并负责准备和处理GLOBEC研究的机会公告。 除了南南合作的“例行”职能外，国家协调办公室还不断承担以下责任：1）确保成功的泛区域综合努力将所有三个GLOBEC区域计划联系起来，2）鼓励并执行国际比较研究，3）向科学界，公众和决策者通报美国GLOBEC的贡献，4）为后GLOBEC计划和产品的规划工作做出贡献。国家协调办公室将通过广泛的协调和外联活动促进实现这些目标。 这些措施包括：主办年度泛区域综合讲习班;在国家会议期间组织特别会议，并出版特别卷的综合出版物;通过网站和其他书面媒体（GLOBEC国际和PICES通讯等）传播方案成果;将计划成果转化为基于生态系统的管理和教育应用;评估潜在的全球生态系统工程项目后活动;以及协调最后一次美国全球生态系统工程项目研讨会。更广泛的影响：国家办事处活动的重要性远远超出了美国全球生态系统工程项目科学指导委员会的日常运作。 美国办事处及其工作人员负责确保美国GLOBEC泛区域综合阶段的成功结果以及整个计划的持续影响。 因此，国家协调办公室必须首先提供一个框架，在这个框架内可以成功地进行泛区域综合和一体化。第二，它必须确保美国全球经济合作计划的成果能够惠及最广泛的国家和国际支持者。 第三，国家办公室必须确保在美国GLOBEC计划中吸取的经验教训有助于规划未来的GLOBEC后计划。 最后，它必须努力吸引一批新的科学调查人员进入该计划的最后阶段。

This project funds the activities of the National Coordinating Office for the U.S. GLOBEC program, presently located at Rutgers University. The national office for U.S. GLOBEC provides coordination and support for the regional programs, scientific planning and communication. As the program has concluded its regional programmatic efforts, and has entered its Pan-Regional Synthesis phase, the emphasis has shifted from scientific planning for the local field programs to an emphasis on coordination and planning for comparative studies, and for integration within and between regional studies. The National Coordinating Office is responsible for the effective conduct of the biannual meetings of the Scientific Steering Committee (SSC), including all pre- and post-meeting administrative activities, and all on-site logistical support. With the SSC, it coordinates the synthesis activities within the three U.S. GLOBEC regional programs, and assumes responsibility for the preparation and processing of Announcements of Opportunity for GLOBEC research. In addition to the "routine" functioning of the SSC, the National Coordinating Office has the ongoing responsibility: 1) to ensure that successful pan-regional synthesis efforts take place linking all three GLOBEC regional programs, 2) to encourage and to execute international comparative studies, 3) to inform the scientific community, the public and policy makers of the contributions of U.S. GLOBEC, and 4) to contribute to planning efforts for post-GLOBEC programs and products. The National Coordinating Office will facilitate these goals by a wide range of coordination and outreach activities. These will include: the hosting of yearly Pan-Regional Synthesis Workshops; the organization of special sessions at national conferences, and special volumes of synthesis publications; the dissemination of Program results through web sites, and through other written media (GLOBEC International and PICES newsletters, etc.); the transitioning of Program results to ecosystems-based management and educational applications; the evaluation of potential post-GLOBEC activities; and the coordination of a final U.S. GLOBEC Symposium.Broader Impacts: The significance of the national office activities extends well beyond the day-to-day operations of the U.S. GLOBEC Scientific Steering Committee. The U.S. Office and its personnel are responsible for ensuring the successful outcome of the Pan-Regional Synthesis phase of U.S. GLOBEC and the continuing impact of the Program as a whole. Therefore, the National Coordinating Office must first provide the framework within which successful pan-regional synthesis and integration can occur. Second, it must see that results from the U.S. GLOBEC Program reach the broadest national and international constituencies. Thirdly, the National Office must ensure that lessons learned within the U.S. GLOBEC program are instrumental in the planning for future post-GLOBEC programs. Finally, it must work to entrain a fresh cohort of science investigators into the final phase of the Program.
