Intellectual Merit: This award supports a workshop to address the topic of Antarctic Integrated & System Science. Approximately 40 accomplished US scientists, including 6 early career scientists will be convened for 2.5 days in June 2007 to address whether there are Antarctic research themes and topics that would be better served by integration and a systems approach to their organization. They will also consider whether there are lessons to be learned from experiences in the Arctic System Science that would facilitate an integrated and systems approach in Antarctica. Finally they will address how the community wishes to provide guidance for an Antarctic Integrated & Systems Science program at NSF. The timing of this workshop is to take advantage of momentum provided by International Polar Year activities and a host of international planning activities currently underway. The intellectual merit of this workshop is in focusing the US community to lay out desired research directions and advisory governance structure for an Antarctic Integrated & System Science Program at NSF. The objective is to assure that compelling and relevant science questions are addressed in this domain.Broader impacts: This workshop will help to broaden the perspective of U.S. scientists, and provide an opportunity for the next generation of scientists to interact with leaders in the field. This award will also provide support for applicants from underrepresented groups, as well as early career scientists and students. A major outcome of this proposal will foster a new way of undertaking science in Antarctica that should promote potentially transformative findings.

智力奖：该奖项支持一个研讨会，以解决南极综合系统科学的主题。 大约40名有成就的美国科学家，其中包括6名早期职业科学家，将于2007年6月召开为期2.5天的会议，讨论是否有南极研究主题和课题可以通过对其组织的整合和系统方法得到更好的服务。 他们还将审议是否可以从北极系统科学的经验中吸取教训，以促进在南极洲采取综合和系统的办法。 最后，他们将解决如何社区希望在NSF南极综合系统科学计划提供指导。 这次研讨会的时间安排是为了利用国际极地年活动和目前正在进行的一系列国际规划活动所提供的势头。 本次研讨会的学术价值在于使美国社会集中精力为NSF的南极综合系统科学计划制定所需的研究方向和咨询管理结构。更广泛的影响：这次研讨会将有助于拓宽美国科学家的视野，并为下一代科学家提供与该领域领导者互动的机会。该奖项还将为来自代表性不足的群体的申请人以及早期职业科学家和学生提供支持。 该提案的一项主要成果将促进在南极开展科学研究的新方式，从而促进可能具有变革意义的发现。
