Collaborative Research: Workshop: Forum for Developing US-Swedish Research Cooperation on Oden In Antarctica

作为极地研究秘书处与瑞典研究理事会和国家科学基金会在极地地区合作研究和物流活动之间的执行安排的一部分，预计瑞典破冰船奥登号在南大洋的专门科学时间约为20天。这一科学机会得到了美国和瑞典的支持，并与奥登号每年向麦默多站开辟补给通道的安排一起出现。这项合作提案要求支持协调和参与20名美国科学参与者参加一个研讨会，为美国-瑞典在奥登河上的研究合作制定科学优先事项。瑞典研究秘书处主办了这次研讨会，并将支持20名瑞典科学家参加。讲习班将于2008年2月10日至14日在斯德哥尔摩附近举行。PI将负责选择美国参与者，安排和支付他们的旅行，与瑞典同事合作组织和运行研讨会，与瑞典人共同撰写研讨会报告，并使美国研究界广泛了解该报告。瑞典研究秘书处负责美国研究科学家的食宿费用。 研讨会的主要成果将是一份报告，在研讨会结束后立即发布到网上，其中概述了船舶的能力，确定了瑞典破冰船奥登号在此机会下适当处理的科学主题，并提供了对双边合作感兴趣的科学家的开放注册表。PI将确保通过各种媒体和列表服务器广泛宣传报告和机会。本报告的目的是为更广泛的社区提供指导，以便在美国和瑞典发布的公开招标下制定竞争性提案。作为年度南极招标的一部分，美国研究人员将有机会竞争可用的船时间。参加研讨会的美国参与者将被选择涵盖一系列学科，机构，思想和职业阶段，并包括代表性不足的群体的成员。他们将被要求代表他们更大的社区。这次研讨会将为美国-瑞典的研究合作提供一个新的机会，这与NSF致力于扩大参与和发展新的伙伴关系是一致的。

As part of an Implementing Arrangement between the Polar Research Secretariat and the Swedish Research Council and the National Science Foundation for Cooperative Research and Logistical Activities in Polar Regions, approximately 20 days of dedicated science time for the Swedish Icebreaker Oden in the Southern Ocean are anticipated for the next 4 years. This science opportunity is being supported by both the US and Sweden and arose in conjunction with the arrangements for the Oden to break a resupply channel into McMurdo station each of these years. This collaborative proposal requests support for coordination and participation of 20 US science participants in a workshop to develop science priorities for the US-Swedish research cooperation on the Oden. The Swedish Research Secretariat is hosting the workshop and will support 20 Swedish scientists to attend. The workshop will be held near Stockholm on 10-14 February 2008. The PIs will be responsible for selecting US participants, arranging for and covering their travel, working with Swedish colleagues to organize and run the workshop, coauthor a workshop report with the Swedes and making the report broadly known to the US research community. The Swedish research Secretariat is covering the costs of accommodations and meals for the US research scientists. The main outcome of the workshop will be a report, posted to the web immediately following the workshop, which outlines the vessel capabilities, identifies science themes appropriately addressed from the Swedish Icebreaker Oden under this opportunity, and provides an open registry of scientists interested in bi-lateral collaboration. The PIs will assure broad advertisement of the report and opportunity through a variety of media and list-servers. The purpose of this report is to provide guidance to the broader community for competitive proposal development under open solicitations to be released both in the US and Sweden. US researchers will have the opportunity to compete for available ship time as part of the Annual Antarctic Solicitation. The US participants in the workshop will be selected to cover a range of disciplines, institutions, ideas and career stage and to include members of underrepresented groups. They will be asked to represent their larger communities. This workshop will provide a new opportunity for US Swedish research collaboration consistent with NSF's focus on broadening participation and developing new partnerships.
