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极地区域合作研究和后勤活动科学基金会之间实施安排的一部分，预计在未来4年内，将为瑞典“奥登”号在南大洋的破冰船提供大约20天的专门科学时间。这一科学机会得到了美国和瑞典的支持，并与奥登号每年开辟一条通往麦克默多站的再补给通道的安排一起出现。这项合作提案要求20名美国科学参与者支持协调和参与一个研讨会，以制定美国-瑞典关于奥登的研究合作的科学优先事项。瑞典研究秘书处将主办这次研讨会，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。PIS将负责挑选美国参与者，安排和支付他们的旅行费用，与瑞典同事合作组织和运营研讨会，与瑞典人共同撰写研讨会报告，并使该报告广泛为美国研究界所知。瑞典研究秘书处正在为美国研究科学家支付食宿费用。研讨会的主要成果将是研讨会结束后立即在网上发布的一份报告，其中概述了船的能力，确定了瑞典破冰船奥登在这次机会下适当讨论的科学主题，并提供了对双边合作感兴趣的科学家的开放登记。私人投资促进机构将确保通过各种媒体和名单服务器广泛宣传报告和机会。这份报告的目的是为更广泛的社区提供指导，以制定将在美国和瑞典发布的公开招标的竞争性提案。作为一年一度的南极征集活动的一部分，美国研究人员将有机会争夺可用的航行时间。参加研讨会的美国人将被选为涵盖一系列学科、机构、想法和职业阶段的人，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和瑞典的研究合作提供一个新的机会，与NSF对扩大参与和发展新的合作伙伴关系的关注保持一致。

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.
