This award provides funds to the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) for a long-standing program of travel assistance to qualified and active oceanographic researchers from developing countries and nations with economies in transition. SCOR travel grants are awarded to enable such individuals to attend international meetings relevant to their scientific interests and to those of SCOR and the Division of Ocean Sciences of NSF. This ongoing project has become the cornerstone of SCOR's efforts to provide assistance to marine scientists in the third world and, more recently in Russia and Eastern Europe. All recipients of funds are informed that this assistance is made possible through a grant to SCOR from the US National Science Foundation. Project objectives include: broading the participation of scientists from developing countries, eastern Europe, and Russia in international marine science events; encouraging contacts between scientists from the United States and other developed countries with their colleagues in developing countries, and to facilitate the transfer of knowledge in all disciplines of oceanography; making available specialized regional knowledge and expertise at meetings where this is needed, for example, in the planning of regional components of large-scale experiments; and providing opportunities for involvement of developing country scientists in international collaborative programs.

该奖项为海洋研究科学委员会（SCOR）提供资金，用于向发展中国家和经济转型国家合格和活跃的海洋学研究人员提供旅行援助的长期计划。海洋学委员会提供旅费赠款，使这些人能够出席与其科学兴趣有关的国际会议，以及与海洋学委员会和国家科学基金会海洋科学司的科学兴趣有关的国际会议。这一正在进行的项目已成为海洋学研究委员会努力向第三世界以及最近向俄罗斯和东欧的海洋科学家提供援助的基石。所有资金接受者都被告知，这种援助是通过美国国家科学基金会向SCOR提供赠款而实现的。项目目标包括：扩大来自发展中国家、东欧和俄罗斯的科学家对国际海洋科学活动的参与;鼓励美国和其他发达国家的科学家与发展中国家的同行进行接触，并促进海洋学所有学科的知识转让;在有需要的会议上提供专门的区域知识和专长，例如在规划大规模试验的区域组成部分时;为发展中国家的科学家参与国际合作项目提供机会。
