This award supports the U.S. participation in the Fourth Open Science Conference to be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in August 2010, during the XXXI Meeting of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR; www.scar.org). The main conference's theme is "Antarctic Witness to the Past, Guide to the Future", and this is an international and interdisciplinary meeting that brings together students and polar investigators of all ages from around the world with interests in Antarctic science and research. The conference is an excellent opportunity to view and discuss the most recent research results as papers on all aspects of polar studies will be presented. The provided funds will allow approximately 25 U.S. young faculty, researchers, postdoctoral appointees, and students to attend one of the most important international polar science conferences. During the meeting, the attendees will have the unique opportunity to hear the latest research results, network with international colleagues with similar interests, and nurture and enhance existing partnerships. Attendees will meet scientists from other countries and form new partnerships and collaborations that would not have otherwise occurred. In particular, applicants from under-represented groups, young scientists, and students will be encouraged to attend the conference enhancing their careers by meeting and collaborating with international colleagues. The broader impact will be facilitation of U.S. scientists' participation in international Antarctic science opportunities such as the SCAR scientific research programs. Following the formal conclusion of the International Polar Year (IPY 2007-2008) in March 2009, most of the ongoing and future Antarctic research efforts are now focused on formulating a framework for securing the legacy of this significant international event.

该奖项支持美国参加将于2010年8月在阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯举行的第四次开放科学会议，该会议将在南极研究科学委员会第三十一次会议期间举行。www.scar.org主要会议的主题是“南极见证过去，引导未来”，这是一个国际和跨学科的会议，汇集了来自世界各地的学生和所有年龄的极地调查人员，对南极科学和研究感兴趣。会议是一个很好的机会，查看和讨论最新的研究成果，因为将提交有关极地研究各个方面的论文。所提供的资金将使大约25名美国年轻教师、研究人员、博士后和学生能够参加最重要的国际极地科学会议之一。在会议期间，与会者将有独特的机会听取最新的研究成果，与具有相似兴趣的国际同行建立联系，并培养和加强现有的合作伙伴关系。与会者将会见来自其他国家的科学家，并形成新的伙伴关系和合作，否则不会发生。特别是，来自代表性不足的团体，青年科学家和学生的申请人将被鼓励参加会议，通过与国际同事会面和合作来提高他们的职业生涯。更广泛的影响将是促进美国科学家参与国际南极科学机会，如SCAR科学研究计划。继2009年3月国际极地年（2007-2008年国际极地年）正式结束后，目前正在进行和今后的南极研究工作大多集中于制定一个框架，以确保这一重大国际活动的遗产。
