Participation of Qualified Oceanographers from Developing Countries in International Scientific Activities

该奖项向海洋研究科学委员会（SCOR）提供资金，用于资助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的长期旅行计划。SCOR旅行补助金是为了使这些人能够参加与其科学兴趣有关的国际会议以及SCOR和国家科学基金会海洋科学部的会议。这个正在进行的项目已成为SCOR努力向第三世界以及最近在俄罗斯和东欧的海洋科学家提供援助的基石。更广泛的影响通过促进发展中国家的科学进步，这项活动的影响从海洋科学扩展到其他科学主题。在许多情况下，通过这些旅行补助金所建立的联系所产生的个人关系和合作可以对国际活动和发展中国家的活动产生长期影响。随着参与其中的个人在科学和科学政策的行列中不断上升，美国科学界也会受到影响。

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. Broader ImpactsThe impacts of this activity extend beyond the ocean sciences into other scientific topics by stimulating scientific progress in developing countries. In many cases, personal connections and collaborations that can result from contacts made through these travel grants can have long-lasting effects both in international activities as well as in the developing country?s science communities as the individuals involved rise through the ranks of science and science policy.
