Program management support for the integrated, multidisciplinary Bering Sea Project: Maximizing return on investment

该奖项将支持项目办公室和协同活动，在白令海东部完成一个综合的多学科研究项目，该项目由美国国家科学基金会和北太平洋研究委员会（NPRB）合作资助。从2007年开始，白令海项目涉及了几十个单独的研究项目和100多名调查人员，所有这些都是为了提高我们对这个高产（和经济上至关重要）的海洋生态系统如何应对气候变化的理解，特别是通过季节性冰盖的变化。该奖项旨在最大限度地提高国家科学基金会的回报。s和npr ？通过几项被认为对获取和传播该计划的科学成就最为关键的关键活动，在该计划的最后两年获得美国的投资。该项目将为以下项目提供资金：1)科学期刊《深海研究II》专题特刊的出版；2)白令海项目科学顾问委员会（SAB）成员参加在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行的一次面对面会议和一次科学会议（2014年阿拉斯加海洋科学研讨会）的旅行；3)2014年一次顶级开放科学会议的旅行和会议费用。从一开始，白令海项目就整合了一系列的交流、推广和教育活动，将项目的科学发现传达给利益相关者、教师、学生和公众。资金将支持印刷和电子出版简短的“标题”科学概要、较长的白令海项目杂志和纲领性的“经验教训”文章。

This award will support program office and synergistic activities to conclude an integrated, multidisciplinary research program in the eastern Bering Sea, funded through a partnership between the National Science Foundation and the North Pacific Research Board (NPRB). Underway since 2007, the Bering Sea Project has involved dozens of individual research projects and more than 100 investigators, all working toward the goal of improving our understanding of how this highly productive (and economically critical) marine ecosystem may respond to climate change, particularly as mediated through changes in seasonal ice cover. This award seeks to maximize the return on NSF?s and NPRB?s investment during the final two years of the program, through several key activities deemed most critical to capturing and communicating the program's scientific accomplishments. The project would provide funds for 1) publication of thematic special issues of the scientific journal Deep-Sea Research II, 2) travel for members of the Bering Sea Project Science Advisory Board (SAB) to one in-person meeting in Arlington, Virginia and a scientific meeting (the 2014 Alaska Marine Science Symposium), and 3) travel and meeting expenses associated with a capstone open science meeting in 2014. From the start, the Bering Sea Project has incorporated a diverse suite of communication, outreach, and education activities to convey the scientific discoveries of the program to stakeholders, teachers, students, and the public. Funding would support print and electronic publication of short "headlines" scientific synopses, a longer Bering Sea Project magazine, and a programmatic "lessons learned" article.
