This award provides support for the U.S. annual dues to four, separate International Geoscience Unions that are part of the International Council for Science (ICSU): International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG), International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS), International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS), and International Union for Quaternary Research (INQUA). This award also provides support for the U.S. National committees (USNC) to each of these Unions. The role of the USNC's is to facilitate participation of American scientists in the activities of the international unions, engage the U.S. community in advancing geosciences in the U.S. and abroad; establish strong links to and foster communications with the respective international unions; exercise U.S. leadership in these unions; develop a globally aware U.S. geoscience community that collaborates internationally; and support the development of early-career U.S. geoscientists.

该奖项支持美国向国际科学理事会(ICSU)下属的四个独立的国际地球科学联合会缴纳年度会费：国际大地测量和地球物理联合会(IUGG)、国际地质科学联合会(IUGS)、国际土壤科学联合会(IUSS)和国际第四纪研究联合会(INQUA)。该奖项还为美国全国委员会(USNC)向每个这些工会提供支持。USNC的作用是促进美国科学家参与国际联盟的活动，让美国社区参与推动美国和海外的地球科学；与各自的国际联盟建立牢固的联系并促进与它们的沟通；在这些联盟中发挥美国的领导作用；发展一个具有全球意识的国际合作的美国地球科学界；以及支持职业生涯早期的美国地球科学家的发展。
