International Council for Exploration of the Sea: Travel Support for Academic Participants, 2014-2017

这对美国(美国)来说很重要。为了保持在海洋科学中的领导地位，根据总统关于海洋管理的行政命令，美国政府？S海洋研究优先计划和美国海洋政策委员会的目标。国际海洋探索理事会(ICES)大力从事与气候变化、生物多样性和海洋资源评估有关的研究，并正在建立海洋研究和管理的人文层面的投资组合。ICES的新战略计划强调科学促进可持续发展，其五个指导小组专注于科学以支持基于生态系统的管理，为美国科学家提供了许多参与国际合作研究的机会。针对区域海洋(例如，美国和加拿大海岸外的西北大西洋)、北极和可持续水产养殖的研究的新倡议就是新机会的例子。NSF的资助将确保美国学术科学能够在ICES发挥领导潜力，并有能力招募年轻科学家参与ICES活动。资金还将有助于确保学术界得到很好的代表，平衡美国政府科学的强大投入，主要是通过NOAA。为美国学术科学家参与ICES活动提供支持。ICES是在北大西洋区域开展和协调海洋科学的主要政府间组织。国际海洋科学中心的结构最近不断演变，其重点是支持可持续的、基于生态系统的管理，并继续依赖科学研究和科学建议这两大历史支柱，这将确保国际海洋科学中心始终走在海洋科学的前沿。来自美利坚合众国(20个签署国之一)的科学家传统上在ICES科学倡议中发挥领导作用，这反过来又振兴了美国的科学研究。这项提议支持美国学术科学家出差，以促进参加ICES年度科学会议、其工作组和研讨会、研讨会、主题会议和培训计划。基金将提供给有价值的申请者，特别是年轻和职业生涯早期的科学家。ICES最近的重组及其对西大西洋科学、气候科学、北极研究以及支持基于生态系统的管理的科学的日益重视，进一步增加了ICES对美国海洋科学利益的价值。

It is important for the United States (U.S.) to maintain a leadership role in marine science, in accord with the Presidential Executive Order on ocean stewardship, the U.S. government?s Ocean Research Priorities Plan, and the goals of the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy. in International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES)is strongly engaged in research related to climate change, biodiversity, and assessment of ocean resources and is building its portfolio in the human dimensions of marine research and management. The new strategic plan of ICES emphasizes science for sustainability, and its five Steering Groups focus on science to support ecosystem-based management, providing many opportunities for U.S. scientists to engage in collaborative international research. New initiatives directed to research in regional seas (e.g., the northwest Atlantic off the U.S and Canadian coasts), in the Arctic, and for sustainable aquaculture are examples of the new opportunities. NSF funding will insure that U.S. academic science can exercise both leadership potential in ICES and the ability to recruit young scientists into ICES activities. Funds also will help to insure that the academic community is well represented, balancing the strong input of U.S. governmental science, primarily through NOAA. Support is provided for U.S. academic scientists to participate ICES activities. ICES is the leading intergovernmental organization conducting and coordinating marine science in the North Atlantic region. The recently evolved structure of ICES, with its emphasis on science to support sustainable, ecosystem-based management, and its continued reliance on the historical twin pillars of scientific inquiry and scientific advice, will assure that ICES remains at the forefront of marine science. Scientists from the United States of America (one of 20 signatory nations) have traditionally taken leadership roles in ICES science initiatives, which have in turn invigorated scientific inquiry in the USA. This proposal supports travel by U.S. academic scientists to promote participation in the ICES Annual Science Conference, its Working Groups and Workshops, Symposia, Theme Sessions, and Training Programs. Funds will be provided to worthy applicants, especially young and early-career scientists. The recent restructuring of ICES and its increased emphasis on science in the western Atlantic Ocean, climate science, Arctic research, and science to support ecosystem-based management have further increased the value of ICES to U.S. marine science interests.
