This is a time of rapid changes in the Arctic and in our abilities to understand, predict, and respond to those changes. No one country is able to support the level of research necessary to keep pace with the changing arctic environment, and therefore organizations like the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) represent important platforms for discussing scientific issues and promoting international, interdisciplinary, and in some cases, large-scale projects in the region. This grant is to support the United States' participation in the International Arctic Science Committee, a nongovernmental international organization that encourages and facilitates cooperation in all aspects of arctic research, in all countries engaged in arctic research, and in all areas of the Arctic region.This grant will support the US delegate to the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) to participate on behalf of the US Arctic science community on the IASC Council, its Executive Committee, and at national arctic planning meetings; to improve communication of IASC activities to US arctic stakeholders and the research community; and to coordinate US working group membership. It will also support some travel for US representatives to working groups appointed through the US National Academies process, and assistance for US IASC working group activities. IASC is not a funding agency, but facilitates international science development through workshops, networks, planning meetings, and early-career science support. It promotes and facilitates international research activities with an emphasis on issues that cross national boundaries, disciplines and timescales. National support for US participation is essential to ensure the US maintains a role in planning and coordinating these research efforts in the international arena.As one of four Vice Presidents on the Executive Committee of IASC, the PI has direct involvement in IASC decision-making related to IASC programmatic direction and programmatic funding recommendations for international planning, as well as influence on decision-making to the benefit of US scientific interests in the Arctic. The US delegate's role is to convey the objectives and goals of the US scientific community within international planning efforts.

这是一个北极迅速变化的时代，我们理解、预测和应对这些变化的能力也在快速变化。没有一个国家能够支持跟上不断变化的北极环境所需的研究水平，因此，像国际北极科学委员会(IASC)这样的组织是讨论科学问题和促进该地区国际、跨学科、在某些情况下的大型项目的重要平台。这笔赠款将支持美国参加国际北极科学委员会，这是一个非政府国际组织，鼓励和促进在北极研究的所有方面、在所有从事北极研究的国家和北极地区所有地区的合作。这笔赠款将支持美国驻国际北极科学委员会(IASC)代表代表美国北极科学界参加IASC理事会、其执行委员会和国家北极规划会议；改善IASC活动与美国北极利益攸关方和研究界的沟通；并协调美国工作组成员。它还将支持美国代表参加通过美国国家科学院程序任命的工作组的一些旅行，并为美国IASC工作组的活动提供援助。IASC不是一个资助机构，而是通过研讨会、网络、规划会议和职业生涯早期科学支持来促进国际科学发展。它促进和促进国际研究活动，重点是跨越国界、学科和时间尺度的问题。国家对美国参与的支持对确保美国在国际舞台上保持规划和协调这些研究工作的作用至关重要。作为IASC执行委员会的四名副主席之一，PI直接参与IASC决策，涉及IASC国际规划的方案方向和方案资金建议，以及对有利于美国在北极科学利益的决策的影响。美国代表的角色是传达美国科学界在国际规划工作中的目标和目标。
